More on Lili
Description from Wikipedia:
Lili (1953) is an American film. Considered one among many classic MGM releases, it stars Leslie Caron as a touchingly naïve French girl, whose emotional relationship with a carnival puppeteer is conducted through the medium of four puppets. The screenplay by Helen Deutsch was adapted from "The Man Who Hated People," a short story by Paul Gallico which appeared in the October 28, 1950 issue of The Saturday Evening Post . Following the film's success, Gallico expanded his story into a 1954 novella entitled The Love of Seven Dolls.
It won the Academy Award for Original Music Score and was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Caron), Best Art Direction-Set Decoration (Color), Best Cinematography (Color), Best Director (Charles Walters) and Best Original Screenplay.
Leslie Caron and Mel Ferrer's rendition of "Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo" was released as a single and became a minor hit, reaching #30 on the pop music charts.
The film was adapted for the stage under the title Carnival.
