Curiosidades
This film bombed at the box office, not even making back its negative cost, resulting in a loss to MGM of $1,356,000 according to studio records.

Pifias
Even though the story takes place in 1944, once again MGM's indefatigably anachronistic designer, Helen Rose has clothed all the female participants in totally contemporary 1956 designs and fashions.

Citas
Gaby: Do you have a conscience?
Mrs. Helen Carrington: I keep that to myself, too.
Gaby: You hide the truth from the people you love?
Mrs. Helen Carrington: Yes. And I think that's why they love me. Oh, Gaby, anybody can tell the truth. It's a lot harder to be kind and tactful and considerate.

sanitised version of Waterloo Bridge

By the 1950s, remakes were very much the thing - 'Gaby', with Leslie Caron as the ballerina and John Kerr as the soldier, is the third film version of 'Waterloo Bridge' (first done with Mae Clarke and Kent Douglass in 1931, then with Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor in 1940). It's by far the most dull, even though it does make clear what Gaby has been up to while her beau was away at war.

Leslie Caron being the star, of course Gaby is now French, not English. John Kerr is a GI who finds himself at a loose end on leave in London. There's air raids to content with, foggy streets, and taxis, as well as Gaby's fellow dancer and roommate, and the GI's English well-heeled relations.

Sweet enough, but paling in comparison beside the other versions, both of whom have more merit. It's OK - but nothing special.
