Audrey Hepburn got the part, but though her performance was admirable, her cockney character lacked the wondrous snippety snarl that Julie had given the role; Eliza's singing, moreover, was largely a product of outside dubbing, and short of Julie's performance at that.

British Book Publisher Peter Wolfe ordered soup in an Italian restaurant, and the waiter served it with his thumb in it. Wordlessly sending it back, Wolfe wished he had had enough Italian to call the waiter "a dribbling, senile fool!" or at least snarl at him: "Tolga il suo sudicio dito dalla minestra!" (Get your dirty thumb out of the soup...
