#Funny Face Film 1957

[savage-kult-of-gorthaur]

NO AUDREY LIKE "BEATNIK AUDREY" -- ALL THE RIGHT MOVES AND ALL THAT JAZZ.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the late, great Audrey Hepburn (as Jo Stockton) donning her "Basal Metabolism dance sequence" outfit, a.k.a., "Beatnik Audrey," for promotional photos of the 1957 Paramount production "Funny Face," Paris, France, c. 1956.

"...the "Funny Face" outfit that really cemented Hepburn’s fashion muse status was far simpler: black cigarette pants, flats, and a black polo neck so widely imitated it actually warrants that overused word, iconic.  “Banish the black!” editrix Prescott decreed in the film. Thanks to Audrey and her polo neck, nobody listened to her."

One Dress a Day Challenge

Black and White October

Funny Face / Kay Thompson as Maggie Prescott

The big joke of the "Think Pink" number is that Maggie pitches the idea in this black-and-white suit, and while everything around her gets pinker and pinker, she continues to dress in black, white, and grey. When someone finally asks her about it, she says, dismissively, "Oh, I couldn't be bothered."

As I look more closely at the screencaps, I wonder if the suit might actually be midnight blue, but since that was billed as "blacker than black," I think it counts for the theme.

She wears the suit in two different scenes, with what appear to be two different white shirts. One of them has an added scarf or a scarf-collar, which is fastened with a statement brooch in green and red. The jacket has three-quarter-length sleeves, which allow for the long white gloves. I also like the pillbox hat and the T-strap shoes.

Cary Grant during production of the Universal Pictures/Stanley Donen romantic comedy mystery, “Charade,” (1963).

Grant turned 59 years old during filming, and displayed a sensitivity about the age difference between his 33 year old co-star, Audrey Hepburn and him.

Charade was kind of a cinematic extravaganza covering three genres (comedy, romance, and thriller), featuring a supporting cast of leading actors in their own right(Coburn, Kennedy, Marin & Matthau) with music by Henry Mancini and lyrics by Johnny Mercer.

Charade’s director Stanley Donen already had under his belt (in collaboration with Gene Kelly) the films On the Town (1949), Singin' in the Rain, and It's Always Fair Weather (1955), and other films on his own that include Royal Wedding (1951), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), and Funny Face (1957).

Black and White October

Funny Face / Audrey Hepburn as Jo Stockton

This simple, strapless dress with matching wrap is one of my favorites in the movie ... well, I say that, but really, all the costumes in the movie are good! Sadly, this dress hardly gets any screen time, but fortunately, it was used for some publicity shots so that we can get a better look at it. You can see there are faint white-on-white floral designs in addition to the black ones. I think the look with the blue gloves is an interesting effect. Peak 1950s glamor!

AUDREY HEPBURN

Audrey Kathleen Hepburn (née Ruston; 4 May 1929 – 20 January 1993) was a British actress. Recognized as a film and fashion icon, she was ranked by the American Film Institute as the third-greatest female screen legend from the Classical Hollywood cinema and was inducted into the International Best Dressed Hall of Fame List.

Born into an aristocratic family in Ixelles, Brussels, Hepburn spent parts of her childhood in Belgium, England and the Netherlands. She attended boarding school in Kent, England from 1936 to 1939. With the outbreak of World War II, she returned to the Netherlands. During the war, Hepburn studied ballet at the Arnhem Conservatory and by 1944, she performed ballet to raise money to support the Dutch resistance. Hepburn studied ballet with Sonia Gaskell in Amsterdam beginning in 1945 and with Marie Rambert in London from 1948. She began performing as a chorus girl in West End musical theatre productions and then had minor appearances in several films. Hepburn rose to stardom in the romantic comedy Roman Holiday (1953) alongside Gregory Peck, for which she was the first actress to win an Oscar, a Golden Globe Award, and a BAFTA Award for a single performance. That year, she also won a Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Play for her performance in Ondine.

Hepburn went on to star in a number of successful films such as Sabrina (1954), in which Humphrey Bogart and William Holden compete for her affection; Funny Face (1957), a musical in which she sang her own parts; the drama The Nun's Story (1959); the romantic comedy Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961); the thriller-romance Charade (1963), opposite Cary Grant; and the musical My Fair Lady (1964). In 1967, she starred in the thriller Wait Until Dark, receiving Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations. After that, Hepburn only occasionally appeared in films, one being Robin and Marian (1976) with Sean Connery. Her last recorded performances were in the 1990 documentary television series Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn, for which she won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement – Informational Programming. In 1994, Hepburn's contributions to a spoken-word recording titled Audrey Hepburn's Enchanted Tales earned her a posthumous Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children. She stands as one of few entertainers who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy and Tony Awards.

Hepburn won three BAFTA Awards for Best British Actress in a Leading Role. In recognition of her film career, she received BAFTA's Lifetime Achievement Award, the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award and the Special Tony Award. Later in life, Hepburn devoted much of her time to UNICEF, to which she had contributed since 1954. Between 1988 and 1992, she worked in some of the poorest communities of Africa, South America and Asia. In December 1992, Hepburn received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. A month later, she died of appendiceal cancer at her home in Tolochenaz, Vaud, Switzerland at the age of 63

1938, 1957, 1961, 1979, 1998, 2010

1938 - The Lady Vanishes. It's an earlier Hitchcock film, but also one of the ones I rewatch the most. It's a lot of fun.

For 1957, it's a tie between Throne of Blood and Funny Face-- what a double feature that'd make!

1961 - Blast of Silence. My favorite noir and my favorite Christmas movie.

1979 - The Castle of Cagliostro. It's a great caper/adventure film, but it has a melancholy undercurrent I find very appealing. One of my most rewatched movies in general.

1998 - The Big Lebowski. Absolutely hysterical. I like the Coen Brothers, but this is the only film of theirs I really, really love.

As for 2010, that's hard... mainly because I'm having a hard time thinking of anything... but Tangled was very cute and came out that year, so I'll choose that one!
