This is a fun musical that is worth re-watching. Apologies to readers, as without comparing to the book, this film is “first rate.” And for those viewers who own large high definition devices, it is also fun to watch the background from clouds to furniture.
The year 1900. The place is Paris. The story of the coming of age of a little girl, Gigi (Leslie Caron). And the coming of age of those (Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, and Hermione Gingold) interested in Gigi's coming of age. Mixed throughout in the appropriate places are relevant songs and visual filters.
Directed by Vincente Minnelli, who is well known for Brigadoon (1954) and On a Clear Day, You Can See Forever (1970). Original music by Frederick Loewe, Camelot (1967) (music: "I Wonder What the King Is Doing Tonight"), and Brigadoon (1966) (TV) (music: "I'll Go Home with Bonnie Jean")
