Funny Face is best known as a musical film released in 1957, based on the 1927 Broadway version by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin. The story revolves around Jo, a shy, bookshop clerk-come-amateur philosopher, who is discovered by a famous fashion photographer and finds herself at a major fashion event in Paris, where romance blossoms. The plot for the film version is dramatically different from that of the Broadway musical, although many of the songs remain.
