The purest expression of Donen's inimitable musical style, Funny Face is simultaneously joyful and elegant, sentimental and funny, lavish and restrained. The film's expressive color palette, stunning widescreen compositions and wonderfully evocative set design culminate in a giddy montage sequence of the transformed Hepburn modeling Givenchy's latest styles across a dream-like Paris.

Audrey Hepburn does indeed fill the air with smiles in Stanley Donen's exquisite and happy film about a shy book clerk in New York who is transformed into the toast of the Paris fashion world. George and Ira Gershwin wrote some of their best songs for the film and a few additional numbers were contributed by Roger Edens and Leonard Gershe, who also wrote the delightful story. The premise is quite frivilous but the execution glorious and joyful and it is easy to see why this was Audrey's favorite among all her films.

Fred Astaire is winning as fashion photographer Dick Avery and Kay Thompson is marvelous as Miss Prescott, the one-track mind owner of Quality Magazine he works for. Hepburn is adorable as the shy New York bookstore clerk, Jo Stockton. They bully her into letting them do a photo shoot, making a mess off things for her to clean up. From the moment Donen's camera catches her sliding on the ladder in panic we are in love and we know it won't be long before Jo and Dick are also.

Jo is a shy intellectual, mad about empathicalism, a screwy philosophy endorsed by Professor Emile Flustre (Michel Auclair) who, of course, lives in Paris. Once Dick displays his own brand of empathy by kissing Jo while they are cleaning up, he gets an idea for a new layout and the seed of love is planted in Jo's heart. Donen captures Hepburn's child-like yet feminine grace like no one else ever has and her wistful and waif-like beauty has never been seen to better advantage than in Funny Face.

Making Jo the face for Quality magazine may not be such an easy task, however, as it goes against everything she believes. Being chased by Miss Prescott's minions, Jo ducks into Dick's darkroom, where she and Dick share a lovely song and dance moment to the title-tune, Funny Face. Once Jo discovers it will all lead to Paris, where she can meet the great empathicalist, Emile, she gives the green light and the fun really begins.

Stanley Donen staged every song himself, and it shows. That moment that nearly always exists in every musical, even the great ones, when we are tempted to fast-forward and get on with the story, simply does not exist here. Every number is lively and imaginative, easily holding our interest. None of the numbers is more joyful or fun than the one when they first arrive in Paris and become typical tourists. Ray June's photography shows off the beautiful City of Lights and the funny and happy face of Audrey Hepburn in wonderful fashion.

It is like watching a great chef make the sweetest and most delicious of pastries as Dick takes Jo through one great shoot after another all over Paris, transforming the cocoon into a butterfly. The two share a lovely song sequence in a garden with a brook outside a church, when Jo finally tells Dick she is in love with him. Hepburn in a white wedding gown is as elegant and graceful as the doves and swans surrounding them.

There are some fun complications involving Jo's idol Emile, of course, who Dick knows is more man than philosopher. A fun and frantic ending caps a film that is a sheer delight from beginning to end. Astaire was somewhat older than Hepburn and it seems to work in the film's favor, as you could see where the innocent Jo would need a more worldly man to appreciate her charms rather than take advantage of them.

This is a wonderful confection from Stanley Donen, who would work with Audrey once again in another classic, Charade. The little girl from Holland who aided the Dutch resistence during WWII grew into one of the most lovely and luminous stars ever to grace a movie screen. She is gone now and Funny Face is a wonderful way to remember her......

5.0 out of 5 stars A Film That Lives Up to Its Tag Line: S' Wonderful, S' Marvelous
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2014

Music by the Gershwins, costumes by Edith Head and Hubert de Givenchy, choreography by Fred Astaire, direction by Stanley Donen, luminescence by Audrey Hepburn- what's not to love about "Funny Face"? This Blu-ray import from the UK is truly wonderful and its content from the last great decade of American studio musicals is truly marvelous.
When this film's star Audrey Hepburn began her film career, she had serious daddy issues on screen as a result of the choices made by her handlers. Fresh from her Oscar triumph in "Roman Holiday" (1953), Audrey was cast in "Sabrina" (1954), opposite two fellow Oscar winners, Humphrey Bogart and William Holden, one considerably older than she, the other not so much. In "Funny Face" (1957), Fred Astaire is definitely in the daddy category as was her co-star Gary Cooper in "Love in the Afternoon", made the same year. The pattern of putting the screen's eternal gamine opposite aging male superstars reached its apotheosis in "Charade" (1963), returning Audrey to Paris and her favorite designer Givenchy in the company of Cary Grant. In that film, the May-November romance is both mocked and fulfilled.
The formulae of classic American romantic comedy decreed the union of the above the title stars by film's end and so it is with "Funny Face". Audrey is afforded the opportunity to learn from America's foremost male film dancer, Astaire, in this eye-poppingly colorful rendition of classic Gershwin songs, grounded in an Oscar nominated, flimsy but serviceable script by Leonard Gershe. Hepburn and Astaire ("He Loves and She Loves") must end up together, but the Astaire character's true soul mate is editor-in-chief Maggie Prescott, played with razor sharp wit and panache by Kay Thompson in a rare film performance.
Talk about strong women : the real life Anna Wintour and the fictional Miranda Priestly of "The Devil Wears Prada"(2006) would be docile and conciliatory in comparison to the Kay Thompson character. No wonder she's shocked when Astaire announces his love for Hepburn. While many in the audience would share such a sentiment, lethal ambition, the desire to dominate ("Think Pink"), and impeccable taste have combined to make both editor and photographer the apogee of American fashion in the film's stylistic universe.
The film itself has been beautifully transferred to Blu-ray, using British spellings for the English subtitles (there are loads of aural options) and a tin ear for American slang ("bozazz" for "pizzazz"). While the quality of the flesh tones varies, none is particularly disturbing. The color palette (black was and still is the hipster color) and sound mixing are very true to the 1950's, with Donen's "Singin' in the Rain" (1952) being the template and Minnelli's "Gigi" (1958), the last hurrah.
The Parisian locations and the gorgeous costumes are worth are the purchase price by themselves. Those who have plowed through Jean Paul Sartre's "Being and Nothingness", either in the original French or in English translation, will hopefully have the sense of humor requisite to appreciate existentialist thought simplified into empathicalist feeling and its philosopher priest into a classic French roue.
"Bonjour Paris" says it all- bonjour tous les artistes in the making of this exquisite film.

The movie that played was not "Funny Face" starring Audrey Hepburn. It might have been a movie of the same name. It was a "revealing" movie about a shy man from Brooklyn who wore a Halloween mask even when it wasn't Halloween and his relationship with a young woman whose face, initially, was hidden by a burka(?).

Bonjour,
l'état du DVD d'occasion est très correct.
J'ai eu une appréciable surprise à l'intérieur du DVD.
4 magnifiques affiches cartonnées collector du film éditées sous la forme d'une carte postale sont présentes dans ce DVD.
C'est peut-être normal puisque ce DVD est une édition spéciale mais en tout cas elles sont bien conservées et esthétiquement agréables à regarder.
Je le recommande pour les amateurs du genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Troumph for all Concerned
Reviewed in Canada on October 7, 2010

This is the very best of the Audrey Hepburn-as-Cinderella movies. For one thing she is in her prime as a beauty and is still in shape for dancing. Her sophisticated charm meshes well with the worldliness of Astaire who plays the stand-in for production designer Richard Avedon. Shot on locations all over Paris and environs the film bubbles with American pep. It is a satire on the fashion magazine as well as on existentialism. It never falters or loses the right tone. All this must be put down to Stanley Donen, whose movies show him as witty and inventive. The songs are standards, the glimpses of Paris in 1956 are mouth watering, and this digital remastering is about as good as it gets short of an original VistaVision print. Many of the great MGM musicals came out of the collaborations of the Freed Unit. Donen, a graduate of that unit, singlehandedly transplants all of its dazzling skills to this movie, made under the auspices of Paramount and partially shot in France. A source of inexhaustible pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Look musical
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 22, 2003

Although first impressions may suggest this is a slight offering, "Funny Face" holds up as one of the best fifties musicals on repeated viewing. Inspired by the chic fashion world of renowned photographer Richard Avedon and Dior's new look, Audrey Hepburn plays Jo, a drab Greenwich Village bookshop assistant and philosophy student who is spotted by Astaire's photographer as the ideal new face for the cover of "Quality" magazine. Before she knows it, Hepburn has been whisked off to Paris for fashion fittings and photos, with the proviso that she can also attend some philosophy lectures with a renowned exponent of "Empathicalism".
The Parisian scenes are pure tourist chocolate box and none the worse for it - especially when Astaire gets to dance an impromptu Spanish routine under Hepburn's balcony. Thanks to the DVD release, we're now able to see all three leads in the split screen sequence where they explore Paris. Kay Thompson is a vital force as Maggie, the editor of Quality magazine, who commands "Think Pink" at the start of the show. Hepburn can't really sing but boy does she dance well in a Parisian beatnik bar! Other excellent Gershwin songs such as the title song, "S'Wonderful" and "Ring dem Bells" (the latter a great comic routine for Dick and Maggie as they infiltrate the philosopher's salon disguised as Florida spiritualists) all conspire to make this as effervescent as pink champagne. I think it eclipses Astaire's "The Bandwagon" from the same period, which was largely based around two songs, "Thats Entertainment" and "Triplets". Sure, its hard to believe Hepburn would fall for Astaire, given the age gap, but I thought musicals were all about suspension of disbelief anyway! Treat yourself and check this little gem out.

Reviewed in France on January 14, 2015

« Drôle de frimousse » (« Funny Face ») est un film musical de Stanley Donen, tourné en 1957. Sur un argument assez simple et léger : Joëlle (Audrey Hepburn), un jeune employée d'une librairie de Greenwich Village entichée de philosophie, est repérée par le photographe Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) puis embauchée par la redoutable Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson), rédactrice en chef de Quality Magazine, pour devenir le mannequin vedette, à Paris, de la collection du grand couturier Paul Duval. La jeune fille mal fagotée et à la drôle de frimousse est alors en passe de devenir une véritable icône de mode. Dans un Paris de cartes postales, une romance naissante anime les relations entre Joëlle et Dick, mais la fascination de la jeune fille pour les thèses avant-gardistes et « empathicalistes » du professeur Emile Flostier (Michel Auclair) vient perturber l'aventure.

Le film enchaine des scènes très rythmée, amusantes et sans prétention, avec de magnifiques passages chantées et dansés avec une relative sobriété. Le charme d'Audrey Hepburn éclate dès les premières scènes d'un film qui donne une grande place à son sourire éclatant. Fred Astaire, dans un rôle inspiré par le célèbre Roger Avedon, affiche une belle assurance et une toute aussi belle voix. Kay Thompson est remarquable dans son personnage de directrice tyrannique (au point que la Miranda Priestly du « Diable s'habille en Prada » semble avoir inspiré par elle). C'est sans doute l'absence de prétentions, au profit d'une histoire romantique à souhait qui fait tout le charme du film qui, au passage, porte un regard d'une amusante ironie sur les intellectuels et les artistes du quartier Saint Germain des Prés.

Quelques scènes sont particulièrement réussies, notamment la suite de séquences consacrées aux séances de photos dans des lieux emblématiques de Paris, la réunion des empathicalistes ou la scène finale en robe de mariée. « Drôle de frimousse » reste avant tout marqué par la fabuleuse élégance d'Audrey Hepburn et la gaité simple des passages chantés du film.

Les bonus du DVD proposent une gaerie de photos et un reportage sur la Paramount, dans les années 1950.
