Gigi (1958, Romance, Musical, Paris, Courtesan, Adaptation)
  
PLOT: Weary of the conventions of Parisian society, a rich playboy and a youthful courtesan-in-training (Leslie Caron) enjoy a platonic friendship, but it may not stay platonic for long. Similarities can be drawn between Gigi and 2005's Memoirs of a Geisha (also based on a novel), as both deal with courtesans attempting to stay true to their craft, while trying to fend off the temptations of love. AUTHOR: Colette
