I love this movie so much

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Still my favourite Audrey Hepburn. Wish we had more female leads that were like her today. What a movie star. So elegant. A True ballerina always.

Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire and Kay Thompson are all fabulous and perfectly cast. Great music with great singing and dancing. Thompson's character sings 'Think Pink' then claims she wouldn't be caught dead in it. Half an hour later in the film, guess what she's wearing? Pink! Great film, watching it now as I write this.

This movie reminds how beautiful Paris is. Paris 50 years ago was nothing different from 21st except from the old cars and gorgeous vintage film color. Movie scenes were exactly like vintage postcards and lots of scenes are symbolic. French are described as crazy and over dramatic or even traumatic people. Audrey Hepburn as usual has a delicious performance, an innocent and very lady-like which makes men both crazy and crazy in love.A classic movie to be watched in Valentine's day and especially if you are in Paris, it will certainly raise your mood up. If not the case, its melodious and simple spirit wouldn't cause you any bad...

Funny Face (1957): Dir: Stanley Donen / Cast: Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, Kay Thompson, Michel Auclair, Robert Flemyng: Free spirited musical celebrating expression but from two angles. First there is the fashion magazine that reduces everything to pink yet the editor herself refuses to wear it. It is the two-faced side of expression whereas the bookkeeper, played by Audrey Hepburn represents genuine innocence. She is reluctantly flown to Paris where she basks herself in the shallow with only a photographer, played by Fred Astaire to shed any real joy. Director Stanley Donen uses dazzling colours to highlight the freedom of Paris but this is not the masterpiece that his Singin' in the Rain is. The dance numbers are flashy and inviting but the film is overrated, particularly from a narrative perspective. Hepburn brings out the innocence and longing for what is true and good. Fred Astaire plays a photographer inspired by her nature but his scenes falter due to musical numbers that are often long drawn and pointless. It also doesn't help matters that the concluding romance is corny and absurd. To elevate supporting roles Kay Thompson steals scenes as fashion editor with witty dialogue. Michel Auclair plays a professor of philosophy whom Hepburn will see in a totally different light. Theme regards the phoniness of the profession and the ordinary qualities missed behind the lens. Score: 6 ½ / 10
