Based on the popular novel by Vera Caspary.

Based on the scandalous novel (for its time) by Rosamond Marshall. It is the old Pygmalion story with a little bit of saucy sex thrown in! Kitty, a London guttersnipe in the 18th century, is taken in by an impoverished nobleman and taught how to be a lady. Married first to a rich merchant, she keeps moving up the social ladder until she becomes engaged to the Prince of Wales and her title is greater than the nobleman himself!

Outstanding sets and decorations, as well as fantastic costuming all contribute to Goddard’s best-remembered role. Plus, the closing line is one of the wittiest ever written for the screen.

Using black and white photography, John Heymann shows the contrasts of light and shadow in space and emphasizes spatial relationships between objects by joining the spontaneity of photojournalism with the aesthetics of fine art. The results are unexpected designs and forms of nature and landscapes that show how our environment is always changing.

GIGI – 1958, COLOR, 116 min. With Leslie Caron, Louis Jourdan, Maurice Chevalier, Hermione Gingold and Eva Gabor.

One of the last original musicals written for the screen and one of the most charming! After their great success on Broadway, Lerner and Loewe were asked to turn Colette’s delightful story into a musical for MGM. Gigi, a young girl, is being taught the profession of being a courtesan – a fact the film never mentions! She falls in love with the nobleman who wants her for his mistress. When he realizes how charming and innocent Gigi is, he falls in love with her and decides that only marriage will do. Chevalier’s first American film since 1934 opened a whole new career for him. Winner of nine Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Song (“Gigi”), Best Director, Best Costume Design, among others.
