Film version of the Pygmalion myth, inspired by the homonymous play by Irish writer G.B. Shaw (1856-1950). The snobby eccentric linguist Henry Higgins's vulgar language arouses so much the interest of the eccentric and linguist Henry Higgins that he makes a risky bet: he agrees to pass her off as a lady of high society within six months.
