As is typical for me, this latest sighting took place when I was half-watching an old movie over my morning coffee. Also typical for me, I'd seen this movie before, but never noticed the 'Gigi' furniture pieces in it, although I might be forgiven for not noticing a 10 second scene.
In that brief scene, three of the chairs put in an appearance, although two of them are admittedly rather blurry.
This brings the total of films in which pieces of the furniture set appear to seventeen, although the first is a bit of a cheat, because they don't appear in the finished film; they only appear in set stills:
"Marie Antoinette" (1938)
"Ninotchka" (1939)
"New Moon" (1940)
"Reunion in France" (1942)
"We Were Dancing (1942)
"Meet Me in St. Louis" (1944)
"Mrs. Parkington" (1944)
"Madame Bovary" (1949)
"An American in Paris" (1951)
"Kind Lady" (1951)
"Scaramouche (1952)
"Rhapsody" (1954)
"The Swan" (1956)
"Gigi" (1958)
"Two Weeks in Another Town" (1962)
"Made in Paris" (1966)
"Fitzwilly" (1967)
