An Original 1965 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" [14 x 20 cm]) (Learn More) My Fair Lady, the classic 1964 George Cukor (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) England romantic love triangle rich-educated-man/poor-flower-girl musical ("The most loverly motion picture event of all!......"; "Based upon the play 'My Fair Lady'"; "From the play by Bernard Shaw"; adapted from the hit Broadway play by Lerner and Loewe, which itself was adapted from George Bernard Shaw's non-musical "Pygmalion"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Audrey Hepburn (as Eliza Doolittle), Rex Harrison (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Henry Higgins), Stanley Holloway (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Alfred Doolittle), Wilfrid Hyde-White (as Colonel Pickering), Gladys Cooper (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Jeremy Brett (as Freddy Eynsford-Hill), and Theodore Bikel. Of course, the making of this movie was the center of a major controversy! When Hollywood went to make this movie adaptation of this hit play in 1964 (after it completed its Broadway run, where Julie Andrews had played Eliza Doolittle), they were fine with retaining the lead stars of the stage production EXCEPT for Julie Andrews, because she wasn't a big enough "name"! They replaced her with Audrey Hepburn, which was especially surprising, given that Miss Hepburn could not sing the part, and Marni Nixon was brought in to sing the songs for her (but that was uncredited and carefully kept under wraps, and Miss Nixon was not allowed to admit to it!). This was very unfortunate for Julie Andrews, but in an unusual twist of fate, she made Mary Poppins that year, and, while My Fair Lady swept the top Oscars with the Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor awards, Miss Andrews won the Best Actress award over Miss Hepburn (who wasn't even nominated!)!

Important Added Info: Note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Note that we are currently offering a collection of 316 Spanish heralds, and this is far and away the best collection of these we have ever offered! It covers many decades and genres with many very popular titles. Please note that Spanish heralds sometimes are found with theater information on the back, and sometimes they are not printed on the back. Sometimes the ones with printing on the back have some "bleed through" to the front, especially in the light colored areas. If one of these heralds have noticeable bleed through, then we downgrade the condition (depending on how distracting or noticeable it is) even if the herald is otherwise in excellent condition (and it may be that all known examples of that herald have printing on the back, so it may only be found that way). Please look at our super-sized image of heralds that have printing on the back to see how much it affects the front (if at all). When you look at the super-sized image, you may notice that the image appears somewhat "blurry". This is because we are taking a small herald and blowing up the image so that you can see the condition, but in the process, the image can become slightly distorted or blurry, so please realize that this is only the image, and not the herald itself. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
