Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Funny Face (1957)
In a musical romp around New York and Paris, Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn find love, despite personal differences in lifestyle and philosophy. A lovely story told delicately and wonderfully, with a marvellous score by George and Ira Gershwin, breath-taking dance routines by Fred Astaire, and singing that will tug on your heartstrings. A must for anyone with a feeling heart!
--Alexys Sweeney, Resident Scholar

A 1957 romantic,high-fashion musical shot in Paris by the great Stanley Donen. About modeling,excellent performance by Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire.
Film showed great fashion sense,one of the most memorable part was about Think pink.

--Jenny, Resident Scholar
