Mrs. Higgin's Parlourmaid
Этот фильм - первая экранизация пьесы Бернарда Шоу о превращении вульгарной цветочницы Элизы Дулиттл в изысканную светскую даму под чутким руководством профессора фонетики Генри Хиггинса и полковника Пикеринга. Бернард Шоу написал свою пьесу под вдохновением древнегреческого мифа о скульпторе Пигмалионе, который создал статую Галатеи — девушки до того прекрасной, что он влюбился в нее и стал просить Афродиту оживить свое создание. Богиня любви вдохнула жизнь в Галатею, и Пигмалион женился на ней.
