The Hathaway-Andrews Battle of WillsIn scene after scene, Mia and her prim and proper grandma match wits and trade repartee. Andrews made her name as Henry Higgins’s cheeky pupil, Eliza Doolittle, in “My Fair Lady” on Broadway in 1956. But as a queen tasked with whipping her sulky granddaughter into shape, her firm approach isn’t without humor. But in the film-long feud of royalty vs. rebel, the conflict is one of exasperation rather than true enmity. (True, her car has broken down, but he also guessed she’d try to run away.)
