| Sumario: | 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.

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 |
