Dancing + Music + Hepburn = Great Film
Added 7/18/2009
Funny Face was just fun to watch, if you like the style of movies in its time period. The only weird part of the movie is the age difference between Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn. Otherwise, it was a joy to watch.

Quality is great! The only problem I don't like was the case, its so thin. I wish is was in a better package.

Audrey in those gorgeous gowns! Fred and his elegant style! Paris, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the swans, the doves, the singing and dancing! It doesn't get any better than this!

Audrey never looked better

Hepburn is simply stunning in this film, set in the world of high fashion. Audrey plays Jo, a lovesick bookworm who meets photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) when he chooses her bookstore as the site of his latest fashion shoot. Jo thinks the concept of modeling is absurd and scolds Dick for making a career out of shooting vapid women. When her protests become too much she's thrown out of her own shop by Maggie (Kay Thompson), the editor of the magazine Dick works for. With the shoot complete and the store a complete mess Dick stays behind to help Jo straighten up. Jo explains her philosophy about life to Dick and tells him that she'd do anything to go to Paris, and attend a lecture by her favorite philosopher. Dick tells her that one of the perks of his job is a yearly trip to Paris. This proves to be too irresistible for Jo to turn down when Dick asks her to be the face of the latest ad campaign Maggie is putting together. Off the trio go to the City of Lights where much romance, song and dance, and photo shoots await them. Hepburn's years of dance training are on full display here in several elaborate and exciting numbers. The best one takes place in a smoky, Beatnik cafe. Outfitted in a body hugging black outfit Audrey seductively slinks around the bandstand. Jo's photo shoots are equally as eye catching, since she is outfitted in gorgeous Givenchy gowns. A romance slowly builds between Dick and Jo that grows uncertain as the film progresses. The last act loses momentum due to too many back to back dance numbers and the romance angle. Astaire and Thompson save things though when they pose as a married couple from Tallahassee and perform an amusing song and dance in the hopes of rescuing Jo from the home of the philosopher. "Funny Face", does a fantastic job of balancing the laughs, romance, and music. It's a great film that features an unforgettable performance from a never better Audrey Hepburn.
