Pygmalion vs My fair lady

…is more enjoyable than its 1964 movie adaptation. This is so because the character Eliza Doolittle is glamorized too much in the film version; while the play exhibits both a more realistic and broader version of the flower girl. The songs, instead of making the actions more lively or clear, are rather irrelevant, long and dull. Still, as an alternative experience after reading the book, I think you cannot lose anything by watching it once.-
