    George Bernard Shaw’s play "Pygmalion" made it to Broadway in 1914, and was filmed in 1938. Lerner & Lowe kept much of the dialogue of the orginal but added songs and gave the film a new name. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1956 and made Julie Andrew a star. She was not held over for the film version but Rex Harrison marvelously was.
