Funny face
The beautiful, stylish, sophisticated, elegant, adorable Audrey Hepburn. Seeco Records. “Oye Mi Piano” Damiron con su piano y ritmo! Here’s a fantastic clip of her winning an Oscar for “Roman Holiday”!
Does anyone know what movie this photo is from?

It’s hardly from Brazil, the title is in Spanish… By the, Audrey tried to learn Portuguese in “Breakfast at Tiphany’s” because she wanted to marry a Brazilian coffee baron. There’s a line in which she says “it’s an impossible language, three hundred irregular verbs” or something like this. Because of this line people in the States have a myth on Portuguese being extremely difficult and in sitcoms it’s usually what dumb people learn when they are suddenly turned into genius (like Seinfeld’s George Costanza did when he held up sex for a while, and started to hit the Portuguese waitress in her mother language. By the way his Portuguese, just like the Portuguese talk at the end of Lost 2nd season is uncomprehensible. Julia Roberts (in Mystic Pizza) and the fishermen on Family Guy, on the other hand, speak a understandable yet clearly non-native Portuguese).
Oh God, I went really far on this, I should occupy myself.

Wow!
It’s possible that was not a movie but a photo shoot… you might want to start with Givenchy and see if this hat was his.

Don’t for get the adorable subplot for Forest Whittaker & John Travolta (and a gorgeous Portugese woman) in Phenomenon. Same setup – the ‘Phenomenon’ learns the language by reading a translation dictionary on 20 minutes.
To guess, I would try, as you titled, ‘Funny Face’ – which I just saw for the first time on TCM recently – and was bowled-over by! This is one of maybe 10 movies in the world that I would by the disc for myself.
