Good. In this day and age, you could imagine how lousy the story would have been if re-told by the "woke" liberal idiots in Hollywood right now. They'd have Eliza be African American, join a feminazi group when she got tired of being yelled at for talking like a squawking parrot, and have Henry Higgins strung up by the nards in the name of "fighting toxic masculinity." Henry's mother would have been cheering them on too. Oh, even better, the costumes would have been as shitty as they were in "The Greatest Showman;" a clashing mix of modern retro clothes very poorly mixed with Edwardian styles.
