Kay Thompson taught Judy Garland how to move, how to phrase her songs, her hand gestures...everything and created the 'concert Judy' we know and love. Kay was deeply appreciated and was Liza's godmother.

Funny Face is my favorite movie! It's so cute, and the music is great! Especially "Think Pink" and "Bonjour Paris"! And the clothes are great!

I love this movie for many reasons, but one of them is how incredibly ahead of its time it was in many respects. The edition anticipates the videoclip aesthetics by several decades, the subtle but acid criticism of consumerism and manipulative fashion was very unusual for the 1950s (especially in American cinema), the way it mocks French existentialism and exposes its terrible boredom and pretense was very bold (it risked being attacked by all the intelligentsia of the time), all while being incredibly fun and having Audrey Hepburn at her best, prettiest and most elegant ever! This scene doesn't have Audrey, but Kay Thompson keeps us transfixed at the screen, and it embodies most of the film's many virtues. A true classic!

Spot on analysis!

This is so 1950. Now, why my mother had to wear a like this suit , along with high heels at Sears in Atlanta, GA in 1952. But, love this movie!!

This may be the most artistic and genuine number in the entire musical, because of how perfectly it defines and describes an entire kind of person and an entire aspect of human life. The way the song is sung, the deep, complex and sometimes conflicting emotions properly enunciated with every sung note from both her and the rest of the ladies in the office, the tempo, the basic feel of the instrumental parts, all of it is simply a perfect musical number that evokes in the mind another life and world. One person said, "I thought she was a bitch, but then I realized she was the fairy godmother." In truth, she is all these things and more, but more than anything else, she is the spirit of everything a professional should be and the kind of passion and vision that work and business should inspire in all of us. She is not perfect, but she is splendid, alive and a true realization of herself.

Kay Thompson - Liza Minelli's godmother and THE creator of the post film 'concert Judy Garland'. They worked together creating that entire repertoire of hand gestures, hair-grabs, head nods, facial tics, etc. etc. etc. that was THE stage persona of Judy from the spectacular beginning of her concert career. Also Kay helped her perfect her vocal style for drama and to accent her uncanny natural abilities. Kay was the queen of sophisticated cabaret along with Andy Williams (her lover) and Andy's two brothers.

I love Kay Thompson, and her "Bazzaz"! This is one of my favorite numbers in all of musical films. I saw it a few ago on the big screen, and it was too good for words.

Kay Thompson played the perfect "retail" executive: All about the "latest thing"!

Where was that Oscar Nomination to Kay Thompson for "Funny Face"???? Now there would have been a deserving win for Best Supporting Actress.

There's something to be said for big glossy in-your-face technicolor entertainment.. and the best part, is that its lighthearted and makes no bones about it

I like right after this someone asks her why doesn't wear pink and she says it makes her nauseous!

Maybe that’s why people that work in the fashion industry often wear plain simple stuff themselves. As in classic, or basic black with pearls. Here Kay Thompson’s character - if this was real life- probably would have thought she would lose her authority if she followed trends.

@@radamik exactly. Her job is to give the common people trends to follow so that they keep coming back to pay them more money to chase even more trends. That’s why she wears black, she doesn’t have to follow trends since she is already stylish and she has the authority to set trends since she is trendless. The moment she starts following trends is the moment that people stop reading her catalogues and stop shopping her clothes. She must set herself apart from the common folk by appearing timeless and always in style since only then can she tell people what is trendy and what is not. If she appeared in the new trend wave style than she would be quickly forgotten about since trends are cyclical and always changing. Remaining in classic pieces like a black dress with pearls is a good way to always look like you know how to dress well.

She was a spectacular cabaret performer. She worked long hours with Judy Garland to totally reinvent her - not just the phrasing, the voices but all the gestures, the walk, the 'reach' the 'hair pull' etc. etc. Judy needed to be fine tuned for the concert hall and to leave behind the MGM Judy. She indeed appreciated her, Kay was Liza Minelli's godmother.

In Hollywood! Most people then as now do not dress in custom couture clothing. Did people, especially women dress more formally then? Yes, but also constrained by foundation undergarments and other aspects of pre-sexual revolution America.

Pink bathrooms, pink kitchen appliances, so much pink in the 50s. Very mid century - and one of the finest examples of mid century was the ship Andrea Doria (came out in 1953, sank in 1956) - main dining room had modern chairs in “old rose” upholstery. Not to make light of the disastrous sinking, but the ship WAS quite beautiful.

Yes. Ruth, Betsy, and the mayor were first class passengers. Mike was in second - “cabin” class, still very nice with pink and green cabins and a ballroom paneled in white leather. In one of the books he said he and his wife’s room was quite small - I think they booked at the last minute - but he really enjoyed the pasta dishes in the dining room(!)

I just loved the way they dressed back then

This is where this clip is shown, she also discovered CHER , BARB STREISAND as models while they were also starting their singing careers. She was an amazing woman,

It amazes me how they lived the way we do now sometimes. Some things never change.

So freakin' fabulous!!! Think pink!

James Cagney rhythm (rhythm, not dialogue): "Now I wouldn't presume to tell a woman what a woman ought to think; but tell her if she's gotta think...think Pink!"

RIP Stanley Donen.

Virginia Gibson , three years after Seven Brides For Seven Brothers then Funny Face . Five years after this movie co hosting Discovery 62 on ABC-TV daytime . What a roller coaster ride ! She is at 2:08, taking Ms. Thompsons instructions .

Such a brilliant musical number : so clever and well done !!!

You cut off the punch line, where Kay Thompson replies that she wouldn't be caught dead wearing pink. It is the culmination of the whole number, you know?

NO! You cut out the payoff man. At the end of the song, she starts barking more commands and a guy asks her if she is going to wear pink or something to that effect, and she replies, "I wouldn't be caught dead in the stuff." Best way to end that scene, in my mind, and was bummed it was missing from the upload. BUT, thanks for uploading.

Currently watching Funny Face, but tuned in late and didn't see that wonderful Think Pink sequence that was a prelude to the fast track editing format used in movies, TV shows and commercials, educational films, you name it. Besides fast moving scenes, I saw that dark little beauty, Sue England, in the above scene in the off-white outfit. She is best remembered for Kidnapped (1948), and some character roles in movies and TV.

The best musical every made.

Kay Thompson was such a powerhouse. I'm with the others here...she should have been nominated for this. She steals the entire movie.

I absolutely love "Funny Face," but I keep thinking about my beloved Grandmother, who around 1967-1968, had her pretty white hair dyed bright BLUE! (I did like the color). Yes, it's true (I was around age of 11 or 12) and never forgot it. I guess that it was kind of the style back then for some of the older set. Well, I guess I can say that I am happy that my dear Gran did not go full-out pink with her hair. She was not a fan of the color, and the idea of her showing up (at our place) with flaming pink hair, would have prompted me to run away to planet Pluto! Cheers to all!

Thank you for this upload!

Until he met Claudine Longet... :)
