Money gained, partly, by selling his extensive collection of photographs,
assembled over many years. The man was on a mission and we should all be
grateful to him for it.

I know of one (much of my French was learned on the streets of Paris and
contains a lot of, no doubt now outdated, /argot/, to the point where I'm
not always sure what's socially acceptable - e.g. degoutant/degeulasse)
but wasn't aware there were several.

By todays standards, Gigi would be a "porn" movie... Matching up a
(supposedly) under-aged girl with a middle-aged bachelor. (I think Leslie
Caron was late 20's early 30s when she made that movie, but she played the
"child" well)

I don't think she was supposed to be a 'Lolita', just young. I doubt that
most studios would take the chance of making it these days, though.

According to IMDB she was born in 1931, which would have made her 27.
