Film7.5KomediRomantikProf. Higgins, yağmurlu bir gecede, Londra Covent Garden'daki operadan çıkan kalabalığın arasında çiçek satan, ağzı bozuk Eliza Doolittle'a rastlar. Hırçın ve kaba davranışlarıyla etrafa sataşmaktan kendini alamayan muzip genç kız, sadece argo değil, üstelik berbat bir aksanla da konuşmaktadır. Higgins, kendisi gibi bir dil bilimci olan dostu Albay Pickering ile bir bahse girer: Eliza üstüne para alarak profesörün evinde kalacak ve diksiyon kursları alacaktır. Higgins, genç kızı tamamen yola getireceğine ve Eliza'nın bir süre sonra gerçek bir hanımefendiden ayırt edilemeyeceğini iddia etmektedir. Bernard Shaw'ın 1912 tarihli oyunu Pygmalion'dan uyarlanan ve Broadway'de 1956-62 yılları arasında büyük sükse yapan My Fair Lady'nin başarısı, sahne müzikalini uyarlayan Alan Jay Lerner'in film yönetmeni George Cukor'la işbirliğini doğurdu. Eliza rolünün kariyerinin zirvesindeki Audrey Hepburn'e verilmesiyle de sinema tarihinin zafer anlarından biri tescillenmiş oldu.

The series was inspired by the 1950 film Wagon Master directed by John Ford and starring Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr. and Ward Bond, and harkens back to the early widescreen wagon train epic The Big Trail starring John Wayne and featuring Bond in his first major screen appearance playing a supporting role. Horton's buckskin outfit as the scout in the first season of the television series resembles Wayne's, who also played the wagon train's scout in the earlier film.
