Right on the heels of An American in Paris comes 
			Gigi on Blu-ray 
			that has been remastered for this definitive movie format. 
			Considered the last great musical of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Gigi is 
			once again directed by Vincente Minnelli  and unlike his 
			previous movie "set" in Paris, this movie is actually filmed in the 
			City of Love. 
			
			The most impressive feature of this movie for a film that is over 
			50 years old is the quality of the transfer and restoration which 
			looks simply stunning on Blu-ray with a beautiful colour palette, sharp 
			images and a decent soundtrack. The story of Giga of course revolves 
			around Giga (Leslie Caron) who is the granddaughter of Madame 
			Alvarez (Hermoine Gingold), a retired
			courtesan that sends her to her aunt to be taught how to act like a 
			lady. 
			
			Madame Alvarez is also playing matchmaker and attempts to hook 
			up Gigi with Gaston (Louis Jordan). Unfortunately for Gigi, Gaston 
			has been brainwashed by his uncle Honoré (Maurice Chevalier) that 
			marriages are doomed and only a mistress will do. 
			
			From there, he 
			decides to vacation in Paris and invites Giga and her grandmother 
			along as the two become embroiled in this quirky and confused 
			romance. Gaston tries to convince Gigi to become his mistress, 
			however she declines and she vows to find true love. 
			
			Of course where 
			the movie does come into play besides the cute romance are the songs 
			and dance that features some great memorable songs like "Thank 
			Heaven for Little Girls" which although was quite innocent in its 
			day, might come across a little different these days, especially 
			when Uncle Honoré is singing. 
			
			Needless to say, Leslie Caron is the 
			star of this musical romance that is set in authentic Paris and 
			makes it difficult for viewers not to drawn in from 
			the sights and sounds of this wondrous city. As mentioned earlier, 
			the video and audio quality of this presentation is outstanding and 
			looks amazing on Blu-ray that goes hand in hand with the musical 
			soundtrack. 
			
			There is even some interesting extras that include 
			commentary by film historian Jeanine Basinger and even Leslie Caron 
			plus a variety of other pleasant extras that neatly puts a bow on 
			this impressive presentation.
