Film Screening – My Fair Lady

We are screening this classic musical to coincide with Heritage Open Days and to celebrate a St Helens Legend. George Groves was born in Duke St and by the time of his retirement he had risen to the Head of Sound at Warner Brothers in Hollywood. He was a pioneer who helped bring sound to the screen during the 1920’s and worked with many Hollywood Legends during his career. One of the Oscars that George’s Dept won was for ‘My Fair Lady’ in 1965.
Adapted from Lerner and Loewe's 1956 stage musical based on George Bernard Shaw's 1913 stage play Pygmalion. With a screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner and directed by George Cukor.

It became the second-highest-grossing film of 1964, after Mary Poppins, and won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor and of course, Best Sound Mixing for George Groves and the Sound Dept at Warner Brothers.

The film starred Rex Harrison, Audrey Hepburn, Stanley Holloway and Wilfred Hyde-White. It’s cast also included Jeremy Brett who later brought Sherlock Holmes to the screen, in what a lot of people consider the quintessential Holmes performance.

Come and join us as we celebrate George Groves and see this classic musical on the big screen.
