The Germans would make a Pygmalion in 1935; and the English would follow suit in 1938. But inbetween came the Dutch version. Professor Higgins teaches phonetics and gets off on observing other people's linguistic peculiarities; and the flower seller Liesje Doeluttel is no exception. One could say that Professor Higgins really knows how to put the "pig" in Pygmalion: he thinks it'd be grant to turn the lowly creature into a human guinea pig. He intends to make her into a real "lady", who'll be able to pass off as such in high society. No one is to guess that she's really one of the downtrodden in the filthy gutters. 

DVD-R is in Dutch with hard-encoded English subtitles. Approx. 93 mins. See film sample for audio and video quality!
