DS, twelve pages, 8.5 x 13, July 30, 1962. Contract between George Cukor, Warner Bros., and G-D-C Enterprises for Cukor's services as "Director, in connection with the preparation and production of the motion picture photoplay…tentatively entitled 'My Fair Lady.'" The contract outlines the specifics of the agreement, including its term, remuneration, rights, and responsibilities: for example, under this agreement, Cukor "shall edit the first rough cut of the photoplay." Signed twice at the conclusion in fountain pen by Cukor (one struck through), and countersigned by Elsa Schroeder of G-D-C Enterprises and A. J. Obringer of Warner Bros. In fine condition.
A musical comedy-drama based on George Bernard Shaw's stage play Pygmalion, My Fair Lady stars Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle and Rex Harrison as Professor Henry Higgins. A critical and commercial success, it became the second highest-grossing film of 1964 and won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor—it was Cukor's first Oscar, after four previous nominations.
