We simply adore the colours and design that features on the country-of-origin first-year-of-release film poster for 50s musical romcom Funny Face. Striking and very apt, given the film's opening musical number, pink styling.
Directed by Stanley Donen and written by Leonard Gershe, containing assorted songs by George and Ira Gershwin Funny Face stars Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. Dispatched on an assignment, New York City-based fashion photographer Dick Avery (Astaire) is struck by the beauty of Jo Stockton (Hepburn), a shy bookstore employee he's photographed by accident, who he believes has the potential to become a successful model. He gets Jo to go with him to France, where he snaps more pictures of her against iconic Parisian backdrops. In the process, they fall for one another, only to find hurdles in their way.
