Gigi (dir. Vincente Minnelli, 1958)
"Thank heavens for leetle girls," sings twinkly Maurice Chevalier: not sure he'd get away with that today, but it won him a special Oscar, one of nine garnered by this effervescent musical. Adapted from Colette's story, it has Leslie Caron's coquettish Gigi training to become a courtesan in 1890s Paris, to the tune of Lerner and Loewe's sweet songs.
