Another weird pairing. Audrey should have been calling Fred Astaire grandpa. Why does Hollywood match young women with men so much older.

A Feel Good Film for Folks Recovering from WW II

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was about a year and half when this movie was released (1957), and I saw it on late night or Monday Night at the Movies reruns in the 1960s. Audrey Hepburn is luminous as always, showing her ability to capture a camera's gaze. She's a marvelous actress and not a bad dancer. Singing is not her forte. However, the social upheaval of and rise of feminism during the 1960s will leave many viewers with an icky feeling as they watch Audrey succumb to daddy issues in the arms of a really long-in-the-tooth Fred Astaire trying to be hip. The none too subtle digs at post-WW II French existentialism plus the old tropes of the testosterone driven French lover contrasted with the wholesome all-American boy (or old man in this case) probably irritated the French. On the other hand, Funny Face really shows a post-WW II Paris coming back to life, and if you have never visited the City of Light, you will see what it looked like then. I think every major attraction from Versailles to the Eiffel Tower gets a frame, so in many ways, the film was a travel agent's dream. And, for women wanting to reconnect with femininity through gorgeous clothes and well-applied make-up, the film fulfilled their every fantasy as Hepburn modeled Givenchy throughout the movie. Few watching this film in 1957 could afford couture clothing, but they could dream and buy knock-offs, erasing the memories of shortages and Rosie the Riveter chic from their memory. It's a nostalgic film with some classic Gershwin tunes and energetic choreography, including classic Astaire dance moves. Fifty-three years later the film puzzles most viewers with allusions to cultural trends that look silly today and a depiction of women that is really anachronistic. And, I agree with one reviewer who gave the film one star; the reviewer implored potential viewers to watch Audrey Hepburn's performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's, a truly remarkable film, her best. Then watch Funny Face. You will see the difference between a feel good film and a masterpiece. Funny Face is the 1950s version of La La Land, which fifty years from now may be an anachronism itself.

"Tell her if she's gotta think -- Think pink!"

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

Oh, how I love this musical. Somehow in the wake of the THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT movies, it got a little neglected -- though at heart it's an MGM movie filmed with the old Roger Edens unit, only at Paramount (1957), starring Audrey Hepburn against Fred Astaire. An intellectual Greenwich Village denizen (Audrey) is selected by a woman's fashion magazine editor (Kay Thompson) to go on assignment to Paris with famed photographer "Dick Avery," a slightly disguised Richard Avedon (Astaire). The Gershwin songbook includes "How Long Has This Been Going On?", "Clap Yo' Hands" and "Bonjour Paree," not to mention that jubilant ode to the Fifties most fashionable color, "Think Pink." Audrey gets to display her modern-dance chops in the beatnik-ish "Basal Metabolism." One of the great movie musicals. The current price is more than fair but if you want to test it out, the movie is a recurring presence on digital networks like "Movies!" or "this."

Disappointed.

Actors are cute but the movie is cheesy and acting is not at all believable. Audry Hepburn is pretty but her acting lacks real emotions. She is just making faces. Fake smiles and exaggerated happiness. Weird dancing as well. I liked her much more in other movies. Fred Aster is of cause charming. But only because he is Fred Aster and is always nice on-screen. :)

Fashion, Audrey Hepburn, beautiful cities and Fred Astaire dancing

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

I love anything that has Audrey Hepburn in it. I have always thought of her as a fashion icon of her era and an actress that was well-beloved. A 1950's movie that touched on a lot of things for that era; the gaiety of the period after WWII, the fashion from Paris and New York and the city of Paris (sigh). Audrey was 28, at this filming and Fred Astaire was 58. It was stunning how fabulous of a dancer he was even two years away from his 60s. It's harder to believe the romance, but I always find it hard to believe romance with that age difference even now. It doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. All filmed in Technicolor, the most beautiful color in color films.

A truly feel good film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is one of my all time favourite films. A feel good film from beginning to end, very loosely based on a real fashion photographer. Even though there's such an age difference between Hepburn and Astaire, somehow it still works. The music, by George and Ira Gershwin is great, and the costumes are spectacular. I bought the DVD with the cover shown. The sound was very good indeed, but the picture quality is a bit grainy and not sharp. I suppose it's because it's from the 1950s and it hasn't been digitally remastered (if that's the correct phrase). It's watchable but don't expect HD quality.

M.G.M. at Paramount

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

This film is essentially an M.G.M. musical even though it is a Paramount production it uses Stanley Donen who directed 'Singing In The Rain' and 'On The Town' for M.G.M. also Fred Astaire who made some of his finest musicals at M.G.M. ['The Band Wagon', 'Silk Stockings' and 'Easter Parade']. Audrey Hepburn is very good in this film and it is her best performance in a musical, this is probably because the movies that star Astaire are more dance orientated so it doesn't present a challenge for her limited vocal range [this would be exposed in 'My Fair Lady'] as for the dancing she was when she was younger trained in the ballet so she moves very gracefully and when she or Astaire are dancing the movie works beautifully. The movie is almost stolen from it's two stars by the performance of Kay Thompson who is magnificent as the dictatorial magazine editor and funnily enough the chemistry between her and Astaire is better than the chemistry between him and Hepburn. So what you have is an M.G.M. musical not made by M.G.M. but that does not detract from this light wonderful concoction.

I Love Your Sunny, Funny Face...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 3, 2011

Verified Purchase

Done in typical Hollywood 50's style, Funny Face is the story of a bookshop clerk (Audrey Hepburn) with a love for all things philosophical who happens to have a 'funny face'. She is discovered by a world-famous fashion photographer (wonderful Fred Astaire) who loves her 'sunny funny face' and thinks that she could be the biggest thing in fashion. He convinces his magazine editor (Kay Thompson) to take a chance on the girl, and bribing Hepburn with the chance to meet her philosophy lecturer idol, they whisk her off to the most fashionable city in the world - Paris!!

It was called by one reviewer 'a delightful mixture of intelligence and froth' which is exactly what it is. It's sheer entertainment like we don't have in today's cinema, with no pretence, just fun.

Audrey Hepburn is lovely as usual, and really gets to show off her dancing talent in the classic 'Basal Metabollism' sequence. She looks amazing in the Givenchy/Edith Head fashion of the day, the entire movie plays like a huge fashion show for her (which is always a plus).
Fred Astaire is charming and proves that he can still dance up a storm and croon a song even if the age difference between him and Hepburn is slightly unbelievable. But he charms you into forgetting all that.
Kay Thompson was really great as the magazine editor, loud and brassy and very funny.

The songs are Gershwin classics and are performed excellently by the entire cast. Audrey Hepburn charms her way through 'How Long Has This Been Going On?', Fred Astaire sings 'He Loves, She Loves' and dances another of his classic routines to the title song 'Funny Face'. And Kay Thompson gets to belt out 'Think Pink'.

But the most stunning aspect of this film really is the picture quality and technicolour. I have honestly never seen a better looking technicolour film. It's utterly beautiful and hasn't aged a single bit, from the dance to Funny Face in the developing room with only red lighting, to the underground cafe' in Paris lit by multicoloured lights.

A really nice, entertaining movie that is a rightful classic.

Highly entertaining

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2015

Remarkably good film and Fred is quite convincing as a professional photographer (I used to be one of those) as opposed to photographers in other films who clearly haven't a clue. It's a highly amusing film considering its age and Audrey is as curiously as alluring as ever whilst Fred can still dance a bit even though most people his age are usually feeling it whilst Fred seems completely impervious. I wasn't sure what to expect but having watched it once it awaits further delving.

Fashion on Blu Ray

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

This review focuses on the blu ray version of Funny Face. I've owned Funny Face on VHS for years and then on DVD which was a disappointment. The quality of the DVD was awful, especially the scene at the small church in France where Astaire dances with Audrey in her wedding dress. On Blu Ray that scene looks way better and sharper but suffers from a lack of better source material. But there are so many other scenes that look tremendous! The New York bookstore fashion shoot is a masterfully lit scene with amazing depth of field, which I never noticed before in other versions. Also the first scene in an office with the fashion magazine editor are outstanding as well; the colours pop like cotton candy! Other fantastic scenes which show great depth, colour and sharpness on Blu Ray are the Paris exteriors, the club scene when Audrey Hepburn dances like Michael Jackson in white socks or vice-versa; I would think. And of course the fashion sequences throughout, look amazing!. Funny Face doesn't seem just funny anymore, it's also serious film making.
