This autumn, f22 foto space is delighted to present the My Fair Lady group exhibition, an intimate journey discovering the production of the much-loved movie starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison in 1964.
Featuring the rare behind-the-scene images of My Fair Lady, this photo exhibition gives an insider look into the filmmaking process of the award-winning movie, revealing the technical aspects, creative decisions and interesting anecdotes behind one of the most successful adaptions in Hollywood.
Originally a romance in five acts titled Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw in 1913, the play gained its fame as a motion picture in 1938 and later as a Broadway stage musical with songs written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. The plot depicts Eliza Doolittle’s transformation from a cockney flower girl to an elegant lady in high society at the hands of Prof Henry Higgins, a snobbish phonetics professor. The romantic comedy explores the theme of intelligence, love and the class system with sharp conversations surrounding Eliza’s growth and emotional struggles, and how she finally became a confident woman set free to realize her potential.
