| Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Delightful adaptation of Paul Gallico's story, this is a charming tale of young orphan Lili (Leslie Caron,- Gigi, The L-Shaped Room, Chocolat) who learns the truth about love with the help of a crippled puppeteer (Mel Ferrer,- Scaramouche, War And Peace). A thoroughly charming and bittersweet musical fable as entertaining today as when it was first released.

Lili - enduingly sweet September 23, 2009 R. B. Duenas Leon (Buckinghamshire, UK) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Leslie Caron is the stranded young woman alone in France. A chance meeting with a slick magician from the visiting circus enthralls her and she follows him finding employment in a puppet show. As she becomes mesmerised with the caddish magician she is blind to the real love the puppet master has for her.
So delightfully lovely - full of pathos in the puppet characters. Leslie Caron is well-suited to the childlike yet maturing Lily - wide-eyed and conscious at the same time.
A story about growing up, courage and the risk that is love. Watch it with your children!
