The 1960s was the last true decade of the Hollywood musical. Yes, there were others since ... however, they were few and far between. And in 1964, the third of that genre to win Best Picture in those ten years was the huge box office smash hit, and film adaptation of the Broadway hit, My Fair Lady. This Rex Harrison/Audrey Hepburn film was loved by pretty much everyone who saw it. The songs, the costumes, the sets, and the beauty of Hepburn were reasons enough for this film to continue to be loved over six decades later. However, in retrospect, does this George Cukor-directed Oscar-winning film still deserve to hold the title of best film of 1964?
Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about My Fair Lady, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1964.
