With so many outstanding performances in the film, it is to Maurice Chevalier's great credit that he is able to steal the show.
Overview
A home, a motorcar, servants, the latest fashions: the most eligible and most finicky bachelor in Paris offers them all to Gigi. But she, who's gone from girlish gawkishness to cultured glamour before our eyes, yearns for that wonderful something money can't buy.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The performances are well nigh faultless.
It's easy to drift away from the story and become absorbed in Minnelli's impossibly delicate textures, but there is a little something here for everybody.
It's like a meal consisting of cheesecake, and one quickly longs for something solid and vulgar to weigh things down.
A charming entertainment.
