Funny Face is a 1957 musical film starring Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, and Kay Thompson, and directed by Stanley Donen (Singin' in the Rain and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers), based In Name Only on a 1927 Broadway musical that also starred Fred Astaire.Maggie Prescott (Thompson) is a magazine fashion editor looking for the next big thing — trying to find something intelligent and beautiful. She and photographer Dick Avery (Astaire) search for models who "think as well as they look". They decide to take over a Greenwich Village bookstore to use for a photoshoot, much to salegirl Jo Stockton's (Hepburn) dismay as the shop is left in a total mess.Dick notices Jo in one of the photographs and the pair decide to hire her as a model, which Jo only agrees to so she can take a trip to Paris to meet a philosopher whose work she admires, but her snobbish attitude softens over the course of the film as she starts to enjoy the company of the handsome photographer. | |

All Men Are Perverts | |
| Funny Face / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Discussed when Dick gets jealous of Jo with Professor Flostre: "He's a philosopher, but he's also a man." Dick winds up being proven right when Flostre manages to be alone with Jo and starts trying to get grabby with her. | |

Remake Cameo | |
| Funny Face / int_1d7d1b93 | comment |
Remake Cameo: Fred Astaire starred in the original stage version of Funny Face in 30 years prior. The show went through numerous rewrites and a name change (from Smarty), and the film version has a completely different plot. | |

Race for Your Love | |
| Funny Face / int_66805a18 | comment |
Race for Your Love: Subverted; it only appears Jo does this at the end of the fashion show toward the end of the film, when all she knows is that Dick will be taking the next plane to New York; she had actually gone to the garden by the small church of the wedding dress shoot, which is where they first realized their feelings for each other. | |

Meaningful Echo | |
| Funny Face / int_6bd689ca | comment |
Meaningful Echo: Jo subscribes to a philosophical current called "empathicism", which as the name implies, revolves around empathy. First mentioned in a conversation with Dick while they are trying to tidy up the bookstore, it becomes a bit of a theme at the climax with Maggie and her staff mobilizing to get Jo and Dick back together. | |

Brainy Brunette: Jo's Establishing Character Moment. Averted with Marion, the model who is fruitlessly trying to look brainy in the bookstore shoot. The only thing she can read are pulp sci-fi comics. | |

Pink Is Erotic | |
| Funny Face / int_b25547b1 | comment |
Pink Is Erotic: The colour pink is used to indicate sexual confidence and the song "Think Pink!" was to encourage confidence in women and invoke sensuality as shown by the naked woman using pink shampoo, the recreation of Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s The Swing (which was similarly about sensuality), and the sexually appealing outfits. | |

Pimped-Out Dress | |
| Funny Face / int_e5448c9 | comment |
Pimped-Out Dress: Numerous examples on of splendid late-1950s haute couture, and Audrey Hepburn's character is dressed, when we first see her, as the chic Hollywood version of a beatnik. In fact, this movie was one of the films that established Hepburn as a style icon. | |
