About the Film:
Director: Stanley Donen, USA, 1957, 103 mins
In one of the most visually striking movie musicals ever made, Fred Astaire plays fashion photographer Dick Avery—based on Richard Avedon, the film's “visual consultant”— who is sent out by his female boss Maggie Prescott (loosely based on Vogue legend Diana Vreeland) to find a “new face.” It doesn't take him long to discover Jo (Audrey Hepburn), a gamine Greenwich Village bookstore clerk. Acting as Pygmalion to Jo’s Galatea, Dick whisks the wide-eyed girl off to Paris and transforms her into the fashion world’s hottest model.
