(man) I love your funny face
Your sunny, funny face
For you're a cutie
With more than beauty
You've got a lot of
Personality-N- You fill the air with smiles
Though you're no Mona Lisa
For worlds I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face
(women)
You've made my life so glamorous
You can't blame me
for feeling amorous
Oh, 's wonderful
'S marvellous
(military drum beat)
Good morning, Miss Prescott.
Good morning, Miss Prescott.
(Miss Prescott) Now hear this.
I simply cannot release this issue
the way it is.
In the 60 years of Quality
magazine, this hits rock bottom.
If I let this go through, I will have
failed the American woman.
(all) No, Miss Prescott,
don't say that.
waiting for me
to tell her what to wear.
It doesn't speak.
And if it won't speak to me,
it won't speak to anyone.
A magazine
must be like a human being.
If it comes into the home
it must contribute.
It just can't lie around.
A magazine must have...
..blood and brains and pizzazz.
This is just paper.
If I send paper to the American
woman, I will have let her down.
(all) No, Miss Prescott,
you mustn't say that.
Yes. D for down.
D for dreary.
D for dull and for depressing,
dismal and deadly!
Ahh! Here it is.
Here is our theme.
Here is our answer. Pink.
(excited chatter)
Girls, girls, girls, girls.
Take this to all the designers.
I want dresses made up in this pink.
Babs, take this to Kaiser Delmont.
I want shoes and stockings
in this colour.
Laura, everything goes pink!
I want the whole country pink!
Lettie, take an editorial.
''To the women of America...''
No, make it
''To the women everywhere.''
Banish the black,
burn the blue,
and bury the beige.
From now on, girls...
Think pink! Think pink
when you shop for summer clothes
Think pink! Think pink
if you want that quelque chose
Red is dead, blue is through
Green's obscene, brown's taboo
And there is not the slightest
excuse for plum, or puce
Or chartreuse
Think pink!
Forget that Dior says black and rust
Think pink! Who cares
if the new look has no bust?
I wouldn't presume to tell a woman
But tell her if she's gotta think,
think pink
(women) For bags, pink for shoes
Razzle, dazzle and spread the news
And pink's for the lady
with joie de vivre
Pink's for all the family
Try pink shampoo
Pink toothpaste too
Play in pink, all day in pink
Play day in pink
Drive in pink
Come alive in pink
Hang five in pink
Go out dancing
but just remember one thing
You can get a little wink
If you got a little pink
In your swing
Think pink! Think pink,
it's the latest word, you know
Think pink! Think pink,
and you're Michelangelo
Feels so gay, feels so bright
Makes your day, makes your night
Pink is now the colour to which
you gotta switch
Every stitch
Every stitch you switch
Think pink! Think pink
on the long, long road ahead
On the road
Think pink! Think pink,
and the world is rosy red
Everything's rosy
Everything on the great horizon
Everything that you can think
And that includes the kitchen sink
Think pink
Think pink, think pink
Think pink, think pink
Think pink, think pink,
think pink!
Maggie?
Dovitch. I want to see you.
Girls, back to work.
Gentlemen, that will do.
The railroad
is going to paint a whole train pink
and send it on a tour.
TWA will let me know
if we can have a pink plane.
I haven't seen a woman in two weeks
in anything but pink.
- What about you?
- Me? I wouldn't be caught dead.
Dovitch, I can't wait to tell you
about my feature for the next issue.
It's my newest project.
When you hear it, you will drop.
- Now what?
- Just you listen.
Dick Avery
started working on the pictures.
than any of us.
Here it is. Clothes for the woman
who isn't interested in clothes.
(man) Marion, give me a long look.
Longer.
Longer.
Steve, tip that back light down
a bit, will you? OK.
Hold it, boys.
Beethoven isn't working. Try Brahms.
Look, Marion,
I'd like to try it again.
This time,
let's see if we can't get with it.
Keep in mind
that you're a woman who thinks.
That is a piece of sculpture
by Itsabuchi.
Look at it as if you understand it.
As if it understands you. See?
No, that's not the way we look
when we're thinking of Itsabuchi.
React to it. Just... say it.
Itsabuchi, hmm?
You haven't quite got it.
Now, listen carefully.
You are in the Museum of Modern Art,
Marion.
Deep, Marion. Profound, Marion.
You have come across this statue.
It says something to you
because you are intellectual,
always thinking.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking
this is taking a long time,
and I'll never be able to
pick up Harold's laundry.
When Harold doesn't get his laundry,
disaster!
If we don't get this fixed, you may
never see Harold again. Let's go.
The woman who thinks must come
to grips with fashionable attire.
A woman can be beautiful, as well
as intellectual. See facing page.
And how is the facing page?
The facing page looks
as intellectual as a snake.
Nonsense. Marion can be very deep.
Look at her. She's reading.
Marion, dear, what are you reading?
Minute Men From Mars.
Are we all gonna hang around,
or get somebody else?
- How about Lucy Brand?
- On her honeymoon.
- Betty Hayes?
- She's in jail.
Are there no models
who think as well as they look?
Marion might look better
in a different background.
We can go on location.
An intellectual hang-out.
- Somewhere with books.
- A book store.
A sinister place
in Greenwich Village. Come on, girls.
Let's hurry. We might have to pick up
Harold's laundry on the way.
There's one.
(Dick) Driver, stop here.
That's sinister enough.
Melissa, help me with this lamp.
It's heavy.
I can't, Babs, I got my hands full.
It's movingly dismal. We couldn't
have done better if we'd designed it.
(woman screams)
I'm sorry. I didn't see you up there.
Are you alright?
Yes, thank you. Can I help you?
Would you like a book?
- (Miss Prescott) Marion, over here.
- Who are those?
May I help you?
Thank you.
We have everything we need.
Please tell me what this is about.
We're just going to take
a few pictures.
What sort of pictures?
- Are you the owner?
- No, Dr Post is.
I work here,
and I'm in charge in her absence.
I'm Jo Stockton. Can you help me?
How do you do? I'm Dick Avery.
We want the shop as a background
for fashion pictures
for Quality magazine.
I'm sorry. I can't let you.
She doesn't approve
of fashion magazines.
It's chi-chi and an unrealistic
approach to self-impressions.
- We have trouble. She's a thinker.
- She's also a talker.
I must ask you to leave.
We throw ourselves at your mercy.
Haven't poor people like us
a right to make a living?
