GIGI (1958) 24911

MGM Italian 39x55 Folded. Fine Plus Condition

Original MGM Italian 39x55 for the Vincente Minnelli musical, GIGI (1958) starring Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, and Louis Jourdan. Set in Paris in the "Gay Nineties," this Lerner-Loewe musical is considered by many critics to be among the very best MGM musicals. Everything about the production was near perfect: the songs by Lerner and Loewe; the lavish sets; costumes by the great Cecil Beaton; artful direction by Minnelli; and excellent performances by all the cast, especially Chevalier who steals every scene he is in. The film won nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Original Song "Gigi" to Lerner and Loewe, and Best Director to Minnelli. Chevalier won a special Oscar for "contributions to the world of entertainment for more than half a century." This original Italian 39x55 is in fine plus to very fine condition. This poster would shine if linen-backed, but it isn't essential. First class!
