    Funny Face

    Reviewed by

    It's interesting to see the 2 good reviews for FUNNY FACE as I am usually the only poster of any type of film of the past. Unfortunately, I don't share the enthusiasm of the other two viewers. The entire plot for me was anything but superb as papertiger stated. Everyone will say that the 30 year difference in the pairing of Astaire and Hepburn is absurd. That didn't particularly bother me as all the actors of that generation from Gable, to Grant, to Cooper, to Stewart, to Fonda to any actor you want to name played opposite stars from 25 years younger to a whopping 38 year difference between Cary Grant and his co-star of Walk Don't Run.

    The film simply didn't appeal to me with all the fashion and the literal fabrication/creation of a STAR PERSONALITY, something we absolutely detest in this day and age. The story was certainly written to capitalize on the two great names, the incredible technicolour of the fifties and the amazing process of CINEMASCOPE which was just 3 years old when the film was released. Yes it all did amaze those of the period, but it is not a good film from my point of view, which is the one, alas, that truly counts However, I will go half way because I loved both Fred and Audrey, two extraordinary personalities and actors. I wish we had such glorious names around in 2015.
