John Kent (Randolph Scott), a former star football player at Harvard, goes to Paris with his friend Huck Haines (Fred Astaire) and the latter's dance band, the Wabash Indianians. Alexander Voyda (Luis Alberni) has booked the band, but refuses to let them play when he finds the musicians are not the Indians he expected, but merely from Indiana (Huck Haines and his Indianians Band).
John turns to the only person he knows in Paris for help, his Aunt Minnie (Helen Westley), who owns the fashionable "Roberta" gown shop. While there, he meets her chief assistant (and secretly the head designer), Stephanie (Irene Dunne). John is quickly smitten with her.
Meanwhile, Huck unexpectedly stumbles upon someone he knows very well. "Countess Scharwenka", a temperamental customer at Roberta's, turns out to be his hometown sweetheart Lizzie Gatz (Ginger Rogers). She gets Huck's band an engagement at the nightclub where she is a featured entertainer.
Two things trouble John. One is Ladislaw (Victor Varconi), the handsome Russian deposed prince and doorman who seems too interested in Stephanie. The other is the memory of Sophie (Claire Dodd), the snobbish, conceited girlfriend he left behind after a quarrel over his lack of sophistication and polish.
When Aunt Minnie dies unexpectedly without leaving a will, John inherits the shop. Knowing nothing about women's fashion and that his aunt intended for Stephanie to inherit the business, he persuades Stephanie to remain as his partner. Correspondents flock to hear what a football player has to say about feminine fashions. Huck gives the answers, making a lot of weird statements about the innovations John is planning to introduce.
Sophie arrives in Paris, attracted by John's good fortune. She enters the shop, looking for a dress, but is dissatisfied with everything Stephanie shows her. Huck persuades her to choose a gown that John had ordered discarded as too vulgar. When John sees her in it, they quarrel for the final time.
John reproaches Stephanie for selling Sophie the gown. Terribly hurt, Stephanie quits the shop. With Roberta's putting on a fashion show in a week, Huck takes over the design work, with predictably bad results. When Stephanie sees his awful creations, she is persuaded to return to save Roberta's reputation.
The show is a triumph, helped by the entertaining of Huck, Countess Scharwenka, and the band. (A pre-stardom Lucille Ball, with platinum blond hair, appears uncredited in her first RKO film[4] as a model wearing an elaborate feather cape, after the vocal by Dunne, in the fashion show.[5]) The closing sensation is a gown modeled by Stephanie herself. At the show, John overhears that she and Ladislaw are leaving Paris and mistakenly assumes that they have married. Later, he congratulates her for becoming a princess. When she informs him that Ladislaw is merely her cousin and that the title has been hers since birth, the lovers are reunited. Huck and Lizzie, who decide to get married, do a final tap dance sequel.
生存在帮派和民族仇怨之间的爱情故事。歌舞表演都很精彩，就是场景转换的处理有些太过突兀，很多剧场中的表演形式和戏剧冲突放在电影中不加以改编就显得不那么合适了。
get不到点，偶尔有些熟悉的歌，剧情挺老套的，感觉小鲜肉hold不住
在国内这种情感细腻温柔还风趣有趣的男孩子可以是一等了

音乐剧原封不动改编为电影的结果就是，故事逻辑完全崩了，所有转折都格外突兀，没有支撑，让这部电影雪上加霜的是，男主角竟然从唱到跳到演到颜一无是处……
如果你不知道奥斯卡最佳影片长什么样，它就长这样。那运镜，那色调，那配乐，那灯光，斯皮尔伯格的电影就是好莱坞的代名词。如果你开始爱电影，又不知道从何看起，斯皮尔伯格的影片是入门影迷的首选。这部翻拍作品还是较原作逊色不少，街区的还原还是有着现代的痕迹，演员的眼中多少透着手机屏幕的“反光”。
不懂一个罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事为什么要拍这么长，虽然是歌舞片但也只有女主哥哥和他女朋友在街上那段好看。
想看斯皮尔伯格怎么改，除了男主，都是剧场演员啊。/斯皮尔伯格并没有改，完全是老夫聊发少年狂。

电影很美好 现实很残酷 但看到越来越多亚裔题材就是值得鼓励的 少数族裔要改变既有的stereotype那必须不断站上文娱和政治的舞台 Netflix能再来一个欧阳万成脱口秀吗
这种圣诞暖心电影不打满分的真的是冷血动物了
《合约情人》北美任贤齐版本，文化的冲突，谎言的背景都挺契合当下题材，挺适合国内再次翻拍，剧本很好
6/10。视听语言高度还原了四十年代的美术和置景，开头一处施工地正在拆除古老壮观的建筑物，到处是断壁残垣里冒出来的暴力小子，斯氏运用许多俯摇和升降移动镜头，游刃有余地处理帮派站队、械斗的舞蹈场面。但不管人物走位和机位运动空间如何丰富，相比老版更加杂乱、具有胁迫感的城市风格，新版里过分光鲜阔气的舞会、盐场，乃至开头在街道墙壁上被油漆毁掉的波多黎各国旗标志，都没有遗韵，难以表露贫困、种族冲突、青少年犯罪等社会毒瘤的怪异现象，这点充分反映在剧情的空洞上，来自完全不同宗教家庭的男女主角，跳个舞就能一见钟情，两方年轻人泡妞、耍横，就搞成了无法收拾的街头暴力，哪怕不合理，斯氏都把爱情元素分配到了绝对的位置，那些男性斗争的冲动和宗教情感的问题都淡化到不值一提，严重减弱了古典悲剧的戏剧意味。
原作就不是什么”珠玉“，事实上老版电影在平衡舞台感和电影媒介上做的非常失败，Spielberg明显注意到了这点，所以在新版上不仅修改了编舞的调度和细节使之更适合大荧幕，也在cinematography上下足了功夫。Mise-en-scene相对于老版的丰富其实也一定程度上体现了电影工业的发展。然而影片本身也只是三星水平（原作放在现在来看是比较overrated 的musical），好在casting拉回来了一把：虽然Ansel Elgort不出所料很拉垮，但Rachel Zegler的唱功简直惊艳；Ariana DeBose在The Prom时期就很有亮点，到了Anita这个全剧最出彩的角色上，她更是如鱼得水。本片邀请了老版Anita的扮演者Rita Moreno回来助阵，更是安排了一首solo，在情怀上倒是诚意满满。Overall，如果不带着包袱与滤镜，这个版本的”西区“确实不算差。
斯皮尔伯格的功力宝刀未老，几处歌舞场景调度，剪辑拍摄都颇显功力。
歌舞片绝对是直男劝退指南，看了一个小时，简直如坐针毡，实在想不通翻拍的意义何在。这也是今年奥斯卡最佳影片十强中唯一一部没有看完的。能用拳头解决的矛盾冲突，动不动就开始唱歌跳舞，gay爆了！这年头为什么还有人喜欢音乐剧？Theater都没落N年了！究其原因，从事舞台剧的男生基本都是gay，所谓逼格就是把自己逼进一个角落作死
男主rif对比老版毫无男性气概，声音又难听，鲨鱼帮老大也不如老版的有气质。实在是年度翻拍灾难。
先入为主加时过境迁吧，经典的唱段和舞蹈加配色倒是赏心悦目，男女主稍显单薄
是看完会微笑的圣诞电影！Jimmy Ouyang在此片中的人格魅力令本颜狗服气（但吻戏我看着还是违和哈哈哈
我是看了个罗朱么……某首曲子还行。歌舞部分拍的还行。关键是，白男比较碍眼，实在是忍不住那个救世主的傻样，女主还是挺可爱的。还有，麻烦下次别整那种显得男主很高大女主很娇弱的机位了行不，说的就是那个小拳拳砸胸口那个镜头。可以理解好评的人和差评的人了。（里头种族歧视和白人排外的台词有点让人不适。
