Funny Face is a very entertaining movie. It stars Audrey Hepburn as Jo
and Fred Astaire as Dick a photographer. It also has Kay Thompson as
Maggie, a fashion magazine editor. These three characters do very well
together. The editor has her eccentricities with lipstick, and a
grating voice, but by the end of grows on you. The model, who really
doesn't want to be a model, but wants to go to Paris to meet her hero
of philosopher of empathic thinking. And the photographer, who is all
business, but is able to keep the model going and performing. Over
time, Jo falls in love with Dick. Dick finally realizes he returns this
love when Jo spends too much time with our philosopher friend. Dick
gives upon everything and is headed back to New York.
The music is by George and Ira Gershwin. However the music is mostly
forgetable. What is not forgetable is the dance, by both Fred Astaire
and Audrey Hepburn. Also what is fantastic is the modeling by Audrey
Hepburn. She was a model before becoming a movie star
