	dOc DVD Review: Gigi (1958) - Printable
		Gigi also innocently heralded a new chapter in the evolution of the film musical, freeing the form from the confines of Hollywood soundstages and allowing it to touch upon more adult subject matter.
		When we first see Gigi (Leslie Caron) she is frolicking in the park with her schoolmates, a young carefree girl in turn-of-the-century Paris who knows little of her family's secret history.
		Gigi is a glorious feast for the eyes, ears and heart, injecting the viewer with a welcome dose of joie de vivre through its lovely performances, music and production values.

		The screenplay writer and lyricist Lerner always said that Gigi's title song was his favorite of all he'd written, and it's easy to see why--'Gigi' is a transcendent anthem to being transformed by love from an unexpected source.
		It is ironic that GIGI, set in the year 1900, was shot on location in Paris while the contemporary "An American in Paris" was filmed on a sound stage.
		I bought this movie with great expectations, but was utterly disappointed on how uninspired and flat this movie fell on all fronts.

	That Cow - Review of Gigi (1958)
		Gigi (the musical) is, most of all, trying to be clever.
		Gigi (the character) is the apparently nubile young schoolgirl, and Gaston the man of leisure who runs with the Parisian social scene largely out of obligation.
		In the end, Gigi and Gaston find themselves in simultaneous fondness of each other, but of completely opposing opinions of what life together would be like.

		Ah, but children grow up, and when Gigi's grandmother and aunt realize that Gaston may be falling for Gigi, they hurry her lessons along, transforming her practically overnight from a spitfire girl to a beautiful young woman (it's no coincidence that Lerner and Loewe are also responsible for the 1964 Best Picture My Fair Lady).
		Gaston is initially impressed with the metamorphosed Gigi, suddenly poised and proper and stunning to behold, but then it occurs to him that now she's like all the other women he has wearied of.
		Gigi and Gaston are made for each other -- that much is obvious from their first moment together on screen.

		Audrey Hepburn was the first choice to play Gigi since she had played the role on stage in 1952, but she was making Funny Face (1957) at the time and declined.
		Producer Arthur Freed's interest in the story developed in 1953 after Anita Loos expressed her interest in adapting her play as a musical, and after he was able to convince the film industry's Code Office to view the story as condoning rather than glorifying a system of mistresses.
		The cat in movie reacted violently whenever it was in a scene with Leslie Caron, but the director insisted on having that particular cat, so it had to be heavily drugged.

		On realising that Gigi has grown up to be a beautiful young woman, Gaston declares his love for her and promises to set her up with everything that the best mistresses have.

		A movie that still has the power to send you running into the arms of Bill W. The script, direction, acting, score, cinematography, and that freaky bat, are all aces.

		Her character, Gigi, is wonderful, and I wish, oh, God, how I wish that she was in a different story with different characters played by different actors!
		There are a couple of songs that are decent, one in the form of the people's gossip and the other where Gastone, Gigi's suitor, sings, with his mouth shut (for the most part), "She's Not Thinking of Me." That one is the highlight of this otherwise dismal film.
		Gigi won the Best Picture Oscar in 1959, and, in my opinion, it's the worst Best Picture winner I've ever seen, even worse than Titanic.

		Based on a novella by Colette, GIGI tells the story of a French family of the belle epoch--a family, it seems, of women who have made their living from the favors of famous men.
		Caron was born to play Gigi, and is as charming as the awkward youth as she is as the suddenly beautiful young woman; Jourdan's appeal as the worldly and world weary Gaston is tremendous.
		But Gigi's family has a tradition of "Instead of marrying at once, it sometimes happens we get married at last." Making the tradition from pre-teen to beautiful young woman, awkward Gigi is "trained" in the arts of catering to men, such as choosing a cigar, walking elegantly and pouring coffee in the best French manner.

	30 August 1999: Gigi, and The Reluctant Debutante
		The first movie was Gigi (1958), which takes place in Paris - I think around the turn of the century, since they had telephones and automobiles, but also many horse-drawn carriages, and no mention of the First World War.
		Gigi is a musical, and a love story, since Gaston eventually realizes that he's fallen in love with Gigi.
		It's a pretty quirky film, with people referring to Gigi's grandmother's apartment as a dump (where can I find a dump like that?), and the sudden, rather awkward revelation on Gaston's part that he's in love with Gigi.

		Set as it is in turn-of-the-century Paris, Gigi is a visual feast on par with few other films yet it unravels before the eyes and ears in much the same way as most contemporary Hollywood epics.
		I concede that Gigi's musical numbers are fun and the performers lovely even if the supporting players outshine the lead actors.
		Before too much circulation in the society circle spoils her, however, Gaston convinces Gigi of his affection and they marry much to the amusement and shock of their social circle, their families included.

		But to a contemporary audience, there is something astonishing about "Gigi." The story is about the selling of a young woman to a rich young man by her doting grandmother and great-aunt.
		That Gigi, the young woman, would receive the proceeds of the sale does mitigate things, and the fact that the deal never goes through is a saving grace.
		One may leave the theater humming and clinging to the idea that "Gigi" is cheerful fluff, bubbly as the champagne it commemorates, sweet as the sugar that provides the wealth of the young man, Gaston, and his debonair uncle, Honore.

		The story tells of a young coming-of-age girl, Gigi (a delightfully gamine Leslie Caron), who is trained by her eccentric Grandmamma (Hermione Gingold) and Aunt Alicia (Isabel Jeans) to be a courtesan to a handsome well-to-do playboy, Gaston Lachaille (Louis Jourdan), who has recently broken up with his latest amour (Eva Gabor).
		When Gigi undergoes a transformation into an elegant lady, Gaston realizes that he would like to court the enthusiastic young woman...
		While "Gigi" has a certain charm (saccharine compared to Colette's novella...), for me "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" was the best 1958 movie ("The Big Country" and "The Defiant Ones" are also more interesting), so I also disagree with the Oscaring.
