A new restoration of “My Fair Lady” plays at Damariscotta’s Lincoln Theater for one day only, Friday, Oct. 23 with showings at 2 and 7 p.m.

Audrey Hepburn has never looked more radiant than as Eliza Doolittle who finds herself at the center of a friendly wager between Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) and his companion, Colonel Pickering (Wilfred Hyde-White).

Can this disheveled, cockney flower girl find her voice and blossom into a proper lady presentable in high society? Performance, style and sweet spirit, plus an unforgettable score, have made “My Fair Lady” one of the greatest musicals in film history and a beloved and timeless classic that begs to be experienced on the big screen.  

Prior to the film, “The Fairest Fair Lady,” a 10-minute theatrical trailer produced by Warner Bros. for the film’s original release, will be shown. “The Fairest Lady” takes a revealing and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the remarkable efforts that went into making “My Fair Lady.”

In honor of its 50th anniversary, this eight time Oscar-winning musical has been restored frame-by-frame from the original 65mm negative and scanned utilizing start-of-the-art technology under the supervision of Robert Harris, the famed film historian, known for his restoration of films “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Spartacus,” “Vertigo,” “Rear Window,” “The Godfather,” and others.

Don’t miss your chance to see this Academy Award Best Picture Winner starring film legend Audrey Hepburn as it is presented in spectacular ultra high-definition - it’s going to be loverly.

Suitable for the entire family, tickets are $10 adult and $8 Lincoln Theater members and Youth 18 and under.
