I wish TCM would get around to Gigi down here. They've been on a Western kick instead.

On stage?!?

Fun fact:
The day after the movie won its nine Oscars, M-G-M telephone operators were instructed to answer all phone calls with, "Hello, M-Gigi-M."

Another fun fact:
With only four letters, "Gigi" has the shortest title of any film to win the Oscar for Best Picture.


(GH, shorten the flight with a stop in New York! )

Gigi and Funny Face have always been too gay for me. Perhaps it's the Gay Paree influence on both?

While I do love TCM, their oscar month lineup is not as strong as in recent years.

Their 31 Days of Oscar is always my least favorite time of year on TCM. However, since they've gotten hold of Warner Bros. and Columbia titles, I find myself watching more of TCM than ever before.

It's good to see you back, Glebby. I love this film too. Particularly my favorite - Virginia O'Brien. She was a beautiful master of the dead-pan!

Thanks Mamie!
I was in Seattle seeing wonderful Pacific Northwest Ballet's production of John-Christoff Maillot's ROMEO ET JULIETTE.
