Plots(1)
Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn) is a bookshop worker with intellectual pretensions. Discovered by the editor of a top fashion magazine and asked to become the figurehead of a new collection, Jo is talked into going to Paris by magazine photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire), and they soon become romantically involved.

An almost incomprehensible piece. A playful musical, a parody of the fashion industry, or an ode to Paris? It's hard to judge. There are too many clichés layered one on top of the other, as well as the overripe Astaire and the supposedly well-liked Audrey. It's not good. The transformation of the funny-faced intellectual into a world-class model simply isn't going to happen, although she would like it to... Or maybe the people at that magazine could be happy for a change. Be that as it may, the short career of this icon, who looked different from generations before her (and only by doing so should have become immortal), thankfully soon fizzled out.
