Watch Jackie Gleason in “Gigot” (1962)
Gigot is a 1962 American comedy film directed by Gene Kelly and starring Jackie Gleason. Gigot (Gleason) (the name means “leg of mutton” in French) is a mute Frenchman living in a cellar in the Ménilmontant district of Paris in the 1920s. He ekes out a hand-to-mouth existence as a janitor at his landlady’s apartment building. He is routinely treated with condescension by neighbors and often is made the butt of practical jokes. However, he is a decent and kindhearted fellow, traits not unnoticed by children and the animals he often feeds.
Françoise Hardy “Tous les garçons et les filles” (1962)
The original Yeh-Yeh Girl, Françoise Hardy’s singing career began with a brilliant self-titled debut in 1962. The album encapsulated Hardy’s coy, dreamlike, and beautifully melancholic sonic persona with a collection of 11 mostly original songs. The album featured a few hits, including the particularly notable “Tous les Garçons et les Filles,” which sold millions as a single. This repackaging of the original album also includes Canta per Voi in Italiano, an album issued shortly after the debut with some of its songs and additional numbers re-recorded in Italian. While the original album is a classic of French pop, ’60s AM magic, and of course a forerunner of the yeh-yeh (aka yé-yé) sound, the additional tracks in Italian are a sweet counterpart [All Music Guide]
