| 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!

Film showed great fashion sense,one of the most memorable part was about Think pink.
