Divine inspiration returns Michelangelo to the mural, but his artistic vision clashes with the pope’s demanding personality and threatens the success of the historic painting.

Song lyrics to An Ordinary Man, Music by Frederick Loewe, Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, sung by Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady Colonel Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White): Higgins, forgive the bluntness,But if I’m to be…
In My Fair Lady, pompous phonetics professor Henry Higgins transforms Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney working-class girl into a cultured member of high society. But what then?
I have listened and dreamed,
While the moon has glistened
And a million stars
Have gleamed …
Waiting!
Doctor Dolittle: Waiting?
Emma: How you can stand there
And say what you’re saying,
I just don’t know!
I must admit
The Sahara is one place
I’m praying
We just won’t go!
Doctor Dolittle: I … I do not understand the human race,
That has so little love
For creatures with a different face.
Treating animals like people
Is no madness or disgrace.
I do not understand the human race.
Doctor Dolittle: When i look in your eyes,
I see the wisdom of the world
In your eyes.
I see the sadness
Of a thousand goodbyes
When i look in your eyes.
Doctor Dolittle: The day that i became a veterinarian,
I had a sudden overwhelming wish
To be a pure and simple vegetarian –
And give up eating all that meat and fish.
