DVD Reviews of Funny Face - Paramount Centennial Collection
DVD Review: Dancing + Music + Hepburn = Great Film
Summary: 4 Stars
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.DVD Review: Funny face

Summary: 4 Stars
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. DVD Review: Funny Face

Description of Funny Face - Paramount Centennial Collection
A FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER TURNS A GREENWICH VILLAGE BOOKWORM INTO A PARIS COVER GIRL.Fred Astaire plays a fashion photographer based on real-life cameraman Richard Avedon, in this entertaining musical directed by Stanley Donen (Singin' in the Rain). The story finds Astaire's character turning Audrey Hepburn into a chic Paris model--not a tough premise to buy, especially within this film's air of enchantment and surrounded by a great Gershwin score. Based on an unproduced play, this is one of the best films from the latter part of Astaire's career. --Tom Keogh
