 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.
