Paris, the City of Light, shines even brighter when Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire team up and bring their luminious star power to this dazzling, Gershwin-tune-filled romp -- now presented as a two-disc Paramount Centennial Collection edition! Hepbrun is Jo Stockton, the shy, reluctant Greenwich Villiage bookstore clerk who is transformed into a modeling sensation by Fred Astaire, the fashion photographer who discovers her and grooms her for stardom. Kay Thompson adds to the fun as Maggie Prescott, the publisher and editor of Quality magazine, who agrees that Jo has the "new" and "fresh" qualities Prescott seeks for her publication's new look. And who could resist undergoing a complete transformation, when Paris is the destination...and love is in the air? Timeless songs, glittering Parisian sets and Stanley Donen's skilled direction make FUNNY FACE a song-and-dance extravaganza that will delight and entertain you, now and forever!
"The eye is intoxicated with exquisite color designs and graphic production numbers that are rich in sensory thrills." -- Bosley Crowther, THE NEW YORK TIMES
