Thank you, Rocky. And I liked "My Fair Lady" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Fair_Lady_(film ) when I was ten years old AFAICR (IISCRP). There was also here a very good Russian (Soviet) film "Pygmalion": http://www.kino-teatr.ru/teatr/movie/8787/annot/ I have never seen this one " PYGMALION (1938)" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmdPj_XbF30 - I will try to watch it over this weekend and I will try to get my son to watch it too. -- Shamil Суббота, 26 января 2013, 8:11 -08:00 от "Rocky Smolin" <rockysmolin at bchacc.com>: >We went to see a staging of Shaw's Pygmalion last night - its the centennial >of the play.
