Even toned down for the era, this 1958 screen musical is quite surprising, given its subject matter: Leslie Caron plays a young – very young – “courtesan in training,” learning to cater to the whims of weathy, usually elderly men. And when Maurice Chevalier sings “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” in this context, he’s not singing about tiny tykes in baby carriages. Louis Jourdan co-stars.
