Cinema Cemetery Episode 32: Gigi (1958)


Listen Later

"Ah yes, I remember it well..." If you remember, this film well, it might be time to take a second look.  Gigi follows of the story of a rich, bored social celebrity Gaston in Paris at the turn of the 20th Century.  While he seeks for more than fame and gossip, he finds himself spending more time with a friend of the family, the eponymous Gigi.  A courtesan in training, Gigi too wonders if her prescribed future is truly what she desires.

Acting as both a film precursor and a musical follow up to My Fair Lady, this movie is full of the classic grumbling, talk-singing, and mansplaining that fans of the original can expect.

Is Gigi worth remembering well?  Find out this week on Cinema Cemetery!
