Shame we don't have a Cook-Moore thread. Not much Donen content here.

I'd like to object to the age gap between Audrey and Fred in Funny Face, or the script's cheap shots at Beats and philosophy, but I don't (much). Think pink.

Like Silk Stockings the age gap undermines the credibility of the romance but i'm not watching those films for their realism so the casting just functions as another expression of artificiality i.e. yeah it doesn't bother me, i'm watching for the expressive aspects anyway

Nowadays a Hollywood lead in his late 50s would look about half the age Astaire looks in those movies

I wondered during the first 30 minutes of Two for the Road why i had found it so irritating 20+ years ago... then in the last 80 minutes i remembered why. It def has one of the more charming Audrey H performances, and Albert Finney is prickly and tumbledown, but there are way too many cutesy "matched cuts," Eleanor Bron and William Daniels (both normally delightful) are around about twice too long, and while there are some funny lines it lapses into becoming a Statement on Marriage. It's very pretty of course.
