    How about My Fair Lady, where Eliza starts off as respected
    wife of professor Higgins and ends up selling flowers in the
    streets (or worse). Her language really deteriorates. Music

    This backwards idea seems to work only for pictures, not written
    words. Reading a book backwords doesn't give me the same kick.
    E.g., "He stabbed him in the back" read backwards doesn't make
    the knife come out.
    

    Eliza Doolittle's sad retrogression brings to mind Irma La Douce,
    in which a policeman's wife, the mother of an infant becomes a
    prostitute.

    This is great.  How about The Sound of Music?
    
    A family takes a nice hike down some mountains, plays a little hide
    and seek with some Nazi soldiers in a graveyard at a convent while
    a nice nun does some work on the engine of their car.  After enough
    frivolity, the Nazi's take in a concert put on by the family.  As
    the film progresses, the family grows apart and finally, the mother
    decides to become a nun.  It must be a really liberal convent because
    they take her in in spite of her previous family life.

    G'day,
    
    There's this lovely Princess that's taken advantage of in her sleep by
    a Prince, so she takes poison and is rescued by a bunch of small
    people, with whom she lives for a while in the woods. Whilst with the
    little people, various welfare workers try to ensure she is well fed on
    fruit. After a while, she wanders off and appears at the palace
    with her mother , the Queen who really wants her to learn Huntin'
    an' Shootin' like all good Princesses that she has her educated
    in the woods by a Huntsman.

    A young girl in Kansas falls asleep and dreams that she's in
    this magnificent Emerald City. She steals a broom from the
    local bigwig, and escapes with some friends to a creepy looking
    castle. There, she weaves a spell that conjures up an ugly old
    witch. After the girl's friends leave, the witch locks the girl
    up until she decides to get rid of her once and for all. So,
    the witch has her flying monkeys take the girl to the woods,
    where she runs into her friends again. She escorts all of them
    back to their homes, then goes to Munchkinland, where she rents
    a house to fly back to Kansas in.

    An American General is rescued from under a heavy cart and, in
    gratitude, gathers up all his Yank friends and leaves Germany (after
    the British had already left, of course). On the way through France,
    he gets the German Army to surround some other Yanks in Bastogne.
    The American officer in the town is left with an ominous note from
    the Germans -- all it contains is the word 'STUN'. In the remainder
    of the movie, the American General, although making amends with
    various subordinates, superiors and even Monty, keeps getting demoted
    in rank.

    That's 'cause he keeps backhanding this soldier in a hospital.
    That plays the same either way.
