Danièle Delorme vs. Leslie Caron

I thought Danièle Delorme was superb in this adaption of GIGI; she was so incredibly natural and utterly believable as the still quite innocent young girl, Leslie Caron was too much a woman in the MGM classic, I never bought her as a teenager much less in her early teens. On the other hand, Delorme was superb, completely girlish. I was shocked to see on IMDb she was 23 at the time of this movie; I totally believed her as a teenager.
