Gigi

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The season of classic 50s musicals continues with this musical version of Colette's story about a young girl growing up in Paris during the 1890s.
Starring Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan

Gigi is being schooled carefully by her grandmother and aunt, but there are other influences which affect her life-like the dashing Gaston Lachaille , and the delights of ice-skating, romance and champagne. Winner of the Oscar for best film of its year, the film has decor and costumes by Cecil Beaton and a score by Lerner and Loewe.
