When I first read about this, Emma Thompson was writing the screenplay with Hugh Laurie in mind for Higgins, which seemed PERFECT. Even the age difference between him and a Knightly would have been appropriate for the characters. Ah, well. I loved Knightly in P&P and if she can't sing I only hope they find a voice for her face. They did so for Audrey Hepburn and it worked well. Anne H., though American, would have been my first choice.
