MCT:August 6, 2008not exactely what i expected the "swan song" to be for mgm, but it is still a pretty awesome film...

I enjoyed it a lot, even though as a musical it leaves something to be desired.
There are just better musicals out there but with the random singing aside I thought it had a great and original story and Leslie Caron as Gigi was just the life of the movie. I recommend it for a watch. -

Leslie Caron at her best. This was an excellent adaptation of the story. Beautiful sets, costume designs, and wonderful acting.

I like the scene of Jourdan reconsidering at the fountain - done entirely in silhouette. It's a beautiful little dance.
I wonder what other movies might look like with Maurice Chevalier as the narrator. "Oh 'ello! Bonjour! Zis ees New York en 1970 et ziis ees my bon ami Travis!. Pauvre Travis..." -
MCT:November 10, 2007It's a beautiful film! I love it!!!!!!!!
" I dont understand the Parisians..."

MCT:October 15, 2007Gamaldags viðhorf til kynjahlutverka og hjónabands og allir bresta í söng við minnsta tækifæri en samt svolítið sjarmerandi - sérstaklega Maurice Chevalier.

I simply adore this film. Louis Jourdan is handsome, Leslie Caron is adorable and Maurice Chevalier is spectacularly creepy. The songs are perfection and the sets and costumes make me happy. It's what I put on when I feel down and it always cheers me up.

MCT:July 30, 2007Well, it is a MGM classical, but unless the show it in television soon, then I can't get my hands on it. It's too damn old to be bought in stores anymore!

If you can get passed the fact that her grandmother and great-aunt are basically pimping her out it's a great film. Leslie Caron is brilliant in it.

MCT:July 4, 2007Many people like this film, so I must be a minority... I really like old musicals. I like Vincente Minnelli, the director. But this hardly seems worth the praise it has gotten. The creepy opening with Maurice Chevalier singing "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" just sets the tone for the rest of the movie. It's all supposed to be very charming, but it really isn't. I don't even remember the rest of the songs at all. It's a musical, for crying out loud! The only redeeming feature is the wonderful Art Nouveau set design that is sadly seen only in creepy Chevalier's apartment, and at the scenes in Maxim's. If you want to see an old musical or a movie set in France or a movie starring Leslie Caron, there are so many other options out there. I still can't believe I sat through this movie.

i love this film. the storyline is as old as time. it shows how girls grow up son fast and how easily they are led by the nose. it also shows a society were a young girl can be with a man much older

I still can't see the nine academy awards in this movie. Well it has a pretty good technical work but it's not really a best picture/director/screenplay material.
-
MCT:June 1, 2007
Leslie Caron was horrible and melodramatic as usual and you could tell all her songs were dubbed by someone that could actually sing. She could easily have destroyed the entire film. It is a tribute to the great Maurice Chevalier that he saved it. Chevalier was absolutely flawless and his "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" and "I Remember it Well" were the best numbers he had done since "Isn't it Romantic?" in Love Me Tonight. The set designers and art directors did a great job recreating turn of the century Paris and so it was hard not to like this despite the contrived plot, but how many times do we need the lovers to reject each other and then reconsider? To echo one of the early numbers in the film... "It's a Bore!"

A classic. Im a major LCaron & Colette fan tho. Story lags in spots, is dated, but well worth the watch.

"The longing to end the stale affair, until you find out she doesn't care...no aggravation, just one reluctant reply: Lady, Goodbye" The film is all about Maurice.

a beautiful, beautiful film. shot on location in paris, france, the film boasts of a wacky heroine-turned-lovely lady in leslie caron, and a dashing prince charming (forgot the name). the songs are beautiful, and the scenery is simply undescribable.
a must-see for musical fans all over the world. -
MCT:March 15, 2007
I know I have watched this movie. But really can't remember it. I know it is yet another musical classic.

Gigi is one of these movies will tell you what CLASSIC really means, its a movie which takes your mind away and makes it all be in this movie...
the music of this movie were incredibly fabulous and it some of the lyrics are just so funny and hilarious.. omg, i just cant stop singing them now..hahaha...
This OSCARS winning film is just one which tell you a story of a girl who's not so lady at all and she has to take a lesson for that every tuesday, lol.. and there is this guy who is kinda strange and funny too.. he always drag gigi home and shouts at here then follows her back and does funny things.. hahaha.. if you have seen this movie then you will know what am on about..
this is an original CLASSIC, lol.. and there are songs which are catchy like GIGI, THANKS HEAVEN and WHEN CHAMPAIGN WAS INVENTED ;)
and totally PARIS movie.. -
MCT:March 2, 2007
Somewhat long, very depressing, but excellent musical numbers, beautiful on-location scenery, and good acting make up for it...
