My Fair Lady (1964)

An original 1964 Warner Bros. Black and White Publicity Still #877-628, unframed.

Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle at Ascot, her first test in high society and the afternoon her cockney breaks through in front of the whole Royal Enclosure.

Cecil Beaton dressed the entire Ascot sequence in black and white, inspired by the "Black Ascot" of 1910, when society went to the races in mourning for Edward VII. Eliza's cry of "Move your bloomin' arse" was Lerner and Loewe's replacement for Shaw's "Not bloody likely", the line that scandalised London when Pygmalion opened in 1914. Few moments in the musical are as instantly recognisable as Hepburn's Eliza on this afternoon.
