This film is the first film adaptation of the play by Bernard Show about the transformation of the vulgar flower grinder Eliza Dutylittl into the exquisite social lady under the strict leadership of the professor of phonetics Henry Higgins and Colonel Pikering. Bernard Show wrote his play under the inspiration of the ancient Greek myth of the sculptor Pygmalion, who created the statue of Galatea - the girls before the beautiful that he fell in love with her and began to ask Aphrodite to revive his creation. The goddess of love breathed life into Galatea, and Pygmalion married her.
