"Shaw couldn't even come up with the right ending for "Pygmalion""

Well, Shaw´s play doesn´t end like "My Fair Lady" does...

While in the film Liza subdues herself to Higgins, her Demiurge, the man who had created Miss Doolittle, in the original play she slams the door in his face, and the ending (as played) is somewhat left open to interpretation. And then Shaw wrote a "Sequel", where he calmly analizes the whole situation, and reaches to the conclusion that Liza will marry Freddy, that dolt who in the film sings "On the Street where you live", and what will happen thereafter...

Read the link, it´s interesting! And after that, just go to the end of Act V, and read the last lines in it...

"My Fair Lady" is Shaw´s "Pygmalion" blenderized by Lerner.
