The only filmed variation of Pygmalion that
entertains without bookishness or airs of greatness, and the most
humorous.
The typically adequate Paulette Goddard delivers a
surprisingly effective star turn, though occasionally over-the-top.
Eric Blore’s appearance is all too short – he’s at his bemused best.
Excellent contributions also from Cecil Kellaway, Patric Knowles,
Reginald Owen, Constance Collier and Ray Milland.
The Leisen touch [director Mitchell Leisen] strikes
again. A gorgeous production that merits a rigorous DVD restoration.
