Review of Gigot

Gigot (1962)
8/10
I too waited 20+years to see this wonderful movie again
7 September 2005
I too saw this movie as a child and have waited 20+ years for it's return. I've never seen any actor evoke so many different emotions with one expression. FYE-when recently checked,it is not available on DVD or video as far as I know. I also thought I was the only person who knew or loved this movie, it's wonderful that so many people love it. When Jackie Gleason died, the local radio station did a "salute" to him. It was noted that Jackie's favorite movie that he was in, was GIGOT. I stumbled across this movie by accident at 4:45am this morning on cable. When are they going to stop repeating some movies 4-5 times in a month(sometimes 10 -12 times in 2 months), and do a Jackie Gleason retrospective AND promote it so that all of us that loved this movie, can actually be prepared to see it! GIGOT was shown once this month and is not scheduled again for either October or November as far as I can tell. Is cable totally unaware of how loved it is?
