Directed by: George Cukor
Starring: Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Stanley Holloway
Question: The song, "Get Me To The Church On Time," mentions "roll up the floor." What does that mean?
Question: Higgins presumably knows about the ball's high standards of dress for men and women. Why then is he the only man there who is not wearing white gloves (which are routine for such occasions)?
Deliberate mistake: When Eliza is about to be bathed, the mirror keeps turning around between shots to avoid reflecting the filming crew.
Landlady: ...and what things does she want? Her bird cage and her Chinese fan. But she says, never mind about sending any clothes.
Trivia: Rex Harrisson also played Henry Higgins on broadway. He wanted Julie Andrews for Eliza as well, since she had also played Eliza on broadway. (Julie didn't get the role obviously, but did play Mary Poppins that year, and won the Best Actress Oscar).

Answer: It just means put away (roll up) the dance floor so that he won't be distracted with dancing when he has to be at the church on time.
