Thank goodness for You Tube that we can preserve a portion of this performance for the ages ! Bravo Julie !!
Imagine having such a natural and effortless supreme talent for a role that you can perform as yourself on screen as if you were having to learn to portray the character. 🤯
OMG, it's Higgins in reverse, she's learning the cockney accent!
Lol that is exactly what I thought. I am so happy this is even here. I feel lucky I get to see it. :)
That’s how she described it in an interview once! Incredible
she's "learning" it...Imaging being such a natural for a role you can portray yourself as if you were learning the character
If I could go back in time and see one Broadway play, My Fair Lady would be it.
Gives me shivers just watching it. My goodness how did she not win the Tony?!?!
Thank you for giving us this amazing gem
Our pleasure!
@@TheJulieAndrewsArchive This video was PURE SOLID GOLD. I felt like I was watching Thomas Edison make the first audio recordings of a human voice. Yes, I know it was staged, but this was staged four years before the film came out. It's almost like watching history before the history was made.
This song is one of my fav 😂 just you wai' enry iggins, she is Unique ❤️ love her for eternity 💕
I m finishing her second autobiography… great to link this video and her books.
Love you so much Julie...
An amazing gem this video is...just as captivating as the play/ film itself...thanks for sharing 💯💯💯
Thank you so much for all these beautiful videos of Julie. She is so amazing ❤
The two plays I wish I had seen are:
MY FAIR LADY w/ Julie Andrews
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE w/ Marlon Brando
Totally agree, Vivien Leigh and Julie Andrews were bloody, brilliant and british💜💙🖤
@@Hannah-cy9th Vivien Leigh's personal favorite performance was in WATERLOO BRIDGE(1940)
At least we got to see Brando do the movie version. Andrews not getting the part for the movie version was a travesty.
@@shaunmcdonough9016 Double travesty given they gave the role to Audrey Hepburn and weren't happy so they dubbed her singing with Marni Nixon.
But then again, if Julie HAD been given the role... we wouldn't have Sound of Music.
@@ChibiHoshiDragon or Mary Poppins.
Wow, this may come as close as anything we are likely to find, to re-creating the performance of this pivotal and iconic number as Broadway and West End audiences saw it. I guess we'd have to ask Julie if she really used a chair as a prop and sat down, if she rubbed her stomach, mimed the Professor going underwater etc. More than half of Broadway's history is gone forever. Nobody has a UA-cam of the stage version of Showboat, or Carousel, or Guys and Dolls. It would be nice if Andrews took a look at this for authenticity's sake to see of liberties were taken during this recreation of a 'rehearsal"
It's a shame nobody thought to film all those old productions so they'd been able to be seen forever. I suspect people just figured they were putting on a show that would run and then be done and nobody would be still talking about them 60+ years later.
In my opinion, Eliza Doolittle is a MUSICAL role. Everything stems from the music. While Audrey may have been lovely to look at, especially in the fancy ball gowns, her performance can’t be deemed authentic. It would be like attending a Packers game with Rodgers on the field, but with a backup quarterback to throw the ball. Being dubbed in a musical role, which was common in Hollywood, is delivering half a performance.
Eliza Doolittle is most certainly a musical role -- But I do reckon Audrey has the proper sass for her! It was a brilliant performance to watch especially alongside Rex Harrison.
(I know nothing of the sport you mention - nor the players. To me, Rodgers was a composer!)
Julie was tall and posh - just listen to her here, for example; Audrey was perhaps more believable in the close-ups demanded by film as a waif flower-girl. (Though presumably she had to learn cockney too!)
(By the way: I'm a great Julie fan. As actress, singer, dancer, and just nice person.)
JULIE ANDREWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRILLIANT STAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
once in a lifetime kind of talent, simply mesmerizing
... I Love Julie!
I've just discovered your channel. Thank you so much for this! Really "loverly"!
Stunning x
Beautiful. I love her
Heavens. It's like its own production. Analogous to Kiss Me Kate and Taming Of The Shrew.
Poor Julie. It sounds like she had to deal with the real life Professor Higgins.
Staged for tv. Not reality
seems to me she was such a natural she had to act as if she was having to learn the part in this...astonishing talent, like playing a role within a role. also note the quotation marks in the title around "Rehearsal"
@@moimeme6533 didn’t think of it that way.
@@Leamichellefan2244 well guess it's subtly implied but from the title and moreover the performances within the vid itself that appears to be the case.
@@moimeme6533 yeah, I know.
Loverly!!!
So wonderful (and not at all "staged") Dame Julie is magnificent!
She has the cutest nose ever
Well? Out with it luv. Where's the rest of it?
Please, where can i find a full version?
Thanks.❤
May I ask where can I watch the The fabulous fifties docu?
I'm so glad Henry Fonda was in this video
Henry Fonda?
Would have loved to see her in Streetcar. . . A completely different role for her. Played the wife, I’m sure. Can’t see her as Blanche DuBois😆
Such a shame she wasn’t given the film role.
But if she would have, she wouldn’t have gotten the role of Mary Poppins.
She even thanked Jack Warner for not casting her.
The Julie Andrews Archive I didn’t realize that. Thank you for the info.
She is being asked that question quite a lot. But she’s always said that she understood their decision to not cast her. And she couldn’t knock it because she did get to play Mary Poppins. But she does wish she would have had a chance to record it for her family to look back on.
She was a lowsy actress that was the problem. Audrey Hapburn was much better. But Audrey is a lovely lady.
@@jeanpierredevos3137 I... uh... no...
To determine who is a "better actress" by listing various awards nominations and wins is beyond ridiculous and petty. JeanPierre clearly does not like Julie Andrews, so why is he/she visiting the Julie Andrews Archive? Beyond ridiculous.
Julie got screwed royally.
And of course the jerk Jack Warner didn't give her the movie.Rex Harrison could gave refused the movie without his broadway co-star of many years, but he was an even bigger jerk.
Why
Actually Julie fitted best in more controlled roles, I like Audrey in the movie because she was more mobile and you could see she threw her heart into it. She carried the movie delightfully and Rex Harrison really seemed to crow over her fittingly in the part- something that's hard for me to believe with Julie somehow.
Sorry, but Jack Warner was no jerk. He was an exceptionally experienced and successful studio boss and producer - and businessman - casting Audrey Hepburn rather than Julie Andrews in My Fair Lady was simply a business decision. He knew that he had to have a well established and popular movie star in the Eliza role, one well known to, even loved by, the movie-going public. Such stars help significantly to get people to part with their money at the box office, and the wonderful Audrey Hepburn was one such star, whereas our fabulous Julie (and there's no greater admirer than me), was not in that position at the time of casting My Fair Lady - although of course she very soon was in that position! By then she was a big star of the stage in New York and London, yes, feted there by theatre-going audiences who fully appreciated her extraordinary talent, but she simply was not known to the much wider public, the millions of movie-goers around the western world - those who pay to go to the movies - and Jack Warner recognised this and acted upon it accordingly.
Also, I've seen somewhere here among UA-cam comments someone saying that Julie Andrews is THE definitive Eliza Doolittle and on that basis should have been cast in the film. Well yes she is the definitive Eliza, to those of us (many, many fans, globally), who know her story and her work well. She was the original Eliza on stage and defined the role indeed, to us, and to those who knew her theatre work back then in the 'fifties and early 'sixties. But not to the great many more at that time who did not know her. Warner had to do what he did, and it worked out well as has often been said: Hepburn was terrific as Eliza, although as we all know she was dubbed for the singing, and Andrews got to be Mary Poppins which otherwise wouldn't have happened. Think about that, what if Julie Andrews had NOT been Mary Poppins..? For me that doesn't bear thinking about!
Then Rex would’ve lost the job too
@@Gilbetus Actually in this case he was indeed a jerk who cared more about money than art. Sometimes you have to put art before money although the big studio heads like Warner never did. There was much good due to the studio system. Actors often don't know what roles they are best for and studio heads often made sure they were in the right roles. But when you know someone is perfect for a role, you have to gamble a bit. We wound up with a very flawed film because Audrey Hepburn (and I love Audrey Hepburn, she is one of my favorite actresses of all time) didn't sing her part. If they thought Audrey was capable of singing the part, that would have been another matter. But they shouldn't have cast her if they were going to have Marni Nixon sing the role. It's a musical for god's sake.
I like Audrey Hepburn's Eliza much more.
Interesting. A very rarely held view. To each his own. But I like my musical stars to actually sing.
The only problem with Audrey Hepburn performance is the singing in that role. I think there’s only one song with her actual vocals on it and it sucks that she was dubbed the entire filmed. If Julie had taken the role in the movie, sometimes I wonder if she would’ve had had time for Mary poppins and that film would’ve been completely different to what we know, with a different actress
Stunning acting performance by AH but JA could have easily matched or exceeded it IMO and obvi exceeded the vocals by Marni Nixon (who was outstanding in her own right IMO)
I think she needs to clap harder at the end.
Too bad Dick van Dyke didn't use that voice coach.
This guy is dreadful. It's as though he learned by watching Dick Van Dyke (yes, I know "Mary Poppins" hadn't been filmed yet). I don't understand how woefully ignorant actors are able to hold themselves out as dialogue coaches. I have an English friend, trained at The Old Vic with Laurence Olivier, who teaches British actors how to sound American. Except she doesn't sound remotely American - there are many American accents, and hers isn't any of them.
As an acties Audrey Hepnurn was mutch better..
Julie was an all-round performer.
@kiranjit rana I must admit after some New films she acted well. To bad that she never got a major role in a major film after the sound of music.
@kiranjit rana But I always found it so said that she made two world famous and ever lasting films at the beginning of her life. And that was it. Ofcourse she had a fantastic Broadway career but in every interview she is always talking about
An Oscar and a Golden Globe are pretty good compensation, beating the "better" actress.
ARE YOU JOKING?!?! come on, that's JULIE ANDREWS, practically royalty! she didn't win Grammys, oscars, golden globes, and more for nothing!
