(Anthony Asquith and Leslie Howard, UK 1938, 95 min., 35mm)

Professor Henry Higgins (co-director Leslie Howard, one year before Gone With the Wind) finds Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle (Wendy Hiller) outside a London theatre and decides that, with the proper training, he can pass her off as a princess within six months. David Lean edited what is considered by many to be the best of all screen adaptations of George Bernard Shaw’s plays.
