Drole de Frimousse (Funny Face) Original Film Score Of Paramount Pictures

Released in 1957 by the French label Barclay, this soundtrack album accompanies the Paramount Pictures musical Funny Face. The film, directed by Stanley Donen, marked a significant collaboration between the legendary Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn, featuring a score largely composed of songs by George and Ira Gershwin. The soundtrack was a vital part of the film's identity, blending classic Broadway sensibilities with the mid-century visual style synonymous with the production.

The album cover art and the curation of the tracks reflect the sophisticated aesthetic of 1950s French cinematic releases. While the original Gershwin material provided the backbone for the film’s musical sequences, the inclusion of performances by Kay Thompson—who served as a vocal coach for the film and played the role of Maggie Prescott—added a distinct energy to the recording. The release was well-received by fans of the film, serving as a permanent record of the unique chemistry between its iconic leads.
