Argentina offers a product at 9 cents; American producers ask 23 cents; the navy begins to buy from Argentina. Obviously a subversive and un-American transaction. . . standard of living doomed . . .

...addition to the mountain of ballyhoo released about G.B. S's movie debut would be worse than futile, but taking "Pygmalion" alone, and shaving off the fringe of grey whiskers, the finished product is a very engaging and witty comedy.
