Title supplied by cataloger. Photograph caption dated January 5, 1957 reads, "Sometimes a newsman's job is dull. Other times it's very interesting. Like this week for instance when the beauteous June Blair dropped in on editors around town to remind them that Paramount had unveiled a bright new Easter package, 'Funny Face,' starring Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn - at the Hollywood Paramount. Studio decked June out in a pink dress, supplied her with a pink convertible car and gave her packages containing pink perfume and pink champagne to deliver to members of the fourth estate. Reason for the pink is that the musical features a lavish production number titled 'Think Pink.' As part of the stunt, the studio attached a unique gadget to the car which dispensed pink perfume bubbles into the air - by the thousands. Downtown Los Angeles never smelled so good."
