3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: My Fair Lady (1964)?
a.
When the movie was released in Italy, instead of translating the spelling of "Troy" to the Italian/Latin equivalent (Troia), the original title was kept because. "Troia" is vulgar Italian for "sow", but is more often used for "prostitute" (it probably derives from an ancient roman dish, the "porcus troianus" or "Trojan pig", a pig stuffed with other cooked animals, a humorous reference to the Trojan horse).
b.
Wil Wheaton
was considered to play Andy Barclay.
c.
George Bernard Shaw
adamantly opposed any notion that Higgins and Eliza had fallen in love and would marry at the end of the play, as he felt it would betray the character of Eliza who, as in the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, would "come to life" and emancipate herself from the male domination of Higgins and her father. He even went so far as to include a lengthy essay to be published with copies of the script explaining precisely why Higgins and Eliza would never marry, and what "actually happened" after the curtain fell: Eliza married Freddy and opened a flower shop with funds from Colonel Pickering. Moreover, as Shaw biographers have noted, Higgins is meant to be an analogue of the playwright himself, thus suggesting Higgins was actually a homosexual. Under heavy pressure from producers, for the 1938 film version of "Pygmalion", Shaw wrote a compromise ending, in which Eliza and Higgins reconcile, but Eliza still leaves to marry Freddy. This was later changed without Shaws knowledge or permission to a conclusion in which Eliza returns to Higgins and supposedly marries him; it is that ending that is used in "My Fair Lady."
d.
The film is a complete spin off the original movies. There no mention of Macualay Culkins character or mention of his family, The MacAllisters.

was suffering a lull in his career when offered the part of Dr. King. Even so he made it a condition that he receive top billing, which rightfully belonged to the movies star
Eleanor Parker
, or he wouldnt do the part. Ms. Parker says she always cared more about the projects than the billing, but this is one time she regrets giving in because she very much wanted the credit as star of the picture. She also says that Mr. Ford shamelessly tried to upstage her at every chance by walking away from her, and the camera, forcing her to turn her back to the camera to interact with him.
c.
The title is derived from saying "Mayfair Lady" in a cockney accent.

Around 100 different copies of Roses outfit were made. It started out with soft summery colors and as the movie progressed it became grayer and eventually blood red. The change in the outfits were so subtle that it was barely noticeable.
c.
A Jewel Production. Universal did not own a theater chain and devised a 3-tiered branding system to sell its product: Red Feather (low budget programmers), Bluebird (mainstream releases) and Jewel (big budget prestige pictures designed to command higher roadshow ticket prices). This marketing system would fade away by the end of 1929.
d.
Most roadshow film presentations made at that time had an overture recorded especially for the film, meant to be heard while the lights in the theater were still up and the movie screen curtains were still closed. Then, at the end of the overture, the lights would go down and the film would start with what was known as its Main Title music. The overture to the stage version of "My Fair Lady" was longer than the films opening credits, but Lerner and Loewe apparently still wanted to use it. So, rather than using the typical roadshow format of Overture and Main Title music to get around this, the filmmakers shot the film so that half of the Overture is heard against shots of flowers appearing on the screen; then halfway through the Overture, the lights go down and the opening credits begin.
