Wouldn't it be loverly?!




What a brilliant scene, don't you think? This movie happens to be based on one of my most enjoyed plot lines i.e. the ugly duckling turned swan. That has indeed been done to death by the now but this remains one of the most appealing adaptations. And this movie also marks the beginning of my unwavering love for Audrey Hepburn when I first saw it around ten years ago. Tiffany's came later for me. :) In the (unlikely) circumstance that you don't love Hepburn already, this movie is highly recommended as the first for you. And if you're in the same club as me, what's better than to reminisce and enjoy!

("Henry: Mother!
Mrs. Higgins: What is it, Henry? What's happened?
Henry Higgins: She's gone.
Mrs. Higgins: Well, of course, dear, what did you expect?
Henry Higgins: What... what am I to do?
Mrs. Higgins: Do without, I suppose.

Henry Higgins: And so I shall! If the Higgins oxygen burns up her little lungs, let her seek some stuffiness that suits her. She's an owl sickened by a few days of my sunshine. Very well, let her go, I can do without her. I can do without anyone. I have my own soul! My own spark of divine fire!

Mrs. Higgins: Bravo, Eliza."
