ABOUT THE FILM

Fashion photographer Dick Avery discovers Jo Stockton, an intelligent but reserved bookstore clerk whose natural beauty makes her an unlikely choice for the fashion world. Whisked away to Paris for a glamorous photo shoot, Jo finds herself navigating haute couture, unexpected romance, and the excitement of one of the world's most stylish cities.

Starring Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, and Kay Thompson, Funny Face combines timeless Gershwin music with spectacular fashion and stunning Parisian locations. Directed by Stanley Donen, the film remains one of Hollywood's most beloved musicals and is celebrated for its elegance, humour, and unforgettable visual style.

DID YOU KNOW?


  • During the song "How Long Has This Been Going On?", a crew member can be accidentally spotted moving around reflected in the mirror behind Audrey Hepburn. 

  • To secure both Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire for the lead roles, the producers told each actor that the other had already signed on, ensuring neither would turn down the project. 

  • Unlike many movie musicals of the era where actors were dubbed by professional singers, both Hepburn and Astaire performed all of their own vocals for the soundtrack.

  • Though it shares a title and its male star with the 1927 Broadway musical Funny Face, the film uses an entirely different plot and features only four of the original stage songs.
