1957 (Stanley Donen) G, 103 min
Starring: Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, Kay Thompson

Editor Maggie Prescott (Thompson) goes in search of something new and fresh to put in her fashion magazine. With the help of her photographer, Dick Avery (Astaire), she finds her answer in a quiet, precocious, and ‘funny faced’ book clerk, Jo (Hepburn) working in a Greenwich Village bookshop. Dick and Maggie convince the unwitting Jo to be in their photo shoot, and eventually make her over into a cover girl. Certainly, it is difficult to imagine Audrey Hepburn as anything but graceful and glamorous, and yet Funny Face convinces us—if only for a moment—that she has been transformed from bookish to beautiful, from cynical to s’wonderful. From gorgeous silhouetted shots in Avery’s darkroom to Jo’s out-stretched arms greeting the Seine to the Parisian existentialist song and dance jazz number, Funny Face is a constant delight brimming with Gershwin. The outfits and songs may have aged slightly, but the story remains as contemporary as ever. Come out to the Revue to see just how d’lovely and delightful it truly is.
