Gigi

About Gigi

A home, a motorcar, servants, the latest fashions: the most eligible and most finicky bachelor in Paris offers them all to Gigi. But she, who's gone from girlish gawkishness to cultured glamour before our eyes, yearns for that wonderful something money can't buy.

Gigi is a 1958 comedy romance film directed by Vincente Minnelli. It runs 115 minutes and was released in May 1958.
