I know EXACTLY what you mean! After seeing this for the first time MANY years ago, I started adding gingerbread cookies to the list of Christmas cookies I'd bake. I've been doing them every year since then. There's one for each one in the family - each personalized with their names. This year I got to watch the new babies 'teething' on theirs!

(God - listen to that voice!)

Mamie, Sinatra and Garland were the greatest singers of the 20th century. I can't remember who said, "The 20th century ended when Frank Sinatra died," but I agree.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I love 'em both! Thankfully, we have them both to love.

I know so many people that don't "get" Gigi. It makes me sad. I think it's a masterpiece. But so many people approach it with a modern sensibility and don't understand the "romantic politics" of the time.

(pssst: Besty - Miss P was asking if I would watch The Superbowl or American in Paris...)

I adore both of those movies, also.

Gigi has some of the most wonderful songs. I remember being a little girl and singing every word to 'The Night They Invented Champagne". I especially loved making the cork-popping 'sound' with my finger inside my mouth! (not sure how to describe that...)

Every song from that movie is a classic!

And, I agree with you about the lack of understanding of the 'romantic politics' of the time. It's a fascinating topic.

No-no-no, I wasn't even commenting about Le Super Bowl.

I was, as Addy suspected, referring to the two Parisian Best Picture musicals on TCM.

I've talked to many people who creep out over "Gigi" saying thinks like:

But she's training to be a 'ho!

And she's under age, and that man who loves her was a man when she was a little girl.

And that "little girl" song is a valentine to pedophilia.

And on and on...

They don't understand the era. They think women actually had freedom, a "voice" and options back then. They don't understand the class system and how it took hold of society.

Oh, listen to me, telling Addy and Penny things they already know.

Exactly!

And, do those people also realize that Gigi is based on a book by Colette and that her main themes were the joys and pains of love, and female sexuality in the male-dominated world?
