I lay a lot of the fault at the feet of L&L (and Pascal for pressuring Shaw into an ending he hated) for giving a marvelous piece about class and a mutual respect that grows between two unlikely people a romcom ending. #TCMParty #MyFairLady

To say Jeremy Brett played Sherlock Holmes is an understatement. He became Sherlock Holmes. The definitive classic canon Holmes.

My mother was uncomfortably open about her attraction to Rex Harrison in #MyFairLady, so that has always given me some ambivalence about it. #TCMParty

How I love #MyFairLady. #TCMParty

In 2007 i saw Marni Nixon in Philadelphia in the #MyFairLady traveling company playing Mrs Higgins - the outrageous standing ovation she got as soon as she appeared onstage was incredible. #TCMParty #MyFairLady

I grew up in the 80s with my grandparents around most of the time, and #MyFairLady was definitely one of those “Once a year on TV” events where the whole family sat and watched together. An early example of “Sit down and be quiet because this is an Important Film™ family time“. #TCMParty

And #MyFairLady ends without Henry Higgins saying that he was in love with her. That makes it more effective! #MyFairLady #TCMParty

Here's a honorable mention to Marni Nixon, who did the partial singing voice for Audrey Hepburn in #MyFairLady. #TCMParty

How I wish #MyFairLady ended after that "Bravo, Eliza!" #TCMParty

“Remember Eliza, you danced with a Prince… and were treated like a Princess!” And then Freddy comes in from the back garden & Eliza runs into his arms while Mrs Higgins proclaims she’ll pay for their fabulous wedding & Henry isn’t to be invited because he’s a petulant child. #TCMParty #MyFairLady

I use addlepated fool, I need to get mutton-headed dolt into the rotation. #MyFairLady #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty

What films do you think he should won for? I wish he was nominated for #AStarIsBorn (1954) but there's no denying Elia Kazan rightfully won the Oscar that year. #TCMParty #MyFairLady

Flower girl or A Lady. Choose wisely girls. How you’re treated matters. Men don’t change unless their wearing a diaper. #MyFairLady #TCMParty

They are really all such excellent hits! 🎤 #tcmparty #MyFairLady

Get Me To The Church On Time! transports me immediately back in time to random errands with my grandmother who’d sing “I’m gettin’ married in the morning!” anytime we were doing anything in a slight rush 😅🎤🌹 #TCMParty #MyFairLady #StanleyHolloway

George Cukor deserved the Best Director Oscar at least half a dozen times before #MyFairLady, and to the extent that there’s a “quintessential Cukor film,” this probably isn’t it. But it’s his grandest and I’m so glad he finally won, at a fittingly later point in his career. #31DaysofOscar #TCMParty
