Creepiness of the plot from a 21st century perspective aside, it has also always squicked me out that Hepburn's 21 year old character falls for Higgins who is pushing 60. Not the first or only time by far the May-December romance is seen on film, but Higgins is portrayed as cranky and crotchety which makes him feel even older. Yuck. And yes, not only can I not stand Rex Harrison's sing-talking, Eliza's screeching throughout the first half of the movie is like nails on a chalkboard. And poor Ryan has to hear about all of it every time he tries to watch this movie. Sorry, Ryan.mcsteanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340293646440856741noreply@blogger.com
