Higgins’ replay is also a reason for difference: after him to be plunged into a deep sorrow and realizing the Eliza’s return, as it could be predicted in her nipping out, he tries to recover his usual living impassive image, but when he hides his face behind his hat, he leads us into the doubt if he tries to show indifference or is pouting. The fact itself of her return to Higgins as a Lady indeed reveals a great account of sentimentalism in this version. Moreover, we have to pay special attention to the scene in which she comes back in Wimpole Street. Therefore, feelings developed by Eliza are clearly expressed in My Fair Lady. That’s perfectly reflected at the end of the work. But if we want to point out a clear difference for them we have to focus on the romance that in Pygmalion is avoided for the benefit of the real conflict and in My Fair Lady it is pretended for people to be interested in. Some of the omitted scenes in Pygmalion – as the ball or the learning – makes My Fair Lady be more expressive and dynamic, as it usually occurs when the writing is performed. We even consider some of these ideas as revolutionary ones spread on the works. With regard to the musical, songs are the vehicle for the actors’ ideas and feelings to take place in an open way to. Some of them are because of actors performing the characters and stressing on roles beyond the work to perform, or due to the several scenes to get it dynamic. Although My Fair Lady is based on Pygmalion there are some differences between both works. In many cases, directors strive to keep their screenplay adaptations true to the original literature however, viewers often find contrasts in certain areas of the film. Through the years, countless film directors have adapted and recreated various novels and plays to make them ideal for the big-screen.
