Storefront Hitchcock (DVD)
Master of the rockumentary Jonathan Demme (STOP MAKING SENSE) takes on the project of filming idiosyncratic English singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock. Filmed over the course of two days on location in a New York City storefront window, the film smartly captures the musician`s quirky sensibilities. Demme films Hitchcock along with violinist Deni Bonnet and bass player Tim Keegan with their backs to the window, allowing passersby to fill in the background. As in STOP MAKING SENSE, the audience for the performance can be heard but not seen. Hitchcock peppers his performance with strange little stories and observations that segue into bursts of seemingly unrelated songs. Most of them are taken from Hitchcocks MOSS ELIXER album. This stripped-down, unplugged version of his work should appeal to longtime fans. Surprisingly, considering the limits of the visual landscape, the film does an effective job of re-creating the experience of seeing him live. The performance includes four songs written specifically for the film.PG-13"

Splashes of vivid color light the way through Stanley Donen`s very modern musical. Think pink! commands Miss Prescott, head of Quality Woman fashion magazine, and American women obey--all except Jo (Audrey Hepburn), an intellectual young woman who tries to prevent Miss Prescott from staging a photo shoot in Jo`s bookshop. Photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) sees something interesting in Jo`s funny face, and soon he`s lured her to Paris to model during the day and discuss philosophy in smoky cafis at night. Modeling Givenchy clothes, Hepburn steals the color in every scene, and her funny face enchants all, including Dick and, unexpectedly, the dark and handsome philosophy master whose theories Jo adores.
The musical numbers are primarily duets--Jo and Dick glide together in each other`s arms, Jo and Miss Prescott find unexpected solidarity in womanhood, and Dick and Miss Prescott cavort in the philosopher`s salon--but the most engaging scene is when the three come to Paris, plead exhaustion to one another, then secretly race around the city, singing and dancing and reveling in being tourists.
