Review of Gigi (1958) by Gerasimos E — 14 Aug 2010
For what it is, a 1958 MGM musical, it's fantastic! Some of the best songs ever put to film are here (Thank Heaven for Little Girls, Ah Yes I Remember It Well, etc.). There is an abundance of pomp and fluff but little or no connection to reality. Films such as this one certainly have their place as vehicles for escape and fantasy - but it seems odd to envision a 'utopian' society populated entirely with rich, white, upper-crust socialites.
*NOTE: There I go again, projecting 2010 sensibilities onto a 1950s film. Shame on me!
