Younggoldchip ( talk) 18:22, 3 July 2023 (UTC) Reply The novella ends with Gigi poised to lead an innocent and respectable married life with Gaston. They themselves had led what was euphemistically called "a life of gallantry," and did not have the imagination or faith to believe that she could break out of the mould. However, her grandmother and great-aunt are training her for a life as a Grand Horizontal, as the most successful courtesans were called at that time. I've recently read the novella (again), and the point is clear that she's a virgin. The film, coming from the 1950s, had to be more discreet. The Colette novella on which this film/musical is based makes this point explicit. Have i completely missunderstood the film? i hope notĢ03.221.63.93 06:25, (UTC) Reply Gigi is indeed a courtesean. It sounds a bit crass and makes gaston seem like a giant creep, i never saw him like that before. i also have a problem with the reference to gaston stating "it occurs to gaston that he could be gigi's first patron". It seemed to me like she detested the idea of being with several men for financial support and as though she had always inteded to marry a man whome she loved. I also believe that had Gigi been groomed as a courtier she would not be so opposed to the idea of being with Gaston. It is entirely possible that i romanticised Gigi's lessons with her aunt but i had always assumed they were simply a form of deportment. Not knowing what the term meant i followed the link to find an article about upper class, educated, prostitutes (for lack of a better word). Having seen the film i was surprised to hear gigi described as a courtesan. Best regards, - Ssilvers 15:16, (UTC) Reply See also the Article Structure page and discussion at WP:MUSICALS. You're such a valuable contributor to aricles related to musicals - I suggest you add your name as a participant at WP:MUSICALS. I don't think we need to cite the IBDB for the musical here on the film article, since the musical's article cites it, and you have a blue link to the musical's article. JeanColumbia 11:54, (UTC) Reply Again, good work. I made one change to reflect what Lerner writes with respect to their dissatisfaction with the initial print of Gigi-the strategy of offering to buy a percentage of the movie, then to buy the print-I do not read the relevant paragraph as stating they actually offered to pay for changes. The entire chapter on the making of "Gigi" is 51 pages I haven't given specific page numbers for other statements, but they appear to be correct, based on the Lerner book. The "Production" section seems to be adapted, for the most part, from the chapter on "Gigi" in the book "The Street Where I Live", by Alan Jay Lerner (1978).
