Fred Astaire plays a fashion photographer based on real-life
cameraman Richard Avedon, in this entertaining musical directed by
Stanley Donen (Singin'
in the Rain). The story finds Astaire's character turning
Audrey Hepburn into a chic Paris model--not a tough premise to buy,
especially within this film's air of enchantment and surrounded by a
great Gershwin score.
Based on an unproduced play, this is one of the best films from the
latter part of Astaire's career. --Tom Keogh
