Actually, I can see this. Did you ever see "Pygmalion", the straight-on film of the G.B.Shaw play the musical was based on? It starred Wendy Hiller, a rather tall, strapping girl and a fine actress. Don't know how good Mary Martin was as an actress, but I think her look and her singing voice might have fit well.
