Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesDue to Gigot (1962) not being a success, 20th Century Fox did not want to cast Jackie Gleason as Popeye Doyle in The French Connection (1971).
- GaffesThe Baker scoops coins into his hand from the counter and places them in a paper bag. He then puts the bag into a metal box. Except, he missed one coin on the counter. The scene cuts to Gigot in the doorway and then back to the Baker holding the metal box and the coin on the counter is gone.

Commentaire à la une
This splendid film is a lost masterpiece. Most everyone I talk to that has seen it, saw it on a local television matinée. So far as I can tell it is not available on video. This wonderful film has fallen between the cracks somehow but the discovery of it only adds to it's charm. Like a rare natural wonder hidden far off the beaten path some afternoon, you may be trudging through your day and stumble onto this film, a beautiful sentimental picture.
If you like Capra, you will love Gigot. Not for the dark of heart or impatient, this film will move you to tears. It has the feel of a small foreign film, but has the heart as big as any film ever made. Directed by Gene Kelly, the set's are wonderful, the acting subtle and superb, the music perfect and most important of all "The Great One" Jackie Gleason's performance as the mute Gigot has a depth and pathos that few actors have ever achieved. I wonder if John Candy wasn't partially reflecting on 'Gigot' when he played his Del Griffeth character in 'Planes, Trains...' There is something behind these actors performances that could not have been acting. Like Buster Keaton, one gets the sense that deep down, the character is a reflection of the pain the actor truly feels. Check your local listings to see if this is playing and record it. A 10 out of 10.
