"Gigi" is on TCM. Not my favorite musical, in spite of Leslie Caron being in it. For one thing, her leading man is Louis 'icky' Jourdan. But the costumes and the sets make up for it. It's 'amusing' how the film glosses over the fact that it's about a 16-year-old girl being groomed by her aunt and her grandmother to become the mistress of a grownup man.
