Answer:
Acts 1 and 2 of the play and the first 35 minutes of the film both contain the same characters. The characters looked slightly different than I imagined they would. For example, I expected Eliza to look more untidy and shabby in the film. Alfred Doolittle looked very healthy and hearty for an ordinary dustman. I thought he would look skinny and worn-out to reflect his background. I also expected Colonel Pickering and Higgins to look about the same age. But in the film, Pickering looks a lot older than Higgins.
In the play, Higgins is supposed to be at least 20 years older than Eliza. However, in the film he doesn’t look very old compared to Eliza—they look about the same age. Plus, in the play, Higgins is first introduced as the Notetaker and brought to the audience’s attention when Eliza confronts him about observing her. In the film, the audience first sees him walking through the Covent Garden market before the main events of the play even begin.
