@@jlammetje Murder is still just talking about her aunts health. The stolen hat is just a minor detail, the important thing is she'd use it to protect herself from bad weather.
That's Cos Higgins himself lacks social skills. He's got little tolerance for small talks and offends everyone around him with his obnoxious behaviour 😅😅. No brainer when he couldn't teach Eliza what not to talk. He asked her to stick to the topics health n weather and she really never once deviated 😅😅
My Fair Lady is my favorite musical. I even wrote a parody of I'm An Ordinary Man. "Let a bully in your life and you live eternal strife!

Does anyone else love those hats? And is anyone else happy to see that at least one man finds her mismatched pronunciation and grammar/diction to be -- how shall we say -- amusing?
"Them she lived with, would have killed her for a hat pin, let alone a hat." That sure sounds like something a lady from an upper class family would say!
Funny thing is, a lot of "Lower class" slang back then was the "Upper class" vocabulary of the day before. "Ain't" for example, was proper grammar before the lower class adopted it.
Not just ain't. Both upper and lower classes would talk about huntin' shootin' and fishin' . Being grammatically correct was a sign of being irredeemably middle-class (or nouveau riche as the upper classes would have it).
At 0:09, that little “sit down” gesture he does is HILARIOUS. All he had to do was point at the chair to signal that she needed to sit, but instead he does … that.
This exchange had me in tears I nearly fainted laughing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was done when she said "laddle gin down her throat", "something chronic",and " what was you sniggerling at". . . Oh Audrey fantastic delivery as Eliza Doolittle.
If you look at her early years cycling around the studios with her little terrier in her bicycle basket she was really fairly plain looking in her 'normal' clothes, thick eyebrows and short bob cut. She was an elegant young lady but of the time she wouldn't have been classed as a natural beauty though that's in the eye of the beholder of course.
HERE'S TO THIS ICONIC SMALL TALK THAT YOU CAN READ ALONG: HIGGINS. Miss Doolittle. LIZA. Good afternoon, Professor Higgins. Higgins trying to mime, telling Liza to sit down. FREDDY. [brings his chair and sits down in front of Liza, infatuated.] The first race was very exciting, Miss Doolittle. I'm so sorry that you missed it. MRS. HIGGINS [conversationally] Will it rain, do you think? LIZA. The rain in spain stays mainly in the plain. Higgins dances to the tune of the phrase. Mrs. Eynsford Hill was surprised by his dancing. LIZA. But in Hartford, Herriford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen. FREDDY. Ha! ha! How awfully funny! LIZA. What is wrong with that, young man? I bet I got it right. FREDDY. Smashing! MRS. EYNSFORD HILL. Hasn't it suddenly turned chilly? I do hope we won't have any unseasonable cold spell. They bring on too much influenza, and the whole of our family is susceptible to it. LIZA [darkly] My aunt died of influenza: so they said. But it's my belief they done the old woman in. MRS. HIGGINS [puzzled] Done her in? LIZA. Y-e-e-e-es, Lord love you! Why should she die of influenza when she come through diphtheria right enough the year before? Fairly blue with it, she was. They all thought she was dead; but my father he kept ladling gin down her throat. [Higgins reacted disappointedly, placing his cup of tea atop his hat] Then, she come to so sudden, she bit the bowl off the spoon. MRS. EYNSFORD HILL [startled, while lord and lady boxington, baffled] Dear me! LIZA. Now what call would a woman with that strength in her have to die of influenza? And what become of her new straw hat that should have come to me? COL. PICKERING [looking at Higgins, looking worried] LIZA. Somebody pinched it; and what I say is, them as pinched it done her in. LORD BOXINGTON. Done her in? Done her in, did you say? LADY BOXINGTON. Whatever does it mean? HIGGINS [hastily] Oh, that's the new small talk. To do somebody in, means to kill them. MRS. EYNSFORD HILL [to Eliza, horrified] But you surely don't believe that your aunt was killed? LIZA. Do I not! Them she lived with would have killed her for a hat-pin, let alone a hat. MRS. EYNSFORD HILL. But it can't have been right for your father to pour spirits down her throat like that. It might have killed her. LIZA. Not her. Gin was mother's milk to her. Besides, he'd poured so much down his own throat, he knew the good of it. MRS. EYNSFORD HILL. Do you mean that, he drank? LIZA. Drank! My word! Something chronic. Freddy gets in convulsions of suppressed laughter. LIZA. Here! what are you sniggering at? FREDDY. It's the new small talk. You're doing it so awfully well. LIZA. Well, if I was doing it proper, what was you sniggering at? [To Higgins] Have I said anything I oughtn't? HIGGINS. [upset, reacting] Oh no. MRS. HIGGINS [interposing] Not at all, my dear. LIZA. Well, that's a mercy, anyhow.
In this scene Eliza is half way through her 6 months long educational period. Upto that point Higgins only thought her how to pronounce words properly. In the remaining few months, they teach her how to behave and talk in high society (especially the aristocratic one). You may want to watch the original movie "Pygmalion" which follows the original story in the play by Bernard Shaw.
I love how all the rich people were still kind to her, despite her vernacular (up until the horse race later). They might have guessed she wasn't born into money, but still seemed to see her as one of 'them'. It's Higgins who is making a fool of himself! lol
Its a Masterclass in Elocution by an actress of outstanding ability. A bit like 'Allo 'Allo meets the rich totty of the 1950's. And what beauty and elfine grace Audrey Hepburn had. Wonderful.
He had more decades practicing it an growing up privileged class already.. there’s the difference being born into it and still crass and Eliza took many leaps to fools people overnight.
Poor old Professor Higgins wants the ground to open up as does Col.Pickering. A few minor imperfections to sort out. Eliza,so beautiful and the hat is quite incredible. Thank you for this hilarious posting.
This is brilliant acting, to speak in RP using the language of the common folk interspersed mid way through the sentences is incredibly difficult, it was bloomin' perfect in fact!
I think she did. She only returned to Higgins to end on good terms with him, given that she has her new lot in life only thanks to his teachings. And maybe to pick up a toothbrush that she forgot. But she definitely did not pick up his slippers!!! She definitely married Freddy.
Rex Harrison was so well cast. I love how Prof. Higgins puts the cup of tea on his head when Eliza gets her pronunciation and diction so horribly wrong.
"The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain" Ah, that's my cue to do a half-hearted flamenco dance! Noblesse-oblige is mighty confusing to a commoner like me.
I agree. Truly a classy lady. I read somewhere that when Disney was making SLEEPING BEAUTY, they based the physical shape of Princess Aurora on Audrey. If that's true, then the animators surely picked the right lady to do so.
I absolutely love Mr Higgins. I remember rewinding this scene 50 times to see him dance when she said something so outrageous. It’s so spontaneous how he danced it’s hilarious. I love her role here so much.
Actually a straw boater was de rigueur for lounging on ones boat or punt whilst ones butler/serf punted you down river to the summer house. Boaters are also worn at Eaton so factually it's the other way around, a straw hat is the hat of the upper classes, the common folk wore flat caps if anything.
@@tonyfranklin8306 yeah and of course based on the decorations too! Look at some marie Antoinette's picture hat, some of them are this so flat curved at on side kind of straw hat sort... I saw i in the movie the Duchess too
to this day i kinda have a hard time what eliza is saying but i still get the gist of it now and waaaay before and it's still hilarious!!! XD the content of her story is probably so crude and alien to the upper-class but eliza says it with such class that it actually sounds more outrageous lmao
I watched this in 11th grade for English class; we read the play Pygmalion. Even though I hate musicals, this scene is freaking hilarious! I lose it when she says in the proper accent: “my father, he kept ladling gin down her throat. Then she came to so sudden she bit the bowl off the spoon” so funny.
The irony being that talking like this genuinely was a popular fad amongst the gentry of England at one point. A bit like Marie Antoinette and her fake farm, churning butter like a peasant etc.
It was. If you watch The Scarlet Pimpernel with Anthony Andrews, he talks the same way with the Prince Regent, and the Prince responds in a similar fashion. It was very fashionable, as was being late to a social event.
She kind of replicating the other ladies' voice 😅😆😆😆 this is why Audrey's so hard to clone at... another one I think was Vivien Leigh... these scenes are complicated. The eyes, the movements, the phrasing, the great ensemble and of course the costumes by Cecil Beaton were like icing on the cake to put it on iconic tier
I just watched 3 versions of this scene from the Original Pygmalion, to Peter O'Toole's. Audrey Hepburn's performance here is the most hilarious. It almost has a 'Bugs Bunny' approach to it. Love it!
His big mistake: he taught her the diction, but he didn't teach her how to carry on a conversation with it.
Well I mean technically she did talk only about weather and health.
@@XarkoCZ And murder and thievery...
@@jlammetje Murder is still just talking about her aunts health. The stolen hat is just a minor detail, the important thing is she'd use it to protect herself from bad weather.

Her expressions are brilliant. Particularly when Higgins asks her to sit down.
I never get tired of watching this film...timeless.
sensemaya1 how many times have you watched it I saw it 11 times
sensemaya1 my sentiments exactly.
I watched it on DVD a couple of times a year until I got my smartphone, now I watch it once a month on UA-cam.
Me too
"Them as pinched it done her in!" - she's so adorable...
what does it mean?😂
r.s.b 1997 the person who stole the hat is the one that killed her
@@tombullard123 a straw hat that should have come to me!
I could've watched a whole film of her delivering cockney parlance in a cut glass English accent. Exquisite scene.
Take Eliza to Ascot for her first outing: What could go wrong. At least we get to see Henry Higgins do his Cringe!
I love the *relish* in her voice as she stirs her tea while sharing a bit
of seedy family gossip with the Upper Class!! Love it! 👒📍
Beautifully put
Does anyone else love those hats? And is anyone else happy to see that at least one man finds her mismatched pronunciation and grammar/diction to be -- how shall we say -- amusing?
GregoryTheGr8ster YES. God, she should have gone with him not Higgins.
Njörun Ránsdóttir She did in the original play. :-)
GregoryTheGr8ster yes. They used this angle very well when they redid it in pretty woman.
how awfully funny
He's madly in love with her... Oh Freddie
"Done her in? Done her in, did you say?" This guy is the prototype of an English snob and I love it.
It’s my favorite scene in the entire movie!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕 I love how she speaks and he’s soooooo PROUD of his masterpiece hahahahha
what does it mean "Done her in" ?
@@raghadb2044 "you surely don't believe that your aunt was killed?" ... "do I not?" ...
@@raghadb2044 It means "murdered her"
Jeremy's little "sniggers" and giggles are absolutely endearing... the one and only Sherlock Holmes
So handsome too😍😍
That was Jeremy Brett!?
Except the Soviet Sherlock was the best. He even received an award from Queen Elizabeth.
I had no idea Jeremy Brett was in this! Yes the best Sherlock!
I love how Higgins wants her to be all proper but then puts a teacup on his head.
Men wants women to be but they exempted themselves.
Eliza doesn't blunder the small talk, she does it so awfully well...
"gin was mother's milk to her" LOL
I think that was the Queen Mother's favourite line.
Pepsi-cola is mother's milk to me.
"Besides he poured so much down his own throught he knew the good of it"
"Them she lived with, would have killed her for a hat pin, let alone a hat."
That sure sounds like something a lady from an upper class family would say!
Funny thing is, a lot of "Lower class" slang back then was the "Upper class" vocabulary of the day before. "Ain't" for example, was proper grammar before the lower class adopted it.
Garl Vinland Ain't was *proper grammar* at one time??? I'm laughing like a drain at that.
Not just ain't. Both upper and lower classes would talk about huntin' shootin' and fishin' . Being grammatically correct was a sign of being irredeemably middle-class (or nouveau riche as the upper classes would have it).
But she said it so eloquently. 😊
"Gin was mother's milk to her" ... very ladylike?
Freddie’s reaction is exactly how the audience reacted to her story
I think the international signal for distress should be to put a tea cup and saucer on your head. XD
Oh really 🤔😂
0:35 Jeremy Brett and his classic giggle... *swoon*
I come back to this film for Jeremy Brett, again and again.
Jeremy Brett's laughter is so infectious. Reminds me of Sherlock Holmes.
Jeremy does go on to play (in my opinion, the best interpretation) Sherlock Holmes in the late 70's all the way to the early 90's
At 0:09, that little “sit down” gesture he does is HILARIOUS. All he had to do was point at the chair to signal that she needed to sit, but instead he does … that.

so so good
what does snickering mean?😅
r.s.b 1997 like giggling
@@raghadb2044 it's the new small talk, it means eating snickers
I love how that one young man (I forget his name, wasn't it Freddie or something?) is so completely charmed by her.
Freddy Eynsford Hill- portrayed by the great Jeremy Brett- (Sherlock Holmes in the Granada TV series)
As per the book, he finally wins her affection in the end . ElizaXFreddie #shipit 😁✌️
Probably because she’s so real and candid
smuckersgoober I mean with all those high society rules, it’s probably refreshing to have someone unapologetically say whatever they feel
smuckersgoober weren’t we all?
Jeremy Brett is so charming, I couldn't help but smile 'till my cheeks hurt
This exchange had me in tears I nearly fainted laughing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was done when she said "laddle gin down her throat", "something chronic",and " what was you sniggerling at". . . Oh Audrey fantastic delivery as Eliza Doolittle.
Freddy's enchantment with Eliza was just adorable to look at💞 Jeremy and Audrey were just amazing 🔥
Its Pickering and Higgin's responses which makes this scene for me. Both of their combined embarrassment and shame is just hilarious.
One of my favourite scenes of the whole film - Jeremy Brett is so sweet in this :D
I can watch it over and over and over...and damn right Freddie was charmed! He's a gentleman, but he ain't a fool!
The writer/s for this scene were/are truly artists. A classic scene.
“Drank?!
My word, something chronic!”
I burst out laughing at this at the library and people stared!! 😅😂
"Done her in?"
"Yes, Lord love you."
My favorite part of the whole movie!
"Fairly blue that she was"
Very Funny 😂😂😂😂😂
😂🤣🤣
I love how Henry reacts to her behaviour in this scene. I would have hid a long time ago.
His face after Eliza's just shouted 'Move your bloomin' arse Dover' is brilliant!
kyokoushio I laughed so hard at that scene that my blooming lungs didn't move for a while. (Translation: I laughed myself breathless.)
Jremmy was so dashing gentleman when he was young
Classic. BTW, Audrey was always beautiful, but she is absolutely stunning here.
If you look at her early years cycling around the studios with her little terrier in her bicycle basket she was really fairly plain looking in her 'normal' clothes, thick eyebrows and short bob cut. She was an elegant young lady but of the time she wouldn't have been classed as a natural beauty though that's in the eye of the beholder of course.
This scene is the perfect example between accent and dialect. Her accent, he tone of voice had changed. But her words and general speech hasn't.

I remember when I was younger and I saw this outfit. I loved it from first sight.
I love that Higgins is just as crass and weird in social situations as Eliza. He's just better at hiding it!

An excellent observation

"Besides, he poured so much down his own throat he knew the good of it" XD
Rex Harrison was so well cast. I love how Prof. Higgins puts the cup of tea on his head when Eliza gets her pronunciation and diction so horribly wrong.
Zoë Harmar - Her pronunciation and diction were fine. It was the content and grammar that was amiss.

She was putting street slang in a proper English accent. That is what the doctor was surprised and upset by. That is why it is comical.

Edit: OH MY GOSH it is!!!
But this fashion: it looks absolutely unpractical, but I also absolutely adore it 😍 just her dress is so stunning and elegant
The Acting on fleek.
I am this version of Eliza anytime I attempt to make a small talk. Aye, small talk is the devil's handcraft. Better stay quiet and pretty.
I’ve just realised I’ve been saying “whatever does it mean,” regularly since a fell in love with this film 30 years ago. Gosh.
This is the funniest film scene ever!
