Blu-ray Review: Rich, Brilliant Restoration of ‘My Fair Lady’
Submitted by PatrickMcD on December 14, 2011 - 1:00pmCHICAGO – One of the clear observations in re-connecting with the 1964 Oscar-winning Best Picture “My Fair Lady,” is that essentially it’s a timeless musical. It lives in a universe of George Bernard Shaw, adapted from his original play “Pygmalion,” and comes to life through the music and lyrics of Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner.
