Lili

Over deze film

Orphan Lili Daurier joins a carnival and falls under the spell of its star, a suave magician. But it is the show's crippled, embittered puppeteer who truly loves Lili, a love he can express only through his puppets. "It is not often that the word 'enchanting' can accurately be applied to a musical," Clive Hirschhorn wrote in The Hollywood Musical, "but it was the best way to describe Lili, as well as Leslie Caron's genuinely touching performance." Nominated for six Academy Awards®, Lili offers sentiment without sugar, simplicity without banality and a lyrical heart that beats to an Oscar®-winning Bronislau Kaper score highlighted by Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo and an imaginative sequence of Caron dancing with her beloved puppets come to life. Mel Ferrer, Jean Pierre Aumont, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Amanda Blake and Kurt Kasznar also star.

I grew up waiting for this to air on television and have always found this quirky movie to be charming and moving. So happy it's been released on dvd and other digital platforms.

I saw twice when I was teenager ( around 1994 so I was 14 year old ) and I love it. I'm lucky enough to have meet Leslie Caron in 2005 while holidaying in Paris, France.

Could really get behind these kinds of movies right now!
