This musical by Vincente Minnelli takes place in turn-of-the-century Paris. Louis Jourdan plays Gaston, a rich playboy who is tired of the conventions of the high society of which he is a part. He finds refuge visiting the residence of Madame Alvarez (Hermione Gingold), the grandmother of Gigi (Leslie Caron). In their welcoming home, Gaston and Gigi can just be silly playing card games or singing songs. However, Gigi's Aunt Alicia (Isabel Jeans) is grooming her to be a lady. And soon both Gigi and Gaston realize that she is turning out to be quite a beauty.
