Movie Reviews of Gigi (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: GIGI - FINALLY
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally with the help of Blu-Ray, GIGI can be seen and enjoyed like nothing else. This is one of my favorite, favorite, favorite MGM musicals. I saw this as a teenager about fifty gazillion times. I was so delighted when it came out in letterbox format on VHS, Laser Disc, DVD, however, I never ever expected it to look quite like this until Blu-ray. It is better than theatre quality. Anyone who really loves musicals will be swooning when they see this edition. Thank Heavens for Gigi and Thank Heavens for Gigi on Blu-Ray.
Summary of Gigi (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/16/2008Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's 1958 direct-to-screen follow-up to their My Fair Lady was--miraculously--every bit as memorable as that stage smash. Set in fin-de-si?cle Paris and based on a Colette story, Gigi also is about a girl (Leslie Caron) on a lower rung of society who blossoms into Cinderellahood before our eyes and ears. Thank heaven for Hermione Gingold and Maurice Chevalier as her mentors, and Louis Jourdan as her prince. The screenplay writer and lyricist Lerner always said that Gigi's title song was his favorite of all he'd written, and it's easy to see why--"Gigi" is a transcendent anthem to being transformed by love from an unexpected source. The entire score, including "Say a Prayer" (which had been cut from My Fair Lady), "I Remember It Well," "The Night They Invented Champagne," and "Thank Heaven for Little Girls," comprise a sparkling, rare soundtrack recording that stands alone and can be enjoyed and understood by those who have not yet seen the movie, deprived souls that they are. The winner of nine Academy Awards (plus a special Oscar for Chevalier), including Best Picture, Gigi was the last great MGM movie musical and one of the best. --Robert Windeler
