My Fair Lady

Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Stanley Holloway, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Gladys Cooper
I have LOVED "My Fair Lady" since I first saw it when I was a little girl, but for some reason never owned it. I'm thankful I have it now so I can watch it over and over and sing along! It's a unique story, and I love that the movie is full of drama, drama, drama. On that note, though, I find the ending a bit of a let down. Nice story, but I need the drama to match the rest of the film! Still, it's a thrilling story with great filmography and amazing acting. The copy I purchased is of excellent quality.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison, George Sanders, Edna Best, Vanessa Brown
"The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" is one of the classic movies that I picked up to show my two teens. We have been trying to expose them to great movies and this one rates very highly, indeed.

This movie is a love story, complete with one of the most complicated love triangles ever. The plot follows the recently widowed Lucy Muir (played by the wonderful Gene Tierney) as she tries to strike out on her own, renting a house haunted by the ghost of Captain Gregg (Rex Harrison is fantastic in this role).

Cleopatra

Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Pamela Brown, George Cole
I've been a fan of the swords and sandals epics for a long time now. Sure, they aren't all great films, but for the most part they are all entertaining to say the least ("ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"). When you add a layer of `biopic' on top of that, you have really peeked my interest. Throw the deliciously captivating Elizabeth Taylor in the mix and I am salivating in my seat.

I'll take four hours of that please!

Now, I was thoroughly entertained when watching `Cleopatra', but as my opening paragraph outlines for you, that is not something that should be a shock.

Eclipse Series 20 - George Bernard Shaw On Film (Major Barbara / Caesar and Cleopatra / Androcles and the Lion) (Criterion Collection)

Claude Rains, Vivien Leigh, Wendy Hiller, Rex Harrison, Stewart Granger
The works of George Bernard Shaw are like the works of William Shakespeare. They were written to be performed on the stage, not on film.

If you want these great plays to work in the motion picture medium, then adjustments must be made.

Shaw's comedies, in particular, though filled with colorful characters and brilliant wit, are also burdened with his social commentary and speechifying, which might work well in the theatre, but taxes the patience of a movie audience.
