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.
