Directed by the legendary Stanley Donen, who died this year at age 94, Funny Face is one of the most visually dazzling movies of the 1950s, a Paris-set musical featuring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire at their most charming. Featuring gowns by Hubert de Givenchy and a selection of beloved songs by George and Ira Gershwin (including “S’wonderful” and “How Long Has This Been Going On?”), Funny Face follows the transformation of Hepburn’s demure bookstore girl into a fashion icon, with the help of Astaire’s photographer (a character inspired by Richard Avedon). Funny Face continues to enchant audiences more than 60 years after its premiere.
