I've never seen it before, so I'm asking if it's worth the $13?

Personally, I think it's a good buy if you don't have Turner Classic Movies, which runs this occasionally.
Audrey Hepburn gets to sing! She does a very good job with that and is a marvelous dance partner for Fred Astaire. She even gets to do some expressive dancing in a Paris nightclub. They have George Gershwin songs throughout, and that's paradise! S'Wonderful! Stanley Donen directs, so you're guaranteed innumerable wonderful moments, including Audrey's modeling sessions, captured then shown in a variety of colors, in keeping with fashion magazines of that period.
Kay Thompson's talents are showcased in this film.
I'm not sure if anyone watching ever thought, "Ew! Old guy and young girl?!" Think how often Audrey ended up with much-older guys, including Gary Cooper, in her films. Fred tended to end up with young women who chose him over younger suitors.
If you love classic movies and musicals, you'll love "Funny Face".
"I love your funny face, your sunny, funny face..."

It's a good Audrey Hepburn movie. If you like others of hers go for it.

Some "dollar" stores sell it for . . . you guessed it: a dollar! Also, many libraries carry it for free (or with a refundable security deposit; some library systems may be able to get it from other libraries in its system; it couldn't hurt to ask!).
BTW, my favorite Audrey Hepburn flick is Hitchcock's, "Charade", a romantic/mystery/comedy, with a great cast, though the plot may be a little too confusing for younger viewers to appreciate.
Check the web for possible cheaper prices (don't forget to account for shipping and taxes!).
