In 1957, Paramount produced a very appetizing musical comedy called “Comic Face”, directed by Stanley Donen, and to the music of George Gershwin, Adolph Deutsch, Roger Edens and Leonard Gershe. With a simple residence, the film begins in Recent York City within the offices of the major fashion magazine named “Quality”. Its president, Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson), is positive to procure a unique scheme to promote the magazine. In a moment of inspiration, she comes up with the slogan “Contemplate pink,” and breaks into song praising the color pink and saying that everything (from women’s clothing, soap, furniture, etc.) must be pink. Of course, she “wouldn’t be caught unimaginative” in it.
Moving on to another magazine project, Maggie wants to gather the perfect situation to photograph one of the magazine’s models named Marion (Dovima, who was a major fashion model in the 1950’s working closely with photographer Richard Avedon. This was her only film.) . An assistant suggests that they go to a bookstore in Greenwich Village to get an quick-witted atmosphere. Maggie, Marion, a host of Maggie’s staff all in pink and the magazines head photographer, Dick Avery (Fred Astaire), force their device into a dingy, but collected, bookstore along with all of their equipment. A store employee, Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn) protests the uninvited intrusion vehemently, but the “Quality” magazine army locks her out of the store to work undisturbed. After several hours, the “Quality” mob vacates, but the books and store are left in a shambles for Jo to desirable up. Dick offers his encourage to neat the store, but Jo refuses. After Dick leaves, Jo proceeds to whine another amazing song in the film, “How Long Has This Been Going On? “
Maggie decides that “Quality” must fetch a true “Quality woman” to relate the magazine and it isn’t Marion. When Dick develops the photos taken at the bookstore, Jo is in one of them. He suggests to Maggie that Jo could be the woman that they need, but Maggie has her doubts. To lure Jo to the “Quality” offices, they order a ample number of books and want them delivered. Jo arrives hours later with a pile of books and is accosted by Maggie’s staff who want to redress her in preparation for a photo shoot. Jo escapes and hides in Dick’s shaded room. They talk and he sings to her another of the film’s title song, “Laughable Face”. Jo completely disagrees with everything that “Quality” magazine represents; she believes in “empathicalism”, a philosophy that rejects all material things, as described by her idol, Professor Emile Flostre, who lives in Paris. When Jo is told that the “Quality woman” photo shoot and a fashion expose will be done in Paris, she reluctantly agrees to be the model since it will give her the opportunity to meet Prof. Flostre.

Some may assume that “Amusing Face” is nothing more than fluff, but it was produced to entertain with color, fashion, music, dance and comedy and it does so very well. The acting, singing and dancing from Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire and Kay Thompson is quite grand and I rate “Silly Face” with 5 out of 5 stars. If you’re primarily alive to in Oscar-winning dramas, “Comical Face” may disappoint you; but if you luxuriate in light-hearted musicals and like to laugh, then you’ll probably be very entertained with this fun film!
FUNNY FACE is one of the most delightful and enjoyable of Hollywood musicals. Featuring an immortal George & Ira Gershwin accumulate (”He Loves and She Loves”, “S’Wonderful”, “Let’s Kiss and Compose Up”, “How Long Has This Been Going On? “) ; the smartly-written screenplay by Leonard Gershe also marks this film with a strong storyline. I’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like this movie.
When Quality Magazine invades a pokey Greenwich Village bookstore for a photo shoot, it’s the “dowdy incandescent shopgirl” Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn) who gets unwittingly discovered. Photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) finds something special in this “comical face” and jets her off to Paris as the unique model for Quality’s beauty campaign. Of course admire comes knocking for Jo and Dick, but not before some respectable songs have been sung, and showstopping dances have been performed.
Kay Thompson steals the entire movie as the deadpan magazine editor Maggie Prescott. She gets things off to a cracking commence with “Contemplate Pink”, traipses all over the streets of Paris with “Bonjour Paree”; and also gets a kooky 11 o’clock beatnik routine, “Clap Yo’ Hands” (with Astaire) . The character of Prescott is a thinly-veiled caricature of notorious fashion editor Diana Vreeland; whilst Astaire’s role is modelled after photographer Richard Avedon. Fans of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” should support an peek out for dilapidated brides’ Virginia Gibson and Ruta Lee, reunited here as two of Prescott’s assistants.
Audrey Hepburn’s early ballet and dance training came in handy with making Comical FACE, her “Basal Metabolism” routine is spectacular (and she sings quite well too) . Filmed on station in Paris, the entire movie definitely has the excellent European Travelogue feel to it.
This 50th Anniversary Edition of Humorous FACE will feature a brand-new High Definition transfer of the movie, some big modern featurettes (”The Fashion Designer & His Muse”, “Parisian Dreams”), plus the material from the previous DVD release (”Paramount in the ’50s” featurette, a photo gallery and the trailer) .
