The film was an enormous success of public and critics.
It was nominated for 11 categories and won 7 oscars: Best Picture, Director, Art Direction, Cinematography, Sound, Costumes and Best Actor (Rex Harrison).
The other nominations were: Best Screenplay (adaptation), Editing, and Best Supporting actor ( Stanley .Holloway) and actress (Gladys Cooper).
Audrey made an elegant and totally believable Eliza but came under attack for taking the role created by Julie Andrews on Broadway ( and lip-synching the songs while Marni Nixon provided the vocals). She was snubbed at Oscar time (and Julie Andrews' Oscar for Mary Poppins was more to console her of having lost Eliza than for the real merit of her ability as actress.)
Nonetheless the public loved Audrey's Eliza .

Gloriously witty adaptation of the Broadway musical about professor Henry Higgins (Harrison), who takes a bet that he can transform unrefined, dirty Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady and fool everyone into thinking she really is one too.
He does, but when he takes all the credit and forget to aknowledge her efforts, Eliza angrily leaves him for a young aristocrat who had fallen madly in love with her, and, suddenly, Higgins realizes he's grown accostumed to her face and can't really live without it.
It was based on the Shaw's play "Pygmalion"
