And by the way, I think I heard the inimitable voice of Paul Frees, dubbing the voices of two of Gaston's servants in the early dressing scene (Paul uses different voices and accents, but it's unmistakably him).

I watched Gigi tonight. Every time I see it, the story itself just seems richer and richer. In some ways, it's more powerful than Pygmalion/My Fair Lady. By her simple honesty and morality, Gigi transforms Gaston. The reprise of the song "Gigi" isn't sung, but it is played while he walks...
