Act I
In Edwardian London, Eliza Doolittle is a flower girl with a thick Cockney accent. The noted phonetician Professor Henry Higgins encounters Eliza at Covent Garden and laments the vulgarity of her dialect ("Why Can't the English?"). Higgins also meets Colonel Pickering, another linguist, and invites him to stay as his houseguest. Eliza and her friends wonder what it would be like to live a comfortable life ("Wouldn't It Be Loverly?").
Eliza's father, Alfred P. Doolittle, stops by the next morning searching for money for a drink ("With a Little Bit of Luck"). Soon after, Eliza comes to Higgins's house, seeking elocution lessons so that she can get a job as an assistant in a florist's shop. Higgins wagers Pickering that, within six months, by teaching Eliza to speak properly, he will enable her to pass for a proper lady.
Eliza becomes part of Higgins's household. Though Higgins sees himself as a kindhearted man who merely cannot get along with women ("I'm an Ordinary Man"), to others he appears self-absorbed and misogynistic. Eliza endures Higgins's tyrannical speech tutoring. Frustrated, she dreams of different ways to kill him ("Just You Wait"). Higgins's servants lament the stressful atmosphere ("The Servants' Chorus").
Just as Higgins is about to give up on her, Eliza suddenly recites one of her diction exercises in perfect upper-class style ("The Rain in Spain"). Though Mrs Pearce, the housekeeper, insists that Eliza go to bed, she declares she is too excited to sleep ("I Could Have Danced All Night").
For her first public tryout, Higgins takes Eliza to his mother's box at Ascot Racecourse ("Ascot Gavotte"). Though Eliza shocks everyone when she forgets herself while watching a race and reverts to foul language, she does capture the heart of Freddy Eynsford-Hill. Freddy calls on Eliza that evening, and he declares that he will wait for her in the street outside Higgins' house ("On the Street Where You Live").
Eliza's final test requires her to pass as a lady at the Embassy Ball. After more weeks of preparation, she is ready. All the ladies and gentlemen at the ball admire her, and the Queen of Transylvania invites her to dance with the prince ("Embassy Waltz"). A Hungarian phonetician, Zoltan Karpathy, attempts to discover Eliza's origins. Higgins allows Karpathy to dance with Eliza.
Act II
The ball is a success; Karpathy has declared Eliza to be a Hungarian princess. Pickering and Higgins revel in their triumph ("You Did It"), failing to pay attention to Eliza. Eliza is insulted at receiving no credit for her success, packing up and leaving the Higgins house. As she leaves she finds Freddy, who begins to tell her how much he loves her, but she tells him that she has heard enough words; if he really loves her, he should show it ("Show Me").
Eliza and Freddy return to Covent Garden but she finds she no longer feels at home there. Her father is there as well, and he tells her that he has received a surprise bequest from an American millionaire, which has raised him to middle-class respectability, and now must marry his lover. Doolittle and his friends have one last spree before the wedding ("Get Me to the Church on Time").
Higgins awakens the next morning. He finds himself out of sorts without Eliza. He wonders why she left after the triumph at the ball and concludes that men (especially himself) are far superior to women ("A Hymn to Him"). Pickering notices the Professor's lack of consideration, and also leaves the Higgins house.
Higgins despondently visits his mother's house, where he finds Eliza. Eliza declares she no longer needs Higgins ("Without You"). As Higgins walks home, he realizes he's grown attached to Eliza ("I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face"). At home, he sentimentally reviews the recording he made the day Eliza first came to him for lessons, hearing his own harsh words. Eliza suddenly appears in his home. In suppressed joy at their reunion, Professor Higgins scoffs and asks, "Eliza, where the devil are my slippers?"

007别传:皇家夜总会 (1967) [电影] Min reol
Casino Royale
其它标题: Casino Royale / Casino Royale James Bond 007!
   男主角是已退休的邦德爵士,正在备感无聊之际,他以前的上司M被杀,邦德乃从伦敦前往苏格兰探访M的遗孀,不料遗孀却企图勾引他,失败之后跑去当修女。邦德继续追查凶手,接触了一群形形色色的间谍,最后在皇家夜总会展开大对决。   影片中众多的噱头普遍偏于老式,但片中可称精彩的部分还不算少,伍迪第一次出场从一个形成逃到另一个刑场的段落、东德拍卖小黄色照片的拍卖会、如果你喜欢看大场面,那最后一个大混战的场面也许你会满意——真正是一场“混战”。   影片拍摄时,正是肖恩·康纳利的007大行其道之时,于是就在四部正式的007之后,有了这部“无厘头”版的007。其实,影片也是根据007之父伊安·弗莱明的原著改编,而且是早在第一部007《NO博士》之前八年就有改编版本问世的,只不过那时候007还是个电视上的小字号。   毕竟是那个时代大制作的搞笑片,影片中很多小细节虽然“笑果”不算惊人,但都是如今搞笑片中不多见的大手笔,而片中对于007系列作品的戏仿却启发了后辈们很多同类作品。像老邦德见到自己的秘书玛番妮,拥抱接吻后才得知,她是原来秘书的女儿,那周星驰的《国产007》中的同样段落恐怕就不是原创了,诸如此类的东西还很多。不过,不能不说,这部豪华搞笑片中的笑料,不是缺乏幽默感,就是有点过于老式,如今看来稍嫌温吞。   影片最大的特色就是明星云集,单导演就有五位,其中最著名的就是大导演约翰·休斯敦,他甚至还客串了片中的短命鬼M。明星中,老邦德是老牌英国绅士大卫·尼文,赌博高手爱弗林是英国“千面人”彼得·塞勒斯,像魔术师一样极富魅力的老千高手就是大名鼎鼎的奥逊·威尔斯,再年轻的有刚刚出道的伍迪·艾伦,他从这个刑场逃到那个刑场的段落之让人想起周星驰刑场脱困的那一段,而他控制世界的大阴谋也有着典型的伍迪特色。所以,即使影片稍嫌落伍与时代,但这些大明星的风采还是颇值得一看的。
