Pigmalion (1938): a Film Indirectly Related to Medicine
Abstract
This paper focuses on the film Pygmalion (1938), indirectly related to Medicine and based on the play by the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw, inspired in Book X of Ovid's Metamorphoses. However, it cannot be ruled out that, among others, Shaw may have been also influenced by the historical romance between the German doctor Friedrich Gustav Jacob Henle and the seamstress Elise Egloff, through the novel Die Frau Professorin by Berthold Auerbach. Its different location in place and time, the change from the original sculptural fact to a socio-cultural inequality and the striking identity of names between Elise and Eliza contribute to this probability
