Set Contains:
The chief attraction of the two-disc edition of
My Fair Lady is a 58-minute documentary made in 1994 in conjunction with the films undergoing a major sound and picture restoration for theatrical rerelease. Hosted by Jeremy Brett (who played Freddy Eynsford-Hill and later went on to fame as Sherlock Holmes), the documentary discusses the restoration, the musicals stage beginnings, voice dubbing, costume design, and other topics. Because the heavy restoration lifting was done in 1994, the
original DVD release looked and sounded marvelous and the new edition looks and sounds marvelous too; a new high-definition transfer doesnt add all that much. The bonus features from the previous DVD have been retained--a commentary track, a vintage featurette, and two songs with Audrey Hepburns original vocal tracks--and supplemented by black-and-white footage of a 1963 "production kickoff" dinner and the L. A. premiere, an audio clip of George Cukor directing the actors, and various sketches, stills, posters, and other memorabilia.
