It goes on forever in that awful, fake every-day movement faux-folk style. You could easily take 20 minutes out of the movie by chopping the third and fourth choreographic repetitions in each music sequence.<br /><br />I love Audrey. The play, Pygmalian, had a different ending, where Eliza doesn't knuckle under and become Higgin's wife/lover, but remains his equal and challenger. (Apparently, many thought that had more intellectual than emotional appeal).<br /><br />As for the Freddy romance, I love watching that now, trying to discern the wonderful later PBS Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) as a youthful song and dance man.adrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-87650437581204320942009-05-06T12:30:00.000-04:002009-05-06T12:30:00.000-04:00Thank you immensely for these pictures, Nathaniel!...Thank you immensely for these pictures, Nathaniel!

No big kiss in the rain like Tiffany's but the way she's standing behind him, watching him, and that look on his face of surprise and relief and happiness when he realizes she's there... oh, it's so touching!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434212190549307864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-69721572964342646732009-05-06T08:25:00.000-04:002009-05-06T08:25:00.000-04:00Fernando -- i prefer Audrey as well.
