I think we can all relate to Eliza's feelings here, whenever someone, or a bunch of people, does nothing but completely IGNORE us, not saying a single word about us, especially when we're RIGHT THERE, and yet they refer to us in third person, as if we're not there, or something. Especially the way Higgins does not much less say A word about Eliza's recent big accomplishment, having gone "from rags to riches,"so to speak.
In the play 'Pygmalion' the Hungarian guy added another line about how she'd tried to 'fool' him, he spoke Hungarian to her, she apologised and said she didn't speak French, he boasted that he could tell that she clearly speaks both
This has always been one of my favorite musicals. I don't know if this has already been commented on before, but I love the instrumentation and voice leading of the staff as they sing at the end. The whole score for this film is exquisite.
Even though no one is really singing in this song per se, the lyrics are awesome and the music goes so well with the acting and everything, plus it's hilarious as hell.
It was discovered during the restoration of the film that Rex Harrison did his vocals live during filming. They hid a body microphone on his tie or cravat or above on a boom or of the shot. He never did the quite the same thing twice and was very uncomfortable lip-synching. Everyone else is singing to track.
At least in the play 'Pygmalion' Colonel Pickering (who went to Mrs Higgins's house with Henry) had the decency when confronted with the fact that neither of them had stopped to compliment Eliza with some sort of an excuse 'Oh but she knew all that' (much less vicious then Higgins's 'I won the bet' comment) and afterwards seemed to actually realise that they may have insulted and ignored her.
@misslittleRoar thats a plot point, that they didnt congradulate her. She mentions it to Higgens mother when she goes to talk to her after this whole exchange.
I trying to understand the last line of the song "Congratulations" You'll ____________________ in history! Who understands what the singers are saying? Thank you for letting me know.
There was to be a version of this with Samuel Jackson as Colonel Pickering. The song was slightly changed "You did it, you did it, you mother f'ing did it, they said you couldn't do but, God D***, you did!"
@@HarryPotter87 ....my best guess, plot related. Even Higgins felt out of place ignoring his project like that. It's not that it was disrespectful like one might think...simply just odd, unnatural.
Andrews did not sing in this film. Marni Nixon sang some of the songs like "I could have danced all Night" but for some of the other song Marni's and Audrey's voice was mixed together.
Higgins y Pickering regresan satisfechos de la presentación de Elisa Doolittle en la alta sociedad, aunque el alumno de Higgins la puso en evidencia que no era dama de sociedad sino una simple florista, pero Elisa se sintió decepcionada, usada y manipulada.
+Rotebuehl1 They weren't going for real singers. I mean, Audrey couldn't sing, either. She was dubbed with a singer named Marni Nixon. Julie Andrews was the original Broadway show Eliza, but the studio went with Audrey, because her star was rising at the time......
"Oozing charm from every pore, he oiled his way around the floor..." I love the rhyming poetry in this movie!!

MrJamieMurph4141969 exactly! She helped pull it off as well! She deserves some credit for fooling the pupil!
Yeah but Higgins did it
@@Joseph-gg8ifI know, its true but give credit where it’s due; a lot of the credit goes to…..Colonel Pickering! Masterpiece!😂
One of the great movies of all time. Far more complex than it appears on the surface.

Professor Higgins!! Eliza is standing right there!! You should give her credit!! She deserves it!!
Well but Higgins did it.

I was in a production of this musical last month, now it's one of my all-time favorite musicals.
ehk I'm so glad I can relate to someone even if she's a fictional character. This definitely makes me feel better.
this is my favourite part of this musical!!
it terrible how they gave all of the credit to higgins and ignoring eliza
They made a song about saying you did it into something absolutely unforgettable. That's takes the true musical effort to get, and they did it!
i have to watch this movie in drama and this song gets me every time 😂😂

*Centrum silver brought me here!*
I had this on a reel tape when I was about 14 ,yeah I was a different kid

That’s good to know!!

Hilarious song. The men are so clueless. Just like in Why Can't a Woman be More lIke a Man.
As Anna sang in The King and I - by your pupils you'll be taught. The teacher might not always acknowledge it, though.
I trying to understand the last line of the song "Congratulations" You'll ____________________ in history! Who understands what the singers are saying? Thank you for letting me know.
Rick Sandlin "be mentioned"?
+Rick Sandlin Congratulations, Professor Higgins, for your glorious victory!!! Congratulations, Professor Higgins!!! You'll be mentioned in history!!!
ahh this song is so wonderfully funny. Poor miss Doolittle haha
Thanks
@deano12301230
The result is still fantastic. Acting, music, text, filming....unbelievable!
I apologize if anyone has any troubles viewing this video; for me, the picture freezes at parts. However, the video is still in sync. Enjoy!

Pickering: 1:54 "sike!"
That was just fucked up. Poor Eliza.

Wasn't that the point, the reason that Eliza left him, then Higgins realised that he was 'accustomed to her face'
It was Marni Nixon.
Rudapest from Budapest!!
@jeddawiya He is speaking in english!!
@jeddawiya "I must have aged a year tonight" I think.
@LaEspriella I never said he wasn't.
@rave44boy Oh, I don't know, I think that song has a modicrum of truth in it... :p

Yes, because she "couldn't sing as well as Andrews," that's implied to be already understood.
Higgins totally did it
That's exactly what @deano12301230 said...
I love it when Rex Harrison takes off his shoes and shows his sheer-socked feet!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Uhhh...Audrey *didn't* sing in the movie.
Posh rap
Wilfrid Hyde-White was an AWFUL singer...he was "nearly there", but missed the pitch
+Rotebuehl1 They weren't going for real singers. I mean, Audrey couldn't sing, either. She was dubbed with a singer named Marni Nixon. Julie Andrews was the original Broadway show Eliza, but the studio went with Audrey, because her star was rising at the time......
also the guy who sang "on the street where you live" was also different than the actor
