Description

GIGI--which became the successful Lerner-Loewe movie musical--is the story of a young Parisian girl in training to be a courtesan, and the man-about-town who falls in love with her. As the delightful Gigi, one of Colette's most successful characters, batters with her lover Gaston against the rigid traditions of fin de siç¢¬e French society, Colette demonstrates the superiority of true love over mere commerce. JULIE DE CARNEILHAN, reportedly based on Colette's relationship with her second husband, describes a faded aristocrat and her decadent ex-husband, who is trying to blackmail his present wife out of her fortune. CHANCE ACQUAINTANCES is a farce describing the various sexual intrigues that unfold during a weekend party at a country house.
