"GiGi"
The inspiration for GiGi's name came from the movie named "GiGi"
The words of the song:
Thank heaven for little girls
for little girls get bigger every day!
Thank heaven for little girls
they grow up in the most delightful way!
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing,
one day will flash and send you crashin' thru the ceilin'
Thank heaven for little girls
thank heaven for them all,
no matter where, no matter who,
for without them, what would little boys do?
Thank heaven... thank heaven...
Thank heaven for little girls!
Set in Paris at the turn of the century, this delightful Lerner and Loewe
musical, based on a story by Collette, follows a precocious French girl as she
is groomed into a would-be courtesan, blossoming into a stunning woman. The
story provides plenty of opportunity for Minnelli and MGM to pull out all the
stops in its first musical production shot on location. Paris and Leslie Caron
never looked lovelier, and Jourdan and Chevalier are so French, no? Songs
include: "Gigi," "Thank Heaven for Little Girls," and "Ah, Yes, I Remember It
Well." Academy Award Nominations: 9. Academy Awards: 9, including Best Picture,
Best Director, Best (Adapted) Screenplay.
An interesting bit of trivia: Leslie Caron didn't go
anywhere without her 2 boxers!
