'Funny Face (1957)  Is a 1957 American musical romantic comedy film directed by Stanley Donen and written by Leonard Gershe, containing assorted songs by George and Ira Gershwin. Although having the same title as the 1927 Broadway musical Funny Face by the Gershwin brothers, and featuring the same male star (Fred Astaire), the plot is totally different and only four of the songs from the stage musical are included. Alongside Astaire, the film stars Audrey Hepburn and Kay Thompson.                                                                            Plot  Maggie Prescott, a fashion magazine publisher and editor for Quality magazine, is looking for the next big fashion trend. She wants a new look which is to be both \"beautiful\" and \"intellectual\". She and top fashion photographer Dick Avery want models who can \"think as well as they look.\" The two brainstorm and come up with the idea to use a book store in Greenwich Village as backdrop.  They find what they want in \"Embryo Concepts\", which is being run by the shy shop assistant and amateur philosopher, Jo Stockton. Jo thinks the fashion and modelling industry is nonsense, calling it \"chichi, and an unrealistic approach to self-impressions as well as economics\". Maggie decides to use Jo but after the first shot Jo is locked outside to keep her from interrupting Maggie’s take-over of the shop. The crew leaves the store in a shambles; Dick stays behind to help clean up and apologizes to Jo, then kisses her impulsively. Jo dismisses him, but her song \"How Long Has This Been Going On?\" shows that she feels the stirrings of romance.
