litlover12I saw My Fair Lady on the big screen last night. I love that we have so many options to do that sort of thing now. I've now seen five of my top 10 movies at the movie theater, which is quite something considering that nine of them were made before I was born!
You see so much more detail on the big screen, especially in a movie as gloriously detailed as MFL. I've seen it literally dozens of times and I was still catching new things. (Did you know that Higgins's slippers are monogrammed?) It helped that there was a really cool, in-depth trailer from 1964 that ran right before it, with lots of footage of costume designing and fitting and other behind-the-scenes stuff. I paid a lot more attention to all the costumes than ever before! It was incredible to think of all the work that went into even the extras' outfits, just to get the general look right!
