There's a fine bittersweet air to this tale that leaves you longing to see it again.

Radio Times
It's easy to drift away from the story and become absorbed in Minnelli's impossibly delicate textures, but there is a little something here for everybody.

[A] Parisian valentine...garnished with lots of actual locations. -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
Gigi is dressed to kill, but if all the French finery impresses the customers, it also smothers the story.

Rating: 4/4 --
With Louis Jourdan as the bored playboy, Maurice Chevalier a delight as the ageless Gallic rake and Leslie Caron radiating her sunny gamin charm as Gigi.

With so many outstanding performances in the film, it is to Maurice Chevalier's great credit that he is able to steal the show.

Product Description:
Set in Paris at the turn of the century, this delightful Lerner and Loewe musical, based on a story by Collette, follows a precocious French girl as she is groomed into a would-be courtesan, blossoming into a stunning woman. The story provides plenty of opportunity for Minnelli and MGM to pull out all the stops in its first musical production shot on location. Paris and Leslie Caron never looked lovelier, and Louis Jourdan and Maurice Chevalier are so French, no' Songs include: "Gigi," "Thank Heaven for Little Girls," and "Ah, Yes, I Remember It Well." Academy Award Nominations: 9. Academy Awards: 9, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best (Adapted) Screenplay.
