...Funny Face. The incomparable Fred Astaire gliding through the world of high fashion photography with the effortless ease he made famous. Audrey Hepburn is his lovely leading lady, and George and Ira Gershwin set the musical mood as they did for Gene Kelly in American in Paris, which is slated for telecasting on Monday. Channel...
