Member Rating:  
The Gift was based on Bankers Also Have Souls, a play by Valme and Terzolli. To honor retiring co-worker Gregoire (Pierre Mondy), a group of bank employees pool their money and purchase a farewell gift: gorgeous prostitute Barbara (Clio Goldsmith). Since Gregoire is married to the luscious Antonella (Claudia Cardinale), one wonders what planet his friends have been on the past few years. Though it promises a great deal, The Gift is basically harmless and, at times, humorless. The film works best when it eschews sniggling sexiness and concentrates on personalities. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    i recall how kindly I felt toward the Barbara character when I saw her decide to leave gregoire far better than she found him, to infuse him with the veneer of class and competence: how to dress confidently, how to talk to dealmakers as an equal- neither of which he could do previous to "picking up" barbara on the train.
