Yes, there was a film adaptation of "My Fair Lady" released in 1964, directed by George Cukor and starring Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle and Rex Harrison as Professor Henry Higgins. This film is based on the 1956 Broadway musical, which itself was adapted from George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion." While "My Fair Lady" is the most famous cinematic version, the original play "Pygmalion" was also adapted into a film in 1938.

What myth was My Fair Lady based on?

In Greek mythology, Pygmalion, the king of Cyprus, found so much fault in womankind that he resolved to live unmarried. But after painstakingly sculpting a statue of a beautiful woman that he named Galatea, he came to regard his creation as so perfect that he fell in love with her. In 1913, Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw adapted the myth to modern-day England and used his play about a phonetics professor's efforts to refine the speech and manner of a cockney flower girl for life among the gentry as a platform for social critique, demonstrating the artificiality of class distinctions in turn-of-the-century British society. My Fair Lady was based on the myth of Pygmalion. The play 'Pygmalion' by GB Shaw was made into the musical. In the myth Pygmalion was a Greek sculptor who fell in love with a beautiful sculpture he had made. He implored Aphrodite/Venus to make the sculpture alive, which she did.
