B.J. Rice This was a good musical and kind of towards the end of the era of "golden musicals" in Hollywood. It was very successful at the time and won 9 Oscars which seems hard to believe in retrospect. It's definitely a good movie but today does not seem like the kind of film that would pick up so many Academy Awards. Anyway if you like musicals of the era you should check this one out, it's got some great numbers in it and decent acting. A pretty predictable story but that's pretty common for these musicals.

grauwulf24-85-731094 Are you kidding me! A 6.8 rating! This is aesthetically and craft wise one of the top 50 films ever, subjectivity aside. The rules and styles of the society in which the story takes place, and of the times of the filming may not be what they are now. Nevertheless, like Moliere or Shakespeare, or a Rembrandt, this is timelessly excellent.

yuvaljh This movie is terrible, misogynistic, and fetishizes young women. Ignoring the suspicious "Thank Heaven For Little Girls" tune that plays as the movie's theme with the winning line "Without them what would little boys do?", this movie portrays unhealthy relationship dynamics as normal and healthy. It also glorifies a suicide of one of the characters as exhilarating gossip and a cause for celebration. The main characters who begin the movie with a big brother-little sister relationship dynamic end up in a romantic relationship when the girl is only 16. Do. Not. See. This. Movie.

Koundinya The first time i watched the movie, i felt it was a "bore". The movie hardly has any running time of the character Gigi. The characters were melodramatic and their language was a butchered version of English. I never found the most vital element of Humor missing in the movie and was totally let down after having watched musicals like Singin' in the Rain and Wizard of Oz.Well, it was quite a long time back. I must agree i matured as a person who understands movie and appreciates it and not merely judge a movie based on its efficacy in entertaining. The movie is undoubtedly an entertainer.As the movie progressed, i started to understand the uniqueness of the movie and was enthralled by the songs and art setting. The movie is set in Paris at the turn of the century and the lifestyle, sartorial, marital and tonsorial preferences of the inhabitants is discreetly presented.The songs are brilliantly written and set to euphonious background music and when i paid heed to the lyrics, i realized what i greatly missed the first time i watched it- Humor.The movie also brings forth a message that no matter how rich and famous a man is, his heart remains vacant for a woman who remains herself and not be camouflaged with book-learned principles on satisfying a man.
