A Wonderful Hollywood Musical

I love Fred Astaire, I am not afraid to say it. For a man who "Can't act. Can't sing. Can dance some." He really can make a good movie. This is one of his best. I wasn't born when this first came out, but I did manage to see it in the theater when a local art house did an Audrey Hepburn film festival. It was worth it. The sets, costumes, and cinematography are lovely. Paris is definitely a co-star in this movie it's so integral to the plot. And then there was the music.

I've been singing this music all my life. From Funny Face, the titular song, to 'S Wonderful, I love it all.

The movie is about the fashion world and trying to find the new look for a magazine after hitting a rut. (Think Pink!) In their search, Maggie (the editor played by the wonderful Kay Thompson) and Dick (the photographer played by Astaire) encounter bookshop clerk Jo (Hepburn) while on a fashion shoot. When Dick gets back to the dark room he sees something and realizes that Jo is the new look they are searching for (Funny Face).

They convince Jo to go with them to Paris and she agrees. Not because she wants to be a model, but be cause she wants to meet her idol who lives there. They arrive and each goes their separate ways (Bonjour Paris!). Various antics ensue including Maggie and Dick having to crash an intellectual party as a couple of folk singers from the U.S. (Clap Yo Hands). The movie ends in true Hollywood fashion with a happy ending ('S Wonderful).

There are lots and lots of singable songs on this soundtrack and the movie is a must if you are a fan of either Astaire or Hepburn.

This is a movie I love and a soundtrack I love to sing.
