I Remember It Well ☆ Maurice Chevalier & Hermione Gingold

[@jennymacallan9071]

"Am I getting old?" "Oh no, not you." Such tenderness...

[@MarianMurphy-rz8ej]

It is very sweet and sentimental. Sad the way people are wolves now so what do such moments mean to people these days?..

[@williamfry6087]

My wife today said the refrain "I remember it well" and I remembered Hermione and Maurice singing that song from my youth. I have not heard it in over 50 years, But I remember it well.

[@margieerwin5798]

Yes, Maurice Chevalier and this iconic song, I remember it well.

[@oscar646]

Two great pros, two fabulous artists, performing with their singular genius! Can’t get enough!

[@rw8733]

So true. Magical.

[@aseyete]

I have know my spouse for 45 years now. And I find myself not clearly remembering all the dates and details of our courtship. But as this song so eloquently demonstrates, it's the feeling of love that really counts in a relationship. And that is what I remember very well.

I think there’s even more to it. His memories are all more romanticised, which assures her that her Prince of Love really was in love with her.

[@noway9081]

Wonderful comment. It's a song about love, memories, and kindness.

[@deliaschwartz667]

Love the way she corrects him without offending him. Beautiful picture ..

[@MarianMurphy-rz8ej]

Things sound less like bickering and warring like cantankerous cats and dogs when it is done through the medium of song…😂 Even…”anything you can do I can do better”…

A great nostalgia song.

[@LaurenceDay-d2p]

Beautiful and nostalgic song for anyone who has grown old and remembers their youth.

[@TFTSDuet]

My duet has been performing this at Senior Living sites for many years. Always get a good response from the residents!! On several occasions, the younger staff are seen with tears in their eyes as they remember their grandparents! What a memory provoking set of lyrics for us older folks!

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Shhh ... don't tell the others TFTSDuet, but this one's my favorite response. So evocative. In so few wonderful words!

[@georgeparowski1420]

Maurice Chevalier was a superb actor with a great personality

[@backwardmen8090]

How sweet. Such a heartfelt performance by two old showbiz veterans. Bless them both.

[@garrettmeadows2273]

Reminds me of my late grandparents. Maurice had such a marvelous smile.

[@frankomahony1874]

I always remember this song, and sung so beautifully. It has a wonderful message. A work of art.

[@tomwheeler5165]

Hermione Gingold was unique. Beautiful eyes and beautiful in her own way....the proper British reserve and the french romanticism. Some things are done so well that they are timeless and this will always be timeless

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

And a splendid voice for Disney's THE ARISTOCATS. Married for a time to the fellow who wrote, "A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces . . . and airline ticket to romantic places, Oh, how the ghost of you clings ... these foolish things remind me of you."

[@williamschlenger1518]

[@csmooth202]

I loved the scene where everyone at that nice restaurant were gossiping and would freeze when someone walked into the room. One of the most creative scenes that I’ve ever seen.

[@StevenTorrey]

This almost throw-away song is pivotal to an understanding of the movie. Maurice wants to convince Louis Jourdan that Gigi should be nothing more than a courtesan. And yet this song speaks to the need for true love of a soul-mate... And in the end, Louis Jourdan sees Gigi as a soul mate, something more than a courtesan. A moving song, a moving moment, from a great movie.

[@HeartoftheDragonColo]

+Steven Torrey Very nice & perceptive comment. Thank you.

[@StevenTorrey]

+HeartoftheDragonColo Thank you!

[@angelaweston608]

Steven Torrey True! This song was one of my favorite parts of the film, it said so much & was well done.

[@stuartofblyth]

I never saw the film, only heard this song as a stand-alone on the radio. Even so, it touches the heart in a deep way. Very moving

[@1001ruth]

BINGO !!

I remember seeing this movie with my mom , and when he sung this song, I was thinking one day ill hear this song and my mom will have passed on. Well I just heard it and she has been past 4 yrs now....and even though I'm grown...it still hurts. But I remember her well... Sniff.😢

This song is the entire premise of the film. A new era for her great niece she wants Gigi to find real love her soumlate. She is also sarcastic and her timing is great. He is still stuck on the old school way of thinking. Have many superficial moments with his courtesean. His nephew woke up and realized he has been in love with GIgi forever.

One of many memorable songs , from the wonderful Lerner and Loewe musical , ' Gigi ' !

[@naomiperreira1809]

Oh what a great song, and two of the finest actors there ever was in one of the very best musical of all times. Aw, yes, I remember it well, GIGI Leslie Caron, Louis Jourdan, Hermione Gingold, and Maurice Chevalier, Eva Gabor, and Isabel Jeans. "Thank Heaven for little girls get bigger every day. Thank Heaven for little girls grow up in the most delightful way"....

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Thanks, naomiperreira1809 for the 'credit list' And yes, you singled out the other great show-stopper from Gigi. With the refrain: Those little eyes so helpless, and appealing ... one day will 'flash' and send you crashing through the ceiling!" [and] "Without them, what would little boys do."

[@davebowker1113]

Maurice Chevalier such an entertainer. Even after his English was perfect with no accent at all- He still spoke with it because he knew that what the public perceived him as.....

[@jochenstossberg5427]

Yes, when the film started shooting Maurice said to Alan Lerner, 'How French do you want me to be Alan? Mildly or incomprehensible?"

[@nhmooytis7058]

I have loved this movie since I saw it in the theatre, I was 7! I fell in love with Gaston but wished Honore was my grandpa!

[@FranssensM]

Ah, wonderful. Better times.

[@sigunat]

This song remembers me my parents, arguing everytime but they loved each other... til the end.

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

She left us wanting more. For instance, I wanted to hear Gingold sing the entire Cole Porter catalog. Couldn't you just hear the humor she'd bring out in Porter's "Let's call the whole thing off"? Am I the only one who caught Gingold spoofing her British accent in "I remember it well'? A great legend who left us much too soon!

[@robsieger1886]

Hermione Gingold was almost 90 when she died.

[@michelleyoung7375]

I had the honor of meeting her when I was a little girl. She was very gracious and as lovable offstage as she was on.

[@michaelcornett444]

"Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" was Gershwin, but yes, it would have been lovely to hear her sing it, and BOTH the Porter and Gershwin catalogs. And throw in some Irving Berlin for the heck of it...

Pure gold! Two old lovers reminiscing about their love affair when they were young. The actor and actress were giants in the golden age of movies. They left us this precious musical gift.

[@Spherian7]

I woke up this morning and for some unknown reason found myself trying to "remember" this tune. So I dialed it up, but couldn't get past the first few lines without shedding some tears thinking about these two beautiful people from so long ago left us so long ago.

[@texasred2702]

Don't cry for them, they had some amazing times, both lived to ripe old ages and spent their lives being lauded and paid to do what they loved. I can't think of a better way to live. And don't cry for yourself, thanks to the art of cinema, you're able to enjoy their talent long after they've passed away.

[@Spherian7]

@@texasred2702 I appreciate that. Thanks.. and as Jesus replied to the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well when he asked her to draw him some water and she asked him if it was right for a Jew to have anything to do with a Sanaritan, "IIf you knew who is asking of you, you would ask of him and i would give you the water that wellls up to eternal life," Have a great day, friend

[@Unownshipper]

Makes me think of my grandparents, reunited once again. It makes me a little sad but it makes me smile too.

[@michaelcornett444]

I love this. The characters were once in love, but that has passed...but they're still deeply fond of one another. He looks back on their time with tenderness, and she affectionately teases him before making it clear she feels the same way. Might they fall in love again? Probably not, but anything is possible. And they both play it so well, they're really believable as former lovers who may not be IN love anymore but certainly have a different love for each other now.

[@bobcohen1730]

lovely and poignant, for all its surface humor.

[@frannyzooey11]

Bob Cohen Yes I agree. Having a good sense of humor is essential in life.

[@christinepaige2575]

Beautifully done. For me, that gorgeous sky has always been almost as important to this scene as the tender song -- and the way the scene segues to Gaston and Gigi on the beach (not shown here) is very moving. The torch being lovingly passed to the younger ones.

[@bradfordbarrettluckotheIrish]

I love it and ahh yes, I remember it well!

[@donna7507]

I always thought this was from Gigi!!?? I went to Google but it said an American in Paris!!??? I can't believe Google had it WRONG???

[@HaroldSink]

This was probably my favorite song when I was a kid watching this for the first time. I understood it because, I would listen to my grandparents talk about when they were young, and sometimes they would stop and correct themselves. Listening to it made we wonder what I would be like at that age.

[@abneryokum]

The momentary look of sadness on Chevalier's face at around 1:44/1:45. Brilliant.

[@Corinthian44]

What polish , and elegance from these two masters . I am rather out of touch with the modern scene , but I doubt we have performers around now , who could perform this song with such style .

[@kenanderson66]

I like this for its general insights into the sexes. Women put up with all kinds of stories, inaccuracies, blunders and foolishness on the part of their husbands, spouses, lovers. Yet how eagerly a man will listen to a generic description of youth, vitality, and charm and immediately think she has recalled him perfectly. It's a lovely little interlude that demonstrates it's not usually women who are wooed by flattery in the face of facts, but men.

[@aliced7505]
