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.
