It suddenly occurs to Gaston that he could become her first protector, but the situation makes him uneasy until he discovers that he's in love with Gigi and wants to marry her.Ī copy of the soundtrack album is seen on the cover of the 1969 Pink Floyd album Ummagumma. Gigi is being groomed to follow in her grandmother's footsteps as a famous courtesan. He only truly enjoys the time that he spends with one of his uncle's old friends, Madame Alvarez, and her grand-daughter, the precocious and carefree Gigi. But Gaston is becoming bored with the high life. In turn-of-the-century Paris, Gaston Lachaille is a bon vivant much like his uncle, Honore (who thanks heaven for little girls).
