hepburn's second film released in 1964 was george cukor's film adaptation of the stage musical "my fair lady", which premiered in october. "soundstage" wrote that "not since "gone with the wind" has a motion picture created such universal excitement as "my fair lady"", although hepburn's casting in the role of cockney flower girl eliza doolittle was a source of dispute. julie andrews, who had originated the role on stage, was not offered the part because producer jack l. warner thought hepburn was a more "bankable" proposition. hepburn initially asked warner to give the role to andrews but was eventually cast. further friction was created when, although non-singer hepburn had sung in "funny face" and had lengthy vocal preparation for the role in "my fair lady", her vocals were dubbed by marni nixon, whose voice was considered more suitable to the role. hepburn was initially upset and walked off the set when informed.
