I watched the film again yesterday evening. Right after the scene between Alicia in her bathtub and Mamita, Gigi is at home alone awaiting Gaston's arrival. Previn's instrumental arrangement of "I Remember It Well" begins to evoke (for me anyway) "Our Language of Love". Check it out and you'll see what I mean.

Previn also did the score for the non-musical movie of Irma La Douce (which incorporated many of Monnot's melodies) five years AFTER Gigi.

And a big piece of Sweeney's "Kiss Me" is eerily the same note run as the Dynasty Theme. I've never stopped hearing it. And "Candyman" is also "No One Is Alone" (remember that discussion?) And a piece of "But Alive" in Applause is also the (now excised) "Telephone Song" in Cabaret. On it goes.
