At the 11th Academy Awards in 1939, Pygmalion was nominated for four Oscars and won one: Best Screenplay (George Bernard Shaw, Ian Dalrymple, Cecil Lewis, and W. P. Lipscomb, based on the play by Shaw). In 1956, the screenplay was adapted into the theatrical musical My Fair Lady, which in turn led to the 1964 film of the same name starring Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn.

Les Misérables (1935)

My rating: 5/10

Probably not the worst adaptation of this story, but a remarkably stuffy and self-important one.
