- Synopsis
- Fashion photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire), in search for an intellectual backdrop for an air-headed model, expropriates a Greenwich Village bookstore. When the photo session is over the store is left in a shambles, much to salesgirl Jo Stockton's (Audrey Hepburn) dismay. Avery stays behind to help her clean up. Later, he examines the photos taken there and sees Jo in the background of one shot. He is intrigued by her unique appearance, as is Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson), the editor of a leading fashion magazine. They offer Jo a modeling contract, which she reluctantly accepts only because it includes a trip to Paris. Eventually, her snobbish attitude toward the job softens, and Jo begins to enjoy the work and the company of her handsome photographer.

"A timeless musical treat and the most fun you can have with really elegant clothes on"
David Parkinson: Empire
-
"What is startling here is the eye-popping colour, the self-reflexive photography and visual effects, the dance sequences and the witty and ingenious use of the Paris locations."
Geoffrey Macnab: The Independent
-
"Astaire could still dance up a storm, no doubt about it, and this has its moments."
Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
