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, whos gone from girlish gawkishness to cultured glamour before our eyes, yearns for that wonderful something money cant 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. man-about-town Maurice Chevalier sings to Hermione Gingold.

Live love itself, Gigi is most memorable.
