Film Review- Funny Face

Ok, so you all know that I love Audrey, and so I thought I'd do another review on one of her films. Funny Face is a great film- directed by Stanley Donen, starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire- I mean what more could you want?! It's not as well known as Breakfast at Tiffany's, and it's a musical, but I really love it! So, here's my review on one of the best films from the fifties...

Funny Face (1957)

Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn) is an ordinary girl who works in a bookstore. She loves books and philosophy, and really wants to meet philosopher Professor Floster in Paris. Her life is fairly ordinary until Quality Magazine editor Maggie Prescott and photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) barge into her bookstore with clothes to photograph on one of their models. Maggie wanted an intellectual background for her latest photo shoot, and she got one! After throwing Jo out of the shop and totally trashing it, she apologises and makes her way back to Quality HQ.
After proccessing the photos, Dick comes to Maggie with a great idea. Maggie wants a Quality woman; a girl with grace, elegance and pizzaz to appear in all the photos for her magazine.
At first, Maggie thinks Dick's idea is proposterous, but after reviewing the situation, she agrees.
"It's decided then- Jo Stockton can be the Quality woman!" she exclaims.
After a bit of persuading, Jo agrees to model for Maggie, and soon falls in love with Dick after a modelling trip to Paris. Soon, Dick realises that he and Jo were meant to be together...
