About the album:
This is one of the last Chet Baker (trumpet) long players recorded in the States prior to the artist relocating to Europe in the early '60s. Likewise, the eight-tune collection was the final effort issued during his brief association with the Riverside Records imprint. The project was undoubtedly spurred on by the overwhelming success of the Shelly Manne-led combo that interpreted titles taken from the score to My Fair Lady (1956). In addition to becoming an instant classic, Manne's LP was also among of the best-selling jazz platters of all time.
While Baker and crew may have gained their inspiration from Manne, these readings are comparatively understated. That said, the timelessness of the melodies, coupled with the assembled backing aggregate, make Chet Baker Plays the Best of Lerner and Loewe a memorable concept album.

The title of that tune doesn't look great in 2023 ?

How so?

I understand just what you mean, but... you've got to remember that it was originally sung by Maurice Chevalier in the delightful, " GIGI", and so, back in those long ago days, the implicit connotation was completely altogether different !
Understand that back then, the "skin rippers" who were into "shorteyes" usually got caught and were dealt with, ... HARSHLY !!
