If you loved Gigi, try Meet Me in St. Louis
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Vincente Minnelli, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gigi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Meet Me in St. Louis is
The Smiths’ pre-World’s Fair domestic tempests include a first crush, a first heartbreak, and a first teapot tantrum. Through one calendar of parades and piano lessons they cling to summer’s end like kids reluctant to let go. A musical about nostalgia that forgets to pack its own suitcases.
