| Leslie Caron stars as an innocent young girl, a vulnerable orphan waif who finds a home with the puppet show in a traveling circus--and the love of a man who, at first, can only open his heart through the deeds and words of his marionettes--Lili. Set adrift in life at the age of 16, young Lili (Caron) finds a home and a job with the circus ... and loses her heart to a dashing magician (Jean Pierre Aumont). But Lili is just another conquest for the magician, who returns to his wife (Zsa Zsa Gabor). The marionettes, however, console and care for Lili with a tenderness that slowly reawaken love within the young woman. |
