In the movie we get the "boy gets girl" ending, contrary to Shaw's epilogue
to the play where he points out Galatea would have never married Pygmalion,
that no woman would ever choose to live with a man so God-like (except for
my wife, that is).

Much of Honegger's film music has been recorded and is available on CD.
I am not aware that the Pygmalion score, or a suite from it, is included.
