A Professor of Misogyny takes advantage of a young woman and turns her into something she isn't. It's similar to the treatment forced on those whose sexual orientation didn't conform to the views of the 'holier than thou', and therein lies the paradox, with the prof and his colonel chum. Weighing in at an almighty 170 minutes, you can remove Eliza's father from the scene as he adds nothing to the story, excepting a song about the imminent demise of an individuals freedom. Nothing wrong with Eliza's aspirations and Audrey Hepburn is delightful, although it was education not enunciation she needed and, after twenty years without a bath, delicing, steroids and some powerful antibiotics. How about - My Equality Lady, now wouldn't that be luverly.
