The bookshop salesgirl Jo Stockton Audrey Hepburn is accidentally found by the photograph Dick Avery Fred Astaire , who convinces the owner of the fashion magazine Quality, the powerful Maggie Prescott Kay Thompson , that she could be the new model she wants for the magazine.
Jo dreams on going to Paris to meet her guru, the philosopher Prof. Emile Flostre Michel Auclair , but she cannot afford to pay for the travel; therefore she sees in the invitation, the chance to visit Paris. Once there, Dick falls in love for her. Kay Thompson is also excellent. The problem is the silly screenplay that shows at least two great mistakes. The first one is the inconsistent and contradictory character Jo Stockton, presented as an intelligent and clever woman in the beginning, but later becoming absolutely shallow, acting like an irresponsible spoiled child.
The second big mistake is Fred Astaire 58 , thirty years old older than Audrey Hepburn 28 , therefore more than twice her age, as her romantic pair. This great actor looks like her father, and there is no romantic chemistry between them.
My vote is seven. FAQ 2. Is "Funny Face" based on a book? Was "Funny Face" actually filmed in Paris? Details Edit. Release date April 25, United Kingdom. United States. English French. Das rosarote Mannequin. Paramount Pictures. Box office Edit. Yes, please. Sure, neither Hepburn nor Astaire could really sing. And sure , the central message of the movie seems to be that young women with ideas about philosophy just need a makeover and one good metaphorical shag.
But Paris! And Givenchy! And Fred Astaire somehow making this high-waisted-pants-and-cardy combination work…kind of! This woman. They subsequently locate a bookstore named "Embryo Concepts".
Maggie and Dick take over Embryo Concepts, which is being run by the shy bookshop clerk and amateur philosopher, Jo Stockton Audrey Hepburn. Jo thinks the fashion and modeling industry is nonsense, saying: "it is chichi, and an unrealistic approach to self-impressions as well as economics". Maggie decides to use Jo in the first fashion shot, to give it a more intellectual look. After the first shot Maggie locks Jo out of the shop to shut her up. Jo wants more than anything else in the world to go to Paris and attend the famous philosopher and professor Emile Flostre's Michel Auclair lectures about empathicalism.
When Dick gets back to the dark room, he sees something in Jo's face which is "new" and "fresh", and which would be perfect for the campaign, giving it "character", "spirit", and "intelligence". They send for Jo and start treating her like a doll, trying to make her over, pulling at her clothes and attempting to cut her hair.
She rebels and runs away, only to hide in the darkroom where Dick is working. When Dick mentions Paris, Jo becomes very interested in that she would get a chance to see Professor Flostre, and is finally convinced to model.
Soon Maggie, Dick, and Jo are off to Paris to prepare for a major fashion event, shooting photos at famous landmarks from the area. During the various photo shoots Jo and Dick develop feelings for each other, and they fall in love. One night when Jo is getting ready for a gala, she learns that Professor Flostre is giving a lecture at a cafe nearby. She attends, forgetting the gala.
Eventually Dick finds her and they get into an argument, which involves Jo being publicly embarrassed and Maggie outraged. Jo goes to talk to Professor Flostre at his home. This eventually leads to Dick causing Flostre to fall and knock himself out.
