He decides to teach her to speak like an upper class lady but things don't happen exactly as he plans ...This wonderful story was first a play called Pygmalion by the famous writer George Bernard Shaw. It was made into a musical, perhaps the best-known of all, and then a film starring Audrey Hepburn.
