EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the British Film Institute, we are transported back to 1938, where Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller bring George Bernard Shaw's timeless characters to life in Anthony Asquith's Pygmalion. The image captures a pivotal moment between the two protagonists, with Leslie Howard portraying the charismatic yet stubborn phonetics professor Henry Higgins, and Wendy Hiller embodying the determined and spirited Eliza Doolittle. Their chemistry is palpable as they engage in a lively conversation that reflects both their contrasting personalities and their evolving connection throughout the film. Leslie Howard's portrayal of Henry Higgins exudes an air of intellectual superiority mixed with undeniable charm. His piercing gaze conveys his unwavering determination to transform Eliza into a refined lady of society through his unconventional teaching methods. Wendy Hiller shines as Eliza Doolittle, capturing her character's transformation from a Cockney flower girl to an elegant woman with grace and authenticity. Her expressive eyes reflect both vulnerability and strength as she navigates her way through societal expectations while maintaining her own sense of identity. Anthony Asquith's direction beautifully captures the essence of Shaw's play, showcasing not only its wit but also its social commentary on class distinctions. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling through film, allowing us to appreciate these iconic performances that have stood the test of time.
