| Great Musical of Its Time GIGI is a great movie musical of its time to have in any collection. Leslie Caron and cast of actors are colorful and delighful with beautiful Parisian locations and costumes. By syls.2 (El Paso, Texas)  This review is for a different format. |
| Fabulous Oscar Winner I never tire of seeing this movie musical. A must have for any fan of classic musicals. By dianakae (Kalamazoo, MI, USA)  This review is for a different format. |
| Wonderful Mother/Daughter movie to view Back in the early 60's My mom took me to my first movie that wasn't a Disneymovie.It was so memorable. By legacy95 (kent WA)  This review is for a different format. |
| Stellar film, just slightly less than stellar package Amazingly (for a fan of musicals), I'd never seen "Gigi" until December 2004! While the story is a bit odd (though it makes sense if you know the background that was not clearly stated due to film censorship in the 1950s), the music is stellar and the photography is beautiful. By markz (Plano, TX, USA)  This review is for a different format. |

Gigi DVD Features
A home, a motorcar, servants, the latest fashions: the most eligible and most finicky bachelor (Louis Jourdan) in Paris offers them all to Gigi (Leslie Caron). But she, who's gone from girlish gawkishness to cultured glamour before our eyes, yearns for that wonderful something money can't buy. Producer Arthur Freed, director Vincente Minnelli and a cast rife with Gallic charm combine talents for this lavish winner of nine Academy Awards including Best Picture. Its Alan Jay Lerner/Frederick Loewe songs can sparkle like "The Night They Invented Champagne" or caress with title-tune tenderness. "I Remember It Well," Maurice Chevalier sings to Hermione Gingold. You'll remember Gigi forever.
