Wissenswertes
Fred Astaire's character is based on photographer Richard Avedon and his wife, Doe, who, like the character "Jo Stockton," became a noted model despite her indifference toward that profession. In fact, it is Avedon who set up most of the photography for this film, including the famous face portrait of Audrey Hepburn unveiled during the darkroom sequence.

Patzer
After Dick kisses Jo and leaves the bookstore, Jo begins to sing "How Long Has This Been Going On". As she sings to herself while looking at the mirror in the supposedly empty bookstore, someone is reflected in the mirror moving around on the second floor of the bookstore.

Zitate
Dick Avery: When I get through with you, you'll look like... What do you call beautiful? A tree. You'll look like a tree.

Crazy Credits
The opening credits, designed by film consultant Richard Avedon, consist of traditional film credit display interspersed with live action, fashion models and photographic film.

Alternative Versionen
Kay Thompson is shown singing "do some window shopping in the Rue de la Paix" in pouring rain, carrying an open umbrella. The version shown in the final film was shot in brilliant sunshine with the umbrella left closed!

Good-natured musical

FUNNY FACE is notable as a colourful '50s-era music teaming the talents of two of the best-known stars of all time, Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn. In this film, whose story feels like an earlier version of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, Astaire and Hepburn consummate a May-December relationship when they're brought together by chance.

Hepburn stars as one of those unbelievable mousy characters - here a bookshop assistant - who's transformed into an ultra-glamorous model when she goes to Paris for a photo shoot. Astaire is the top-of-his-game photographer, and much of the film gets by on their easy charm.

Of course, there are there requisite song-and-dance numbers to enjoy, and a storyline that's never too heavy or too much. In all, it's just right, and old hand Stanley Donen brings plenty to the production with his assured direction. A very good-natured and pleasing effort.
