Pastel vision of turn-of-the-century Paris and a lot of similarities to My Fair Lady, but the creepy undertones of Gigi training to be a mistress and the creepy narrator with "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" make this, at best, a dated paternalistic view. Good acting by all. Fav scene: Gaston freaking out over not getting Gigi.

gigi is a slight character, but caron makes her more than that. the romance is believable, as are the characters missteps along the way. lavish production design, wellshot to showcase sets, locales, costumes. catchy music fits each moment of the story and mood of the characters with clever lyrics. all in all a really feel good movie.

Maybe weaker Minnelli (I certainly think so), but even lesser Minnelli is better than most movies. I love how, even though there is less dancing than in something like Brigadoon or The Band Wagon, VM still is keenly aware of his actor's little gestures and body movements. There is also such innocence to this that it's hard to not appreciate it.

In serious contention for the title of "worst Best Picture winner." I enjoyed the set design and Andre Previn's orchestrations. Apart from that, the whole movie was a nostalgic ode to early 20th-century misogyny. As for the songs, it feels like Lerner and Loewe were basically just attempting to replicate the successes of "My Fair Lady" with different lyrics.... Except that instead of being tongue-in-cheek and satirical, "Gigi" plays it all painfully straight.

In Paris c. 1900, terminally bored Gaston (Louis Jourdan) finds himself falling in love with Gigi (Leslie Caron), a sprightly young girl whose family is training her to be a courtesan. Colorful Lerner & Loewe musical adaptation of Colette's novella, heavily honored by the Academy at the time, but 60 years on it seems hampered by the meandering story, dated premise, and lack of great numbers. Decent acting and gorgeous settings keep it fairly afloat, but it's one of the slightest Oscar winner

Weird plot and probably one of the worst best picture oscar winners in history. I mean 9 oscars? Really? The 50s were messed up in hollywood, no doubt about that.

9 Oscars for a misogynistic musical with totally forgettable music?? Oh I remember the opening title: Thank Heaven for Little Girls sung by a creepy pedophile old man...

There must have been a time when this flick was utterly charming, but that must have been a VERY long time ago. It does look great--I'll give you that. But the whole plot, peppered with a bunch of forgettable songs, is just so very creaky, embarrassing, and downright weird. And, yes, creepy ("The elderly Maurice Chevalier singing "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" may give one pause."--Pauline Kael). Did everyone drink champagne ALL the time (at the ice skating rink!) in the Paris of 1900?
