Best Picture Award - Gigi

This movie was the 1958 Best Picture Academy Award winning movie.  A musical - I dont like musicals and this movie was no exception.  The setting was France, a young girl maturing, and a rich guy falling in love with her.
A couple of interesting observations (at least to me).  First, several people were described as gay.  Most younger folks would not recognize the use of this word to describe someone as happy and carefree.  Secondly, the age of the young girl was never revealed but she seemed to be in her teens.  Today an older guy (late 20s or 30s) would be considered a pedophile for pursuing her.

Title for the movie is easy to determine its origin.  The young girls name is Gigi.

40 Best Picture movies seen.  Only 40 left to see.  Ive reached the half way point.
