My Fair Lady is a beloved classic musical film from 1964 that features Audrey Hepburn as the leading lady, Eliza Doolittle, who is a poor and uneducated flower girl with a thick Cockney accent. Rex Harrison stars as Professor Henry Higgins, a proud and pompous phonetics expert who takes on Eliza as a project to transform her into a proper English lady.

The movie opens with Eliza selling flowers on the dirty streets of London and singing a whimsical ballad titled "Wouldn't It Be Loverly." Professor Higgins overhears her and is intrigued by her unique accent. He boasts to his friend, Colonel Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White), that he can transform Eliza's accent and mannerisms to be acceptable to high society, as he teaches her to speak like a duchess.

Throughout the movie, we see Eliza's transformation and her struggles to learn and adapt to the high society lifestyle. The movie includes some of the most iconic musical numbers in history, such as the upbeat song "Get Me to the Church on Time" and the elegant ballad "I Could Have Danced All Night."

His character provides a lot of comic relief in the film, especially with his performance in the song "With a Little Bit of Luck."
