Yes, and how about the earlier (I would say 'better', but maybe others disagree) film of _Pygmalion_? They both cover the same material (even if they both also try to create a "happy ending" that is not in Shaw's original). _Inherit The Wind_ also, briefly, but crucially, focuses on the interpretation of language ("The Bible says it was a day ... was it a 24 hour day" ... and so forth). This is fun! Paul E.
