In a very, very loose sense it is based on the Greek legend of Pygmalion which dealt with a statue brought to life by Venus to please a love-frustrated sculptor. There are some tie-ins with the more- indeed serious and tragic novel Svengali, where a hypnotist effectively brainwashes a singer- and cons her into being his love- but they really don"t get along- as stated unlike ( MFL) it ends tragiclally. the Title of the Lerner & Loewe show is, of course borrowed from the Nursery rhyme about London Bridge, which, by the way no longer exists- portions of it were relocated to Arizona in the early seventies.
