Very Fine+ Rolled & Folded; Artist Border Artwork by Bob Peak
Warner Bros., 1965

This is the complete and full set of Italian photobustas and larger folios for this classic musical. The double-size folios have the Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison portraits. In very nice condition with the folios showing some fold wear. The photobustas are rolled.

Adapted from the award-winning Lerner and Lowe musical, which was itself based on the 1913 stage play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, My Fair Lady is the story of Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison), a cultured master of phonetics, who bets a colleague that he can transform typical Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) into a high society lady by teaching her to speak correctly. A massive success both critically and commercially, it quickly became the highest-grossing film of 1964 (it was also the most expensive American film made to date, with a production budget of $17 million).

Estimate: $300 - 600
