Lili

(1953)

Synopsis

A fetching 16-year-old French orphan (Best Actress nominee Leslie Caron) joins a carnival after her father's death and finds a home with a curious puppet show, where the embittered puppeteer shows contempt for her but secretly falls for the young lady. Bronislau Kaper's score, which includes the lilting "Hi-Lili-Hi-Lo," won an Academy Award.
