"My Fair Lady" was originally a musical song and dance drama adapted from the play "The Flower Girl" by the British dramatist Bernard Shaw. When the play was performed on Broadway, Julie Andrews Edwards played the role of Eliza. Warner Bros. Pictures decided to make "My Fair Lady" into a movie. In terms of actor selection, they decided to let Rex Harrison, who played the leading role of Professor Higgins in the stage play, continue to play Higgins, but they were hesitant to choose the heroine Eliza. As early as when filming "Tiffany's Breakfast", Audrey told reporters that her greatest wish was to play the role of Eliza in "My Fair Lady", and she got this role as she wished. Warner has hired a famous director in film and television industry, George Gu Ke, to direct Audrey to direct Audrey, so that Audrey can perform best so that the company's investment is more guaranteed.
