This movie is the only Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe stage musical to have been filmed totally complete, with no omission of any songs from the stage version (or dialogue, for that matter). There are even some added lyrics to the song "You Did It", in which Professor Henry Higgins goes more into detail about the speech "expert" Zoltan Karpathy's evaluation of Eliza Doolittle at the ball, that were not in the stage version. This movie, West Side Story (1961), and South Pacific (1958) may be the most complete movie adaptations of Broadway musicals ever made.
