    The fact that Kay didn't get an Oscar nomination is probably one of the biggest robberies.

    Kay Thompson steals every scene she's in. And yes she wipes the floor with Fred. Good Lord!

      Damn! Astaire was ten years older than Kay Thompson. She was only 48 in this.

    Kay Thompson FTW. This number has enough electricity to power ten musicals, even this one.

    I swear to God that this song is contagious! When ever I listen to this song I end up rewinding and listening to it again, and again...Fred is amazing - as always - but my God is Kay a wonder to behold!

    She's FABULOUS! I searched and searched for this and thrilled to find it! Such a polished, consummate performer! Terrific voice, even better dancer! And that big scorpio personality! LOVE FUNNY FACE! And Sabrina. Audrey Hepburn was adorable and elegant.

    I read that Kay couldn't stand Fred Astaire and she said before filming this number "I'm gonna wipe the floor with him "... and she did

    • @nondescript2892
      @nondescript2892 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      yes...she hated how he treated Audrey ...in the Kaye Thompson biography I read the description of the filming of the "bonjour Paris" section on the Eiffel Tower is pure gold..hilarious...she hated hypocrisy too

    • @patricemoran7469
      @patricemoran7469 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      "She hated how Fred treated Audrey"???.
      Audrey loved Fred and he thought she was marvelous. She flew over from Europe to attend his AFI 1981 tribute. His daughter Ava traveled with him to Paris during filming of 'Funny Face' and she and Audrey became
      life-long friends.
      It would seem that Kay Thompson had some
      kind of an agenda.

    • @samherman317
      @samherman317 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      And where did you “read” that? There’s nothing in the feed that ever suggested that. Either you are lying or hallucinating. Astaire is on record as having enjoyed working with Kay and vice-versa. Prove it or lose it.

    • @samherman317
      @samherman317 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@nondescript2892Both disliked worked together. For one, Audrey was NOT a musical actress and felt she was forced into the part. Funny how she didn’t mind the paycheck for “My Fair Lady” later on. Astaire felt Audrey was not a trained dancer and wasn’t up to the part, and he was right. Audrey was a dramatic actress. For all of your whinging, you are coming off as a tool. Which you are.

      Oh it was probably not for the talent but just the fact that this is baldfaced racist "entertainment" that's a nice time capsule for how we got to where we are in this country. Oof. The fact no one is mentioning this is hilarious.

    • @gregoryjayvalent9641
      @gregoryjayvalent9641 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I agree, Astaire is using a little Gene Kelly style here. More animated and athletic than usual. (Dancing on the ceiling excepted.)

    • @patricemoran7469
      @patricemoran7469 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In this film the one and only Fred Astaire is more like a guy in his 40's than 58.
      What other 58 year old male dancer could pull this off bouncing up and down off the floor while Kay sang 'Clapa Your Hands' ... None...because he was the only one still dancing. Amazing and true.
      (Gene Kelly hung up his dancing shoes at about 45 or 46...hardly danced much in his last MGM musical 'Le Girls' but went on to
      become a successful director).
      his last movie musical

    I Love this musical " Funny Face one of my favourites" full of class, lovely, beautiful stylish music, singing and dance, Great Iconic Stars in the leading Roles Mr Fred Astaire, Miss Audrey Hepburn, Miss Kay Thompson, This song " Clap Yo hands" is just BRILLIANT with Mr Fred Astaire and Miss Kay Thompson who are So SUPERB. The song is so upbeat and a song that makes you want to join and clap with them. just love it.

  • @ruben1475
    @ruben1475 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    This song always makes me laugh, because the music is a full-blown orchestra even though Fred Astaire is only holding a guitar (which he isn't even playing). Can you imagine being at that party 3:22 when he just starts kicking on the floor while she dances around him, all in dead silence?

      Eugene Loring was the choreographer. He was Audrey's choice & the studio wanted to please her. Kay wanted Bob Alton (who choreographed her nightclub act) & Fred wanted his pal Hermes Pan - but Loring got the job.

    Fred Astaire and Kay Thompson did not get along while making this film, and this song and dance number illustrates why. Here's Fred dancing his ass off, even spinning around on the ground, yet it's Kay Thompson you can't take your eyes off. She nails every scene she's in. Astaire was not use to his dance partners stealing focus, but Kay did, and Astaire didn't like it.

    Kay Thompson and Fre Astaire didn't get along. Kay told Audrey Hepburn that she was going to "wipe the floor" with Fred in this song. I think knowing more about the performers can make a scene so much more interesting!
