Gigi

Fifteen-year old Gigi (Caron) comes from a long line of courtesans; her mother, grandmother, and aunt are determined to groom her for a similar future. As she matures, her friendship with playboy Gaston (Jourdan) begins to evolve into something more romantic. Chevalier plays a womanizer, who observes the story unfolding and praises the sexual charms of "little girls." According to him, Paris circa 1900 was as tough a market as New York today: "In Paris, those who will not marry are usually men, and those who do not marry are usually women."
