Nominated for a best Picture Academy Award, and won one for Best Screenplay (Written by famed playwright George Bernard Shaw and adapted by Ian Dalrymple). Also, the play was later remade as My Fair Lady, which also won several Oscars. Stars Oscar-winning actors Leslie Howard and Dam Wendy Hiller. NOTE: Contains profanity.
