1958 Best Picture Winner

Premiered May 15 1958 in New York

Budget $3.3 Million

Gross N/A

This movie gave more respect for timeless musicals (like Wizard of Oz or the Sound of Music). The music did not appeal to me at all. The story was boring and actually a little creepy: The creepy old uncle talks and sings about loving "little girls". I found it very odd.

The only intriguing part of the film is the character Gigi. She is an unrefined teenage girl who becomes a lady. Her transformation is somewhat interesting. It was one bright spot in an overall dull movie.

Joel

Favorite: I liked the use of the narrator, Honore. That showed some creativity on the part of the writer.

Least Favorite: I hated the music. All of it was terrible and boring.

Callie
Favorite: I enjoyed the feminine quality of the movie. Not many films so far have had that. It was certainly a chick flick.
Least Favorite: It was shady. A 35 year old man chasing a 15 year old.
