Oscar Loves... Musicals

This month, the team discuss the musicals that have won Best Picture: the good, the bad, and the never agains.

Gigi, directed by Vincente Minelli, and starring Leslie Caron, tells the story of 16 year-old Gigi, who begins her training as a courtesan and, in the process, tames the heart of Paris' most eligible bachelor Gaston - played by Louis Jordan.

Rob Marshall's Chicago is a razzle dazzle screen adaptation of the broadway musical by Kander and Ebb, starring Renee Zellwegger and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, the most seductive murderesses of the Jazz Age.
