Language

The keys to your upbringing and education, to how much you read and retain, to your social class, your parents, their financial security, everything, are in your speech. Fix that, and a Cockney flower seller could pass in fine company for a duchess.

They let Audrey Hepburn sing the songs but then they had Marni Nixon overdub them. Audrey’s versions seem more authentic, even when faltering on the high notes.
