Is it impossible to take a girl on the street, one with atrocious grammar and no manners and turn her into an absolute lady—in a matter of weeks? Phonetics  professor Henry Higgins is up to a challenge in the 1964 film, "My Fair Lady" starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a digitally restored theatrical release in select theaters across the nation that started October 18.

The movie version of the play originally starring Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison, focuses on Eliza Doolittle (Hepburn), a poor, Cockney flower seller who becomes the object of Higgins' (Harrison) bet that he can make her a "lady" by high society Edwardian London standards or even sound like a duchess. "My Fair Lady" won eight Academy Awards.

"My Fair Lady" was digitally remastered for HD in 2011 but Robert A. Harris, who led a team to remaster the film was less then satisfied with the final results saying it was "the worst Blu-ray of 2011." Ouch. Luckily he got the chance to redo the movie, a process that took six months of editing out approximately 12 million glitches like splices, scratches, tears and even dust. The movie also had its color enhanced; since 50 years had gone by it was looking a little dark.

The movie will be available Oct.27 on a Blu-ray and DVD combo for $36 and to find a theater that will be showing "MyFair Lady," go to myfairlady50.com for more information.
