He grew up extremely poor alomost a youth without light, family breaking apart, drunkeness..and although he looked back in horror at this life in his personal life he later copied many of the vices he deplored in this home. Audrey Meadows recalls his office full of books on psychology, hypnotism..trying to retrieve memories that would make his life clear..like a looking glass to see the world at large...he was on tv the great entertainer from the early fifties to 1970..he started at warners after Jack warner saw his stand up and offered him$500/wk..as a bit player was he worth that $$..his show was a show of many comic characterizations tuned to tv and the Miami audience live, the cast rehearsed he didnt...in his office with a bottle of champagne..all those jokes of living it up..go back to his youth..now the standup and the tv comic..make the transition to film..having grown up in film on sets..he watched great movie stars..up close..watched and learn...and he still is the poor soul..the Chaplin type character like the KID..which this film resembles..but its curtailed and refined for film..is Bob Hope so good..are steve martin eddie murphy..Robin Williams..who also come from different entertainment mediums are faced with the same problem and at times lost they may appear deadpan or wooden..its a difficult problem for the actor..and here we have the lower class person living in the basement..not upstairs..dark and gloomy surroundings and like the later child he interacts with the animal world like the later child but not the prostitue..he picks up stray animals acts out a scene in a bar(good stuff and act) and from animals a prostitute and wayward little girl..and places all his attention on the girl..the little girl and forgets his own world and life and exists in her world and environment..and there is a carnival scene where the clown comes in..by the way this movie is in France not the U.S.and eventually the prostitute leaves..removes herself from his environment and as she sais "care" just the girl remains and the basement collapses..a symbol of his world and he elaborates his own death..the town believes him dead..and later they see him alive..the town who hates him..and chases him away..there are also many religious scenes and he tries to instruct the little girl in the suffering image of jesus,,the mystical world of religion..dealing with suffering..and there's a funeral he attends at the start..of a community person who is a symbol of apatriot cleaning up his community and dedicated to service..who later dies at the war front..as he too dies and a film's end..fakes a death..and later dies a pseudo death..at the hands of the town and all he stands for..chased out of the city..abandoned..a similar film is Papa's little Dividend..see also Requiem for a Heavyweight,Ski Doo and How to Commit Marriage..how about How Do I LOve Thee..after his show ended he did many character films but the dont stand up to his 60's starring film roles too few in number unfortunately..really a talented performer who was taught early in films and learned, part of his mystical nature, a great entertainer since he could do so much on stage..and really took his cue from the audience ..MIAMI BEACH..on the old show a cyclist crashes against a wall and on the other side sees a poster for GIGOT..and the crowd applauds..I doubt it was much of a success outside of Miami..he had trouble financing..he probably paid out to make it..I'm not sure..the prestigious film company Seven Arts helped finance and produced it..a great film performance...from someone who started out in stage and films he wasnt really able to portray the romantic chaplin type character for lack of opportunity..although we see some of it in HOw do I Love Thee..he achieved great personal success but his personal life fell apart and continually came crashing down leading to personal excesses and frequent hospitalizations..GIGOT about finding a home was a lifelong endeavor of his and battling loneliness, finding intimacy.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resolution *by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2022* Been looking for a good copy with good resolution and your Gigot DVD has both, Thanks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/4457916-gigot](https://www.desertcart.be/products/4457916-gigot) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
