Mike Clark

Minnelli's other Oscar-winning perennial. [19 Sep 2008, p.4D]

Abel Green

It has all the ingredients. It's a naughty but nice romp of the hyper-romantic naughty 90s of Paris-in-the-spring, in the Bois, in Maxim's, and in the boudoir. How can it miss? Read full review

Kate Cameron

The direction is excellent and Freed is to be congratulated on the production as a whole, as the story is presented in an original and enticing manner. Read full review

Gigi is a very conservative Musical film! Gigi lacks the creative ideas of musical films.

I knew what the end of the movie was just from watching the trailer. In fact, the trailer missells the movieMusically, it's a big miss (worse than My Fair Lady, which I don't particularly like).
