1958 ***** 115 mins.
This is a fantastic music of the classic MGM variety. How could one not love the vibrant quality this film entails? How could one not love the adorable Leslie Caron as Gigi, a young girl who grows up right before our very eyes? How could one not love the comedy that this film so wonderfully delivers? How could one not love the music by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe?
In short, Gigi is a wonderful, classic musical that will age like wine.
