Gigi / Blu-ray
£15.99 Delivered
Available Now.
Young Gigi is all arms and legs and giddy enthusiasm. Can this irrepressible tomboy be turned into a courtesan elegant enough to conquer love - besotted, turn - of - the - century Paris? Mais Oui! And what happens when love conquers Gigi? Ooh la la!
Director Vincente Minnelli and writer Alan Jay Lerner adapt Colette's novel to the screen, combining a sparkling Lerner and Loewe score, resplendent sets and costumes, sumptuous on - location shooting and a renowned cast into a musical romp as bubbly as champagne.
The cast includes Leslie Caron, Louis Jourdan, Hermione Gingold and the incomparable Maurice Chevalier. Whether singing the praises of young love (Thank Heaven For Little Girls) or love long past (I Remember It Well), Chevalier is gallantry personified. So, come dine at Maxim's and whirl through the Tuileries with Gigi, the film 'aglitter and aglow with songs, enchantment and charm to spare,' - Newsweek.
