Pygmalion (1938)
El profesor Higgins, especialista en fonética, conoce casuamente a Elisa, una vendedora de flores, y la vulgaridad e incorrección de su lenguaje despierta extraordinariamente su interés. Toma entonces la decisión de realizar un experimento con ella: la convertirá en una respetable dama de la alta sociedad. Pero el trato que Higgins dispensa a Elisa no es muy considerado: al profesor sólo le preocupa la dicción, el perfeccionamiento de la voz y los exquisitos modales adquiridos por Elisa. Adaptación de la obra de teatro homónima de Bernard Shaw, en la que también se inspiró "My Fair Lady"
