Funny Face (6/9) Movie CLIP - The Big Reveal (1957) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Jo (Audrey Hepburn) appears in her new look, to the delight of Dick (Fred Astaire) and Maggie (Kay Thompson).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
This filmed version of the 1927 George Gershwin Broadway musical Funny Face utilizes the play's original star, Fred Astaire, and several of the original tunes, then goes merrily off on its own. Astaire is cast as as fashion photographer Dick Avery (a character based on Richard Avedon, the film's "visual consultant"), who is sent out by his female boss Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson) to find a "new face". It doesn't take Dick long to discover Jo (Audrey Hepburn, who does her own singing), an owlish Greenwich Village bookstore clerk. Acting as Pygmalion to Jo's Galatea, Dick whisks the wide-eyed girl off to Paris and transforms her into the fashion world's hottest model. Along the way, he falls in love with Jo, and works overtime to wean her away from such phony-baloney intellectuals as Professor Emile Flostre (Michel Auclair). The Gershwin tunes include the title song, "S'wonderful", "How Long Has This Been Going On" and "He Loves and She Loves"; among the newer numbers is Kay Thompson's energetic opener "Think Pink". For years available only in washed-out, flat prints, Funny Face was eventually restored to its full Technicolor and VistaVision glory.

You literally cannot look at Audrey Hepburn as she was before and say there was a lot of work to be done! She was always beautiful

[nauort]

It's astounding to think of the generations of people who grew up watching this and being fascinated by fashion--who went on to become the creators and manufacturers of the shit we've seen trotted down every runway during "fashion week" for the past three decades. 

[BonVoyageKitty]

So beautiful...happy birthday to a gorgeous woman (May 4, 1929 - January 20, 1993).♥

[oldhollywood_fanatic]

Everything Audrey Hepburn wore was beautiful for her, It makes her more to be an Icon

[miralabualjadail]

I love the houses of that era and how spacious they were its how I want my home to be.

[cheech]

Pure Grace and Class! Beautiful person, inside and out.

[eleonorevissers]

and that is how a model should walk....not stomping down a runway like some one who is angry  and miss

[emmad.]

I think this is one of Audrey's best looks personally and that's saying something considering she was always beautiful :) I think it's the combination of the 1950's fashion and the headpiece making her look like a princess :)

[lialing]

Watching a lot of Audrey Hepburn's movie clips on her birthday. 🎦 Timeless beauty. I'm inlove. ❤️

[hansel]

We're not gonna see him that young again in afterlife? He's grandma now in heaven 😢😔

[randomcat]

Wish i can meet ms hepburn
In person.

[macaroni]

I love the song that plays when she starts walking! I tried finding it but can't seem to get it lol

[rylairobins]

Can anyone tell me about her hair piece? What's it called? 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[elyzabethurizar]

does anyone know the name of the melody in the background? because it is beautiful

[jamessheridan]

Why does Kay Thompson have to scream her lines?

[windstorm]

So what happened to American high fashion? Straight into garbage can for last forty years. Even lower middle class woman in 50s 60s looked better than movie " stars" now.

[liquidmocofilmsllc]

I can't stand the sound of the voices in old movies like this. Sounds like its coming thru a 1950s radio commercial.
