Added DiffLines:

* ExecutiveMeddling: Shaw refused to write an ending where Eliza returns to Higgins, so producer Gabriel Pascal and his team created this ending on their own without telling Shaw; the ending as filmed (and re-used in ''My Fair Lady'') includes only dialogue that was heard earlier in the film, thereby not violating Shaw's credit [[ExactWords "all dialogue by Bernard Shaw"]].

* DawsonCasting: A particularly ridiculous case: the original Eliza, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs._Patrick_Campbell Mrs. Patrick Campbell]], was ''forty-nine'' when she created the role.
