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

Ah, you need Paris and some champagne, GH!

[gettinhep]

Posted: 2/1/08 at 8:52pm

Oui! Tres bien.

I have had, 'fly to the sky on Champagne...' going through my mind.

Or upload it to photobucket and resize it.

'Dipped. Poor thing doesn't know it, yet.'

WHo did I just read is returning in GIGI in the Maurice Chevalier role?

[NYadgal]

Posted: 2/1/08 at 9:10pm

"Gigi, you're from another planet."


oooh, Who?! And, returning to Gigi where? when? Do tell!

(Maurice Chevalier is the perfect Honore'...)

Addy, I would be happy to tell you if I actually had a memory.

[gettinhep]

Posted: 2/1/08 at 9:16pm

Ah, yes. I remember it well.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 2/1/08 at 9:17pm

Ah, yes...

it's Topol! And Millicent Martin will be Inez!

Great. Only 22 and half hours by plane.

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."

[NYadgal]

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.

[JohnBoy2]

Posted: 2/3/08 at 11:17am

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.

I especially love the set dressing on this film.

[Mamie]

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.

So Glebb, no Fred and Rita love?
