Funny Face

(Stanley Donen, US 1957, 103 min.)

Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn team up in this musical satire of the fashion world. A Madison Avenue photographer (Astaire) stumbles across a dowdy New York bookseller (Hepburn) and turns her into the biggest model in Paris. Based loosely on the life of Richard Avedon (who served as a visual consultant), the movie spotlights Astaire’s elegant dancing to the songs of George and Ira Gershwin.
