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.
三个视角的罗生门，自大自恋的人能把强奸想象成被勾引。
雷利·史考特執導戰爭電影就是一把手的工匠等級，營造的恢弘壯烈場面一向有目共睹，最後那場壓軸的決鬥，令人看得呼吸都要停止；但另一方面，他對於探究心理層面的細膩之處就略顯不足，光靠繁複的台詞是難以完整表現吧。
《最后的决斗》采取了多人的视觉和章节式的结构，这样的做法并不新鲜。但是雷德利·斯科特这一次向我们展示了扎实的拍摄技法功底和优越的电影制作水准。虽然三位主角不同的视角存在很多重复的片段和场景，但是《最后的决斗》做到了既能以微小的细节变现说服力，又不会像同样的类型片中以大相径庭的不同视角造成唐突感。虽然改变于真实事件，但是《最后的决斗》仍然能够让当下的观众感受到其中对于中世纪法国王权制度的迂腐和不公的批判，与此同时以一个“开放式”的结局提升了整部电影的魅力。
也许中世纪并不是黑暗的，但我们的确还生活在中世纪。
老天是公平的。强奸的人表面忏悔，但过于精明死不承认。莽夫爵士为了脸面，以命相搏，最终还是死于鲁莽。夫人总认为自己是唯一的受害者，别人都不是真心对她，一切都是她的努力赢得了胜利。但是最后所有人都知道她被强奸时有快感她撒了谎，所有人甚至她自己看到自己的孩子就会想起那个瞬间。他们每个人都深信不疑的感觉是自己的努力在控制着局面，但没有一个视角能够称得上真实。唯有老天最公平每个人都受到了应有的惩罚。
多视角的叙事属实不新鲜了，剧情也过于冗长，但最后一个女性视角还是鲜明刻画出了男人的自信，耐心看进去的话还是很不错的影片。
三段之间的差距非常精妙，叙事推进非常高效，历史还原非常细致，决斗场面非常精彩。雷老牛逼！
3.5 虽然【真相】段落很不罗生门，但叙事很稳，内核也好，因为这所谓多数人被牺牲的文明，tm的令人窒息了。当然，比起大谜面，更令人疑惑的是，老司机居然是全片门面担当？？后来才知道，原来这个角色是大本来演的...好的打扰了...
很当代了，而且和老雷以前拍的那些所谓的女权电影比起来说教意味实在太直白了。
耐心看进去前两段才能get到第三段的情绪和细节，所以要看完整，虽然没什么特别技法但也不失为佳作，老爷子不易，我大本到台前纯是来逗的
确实展现了父权视角下的自以为是，但无感知的人仍不在乎
时长与信息量之间不成比例，剧本属于无佳章无佳句，片子没有毛病，但也不太精彩。P.S. Gone Girl男真的好擅长讨人厌啊。
剧本很扎实，不同角度讲一个故事如同现场听他们讲述很有代入感，最后的决斗女人为了尊严，男人为了面子。
还是很开心看到本马达再次联手编剧的，不过这次感觉前面稍微冗长了，到最后女性视角才有趣起来，也能理解为什么票房会扑街。朱迪科默太美啦，本和马达都啥造型啊（btw亚当司机在里面居然一直被夸英俊，作为粉丝我都爆笑如雷了
老司机的视角里，就该死不承认强暴，建立一个为爱痴狂的好男人形象，然后再在女性视角下来一个反转，这样才更有张力一些。现在的情况是观众已经预先知道老司机强暴的事实，对他俩投入的情绪是不对等的，这场决斗在观众视角下就不是公平的决斗
近期最佳观影体验.朱迪科默美炸天了，比失控玩家里面还要好看！三个视角的对比体验太好，细节的改变画面传递的含义完全不同.看得好几次起鸡皮疙瘩.质感真的好.
中世纪女权电影，罗生门的叙事手法。虽然没有天国王朝的战争场面，但是一个好故事也足矣给观众留下深刻印象了。
厚重，粗粝，像84岁的雷老爷子围炉坐在篝火旁，娓娓道来的一段传奇。采用了章回体，多视角的方式讲述故事，分别刻画卡鲁日，勒格里和玛格丽特的人设，让人厘清三者的关系和利弊后，最终将矛头推向“不得不决斗”，进而引出藏在冰山下真正要歌颂的话题——女权的觉醒。这场决斗不单是卡鲁日的胜利，更是所有女性敢于发声，争取平权的觉醒。但可悲的是，玛格丽特的清白要靠丈夫的生死决斗来证明，成王败寇代替了法律证据，说是上帝旨意，其实全凭战场上的运气。不好的点是章回体玛格丽特的这一段，前面勒格里部分已经很清晰的展示了她被强J的过程，到玛格丽特这部分完全可以大段省略，现在几乎是第二章的照单全收，看起来重复无味，显得拖沓。
在那个年代，大多数女性只是男性的所有物，没有任何力量可言。女主作出了发乎内心愤怒的控诉，自己的生死却取决于两个男人谁先倒下。镜头极尽嘲讽之能事，Jean向群众挥手，抚摸婴儿的头仿佛上帝；群众狂热欢呼，仿佛有圣徒行走人间；那个曾一呼百应的失败者，被光溜溜拖走吊起示众。只有女人在身后，默默咀嚼决斗的惊险与从一而终的苦楚。PS：三个视角，讲述者不同，但诸多段落的机位角度等似乎并无不同，让人看的时候不免觉得拖沓，是否能够更有新意一点呢？只是拙见。
看似是个男人决斗的故事，实际上却是女性的挣扎，演员在线，不得不吹爆雷老。
