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.
院长 属实很牛…..就是我的作业…您手下留情一点🥲
三星半 伍佰、林强、罗大佑、侯孝贤 此片为之后的台湾电影提供了很多好场景和剧作。
太震撼了！女性身分、母職、自我意識，似乎從未被這樣的呈現過。導演好厲害啊，每一個畫面都細膩又尖銳，Olivia 和另外幾位女演員的表演在小螢幕上都能感受到撲面而來的情緒和能量。不得不說費蘭特確實是 21 世紀非常重要的女性作家。
画面真的好看，配乐好赞！
现在看来有点粗糙了，写实感非常强。贡献了一张太出色的音乐作品辑，以至于我觉得伍佰的歌要好过电影。还有罗大佑和林强的特别出演。
影像的陈词滥调无法掩盖女性体验的意义，但相较同类型的《从不很少有时总是》却显得过于断裂：感觉逐渐让位于肢体记忆，飘移的手持于是只能成为一种标准而丧失了自由投注的力量
11th 科尔曼打破奥斯卡影后魔咒，优质女性角色资源一部又一部接到手软，同期提名的格伦克罗斯又再度查无此人
果壳发过一篇文章《后悔成为母亲，但我不敢说出口》，很深刻。跟这部片子大概是一个意思……
满分没有理由 the most generous thing you can give is your attention, this film had mine
台湾乡土味很浓，充斥着少年的无知无助自我迷失的电影，最后阿国死了虽然很伤感又觉得情理之中，原声带真的长出了那一代少年的迷失。嗯，从某方面来说很有种中国版猜火车的感觉。
# 78 Venezia # 能把这么多戏精放一起然后呈现出如此平凡无奇的效果也算是导演的一大功力所在，神了！
“雨一直下，就像我的悲哀。”电影的最后一幕，才让我回想起，这不过是十几岁的少年。在暴力、枪械、毒品的影响下，用冲动、放纵、肆意挥霍而逃避痛苦的少年。他们并不能够理解痛苦，所以也无法做到真正的自我疗愈。
竟然没认出达妹！这个造型可不比五十度灰好多了好吗 发现好多女演员都走上了导演的道路还挺成功 扎实的剧本加上几个好演员 电影基本就成功了80%
这两个少年，简单纯粹到在伍佰的少年吔安啦的歌词就可以写的明明白白，歌曲和电影是天作之合。
中间和女背包客以及和Nina的几段镜头太柔情太暧昧了，感觉她们在一起会快乐自由很多
这片把彷徨无助焦虑崩溃边缘刻画得太到位了吧,以至于我晚上睡梦中还会想起各种生活细节,路人的私语和眼神,动物植物都在针对你,电影院的无助,人群的喧嚣欢笑.友善伪善不怀好意的常驻NPC..p.s.Nina这个角色我觉得眼眸好漂亮,看完发现竟然是Dakota,她完全演成了另外一个人以至于认不出来,值得夸一下
愤怒迷茫又不知所措的青春，用流星烟火或匆匆开过的花来形容都不贴切，它并不美丽也不特殊，就像一团野火一簇野草，倏地开过，不知所以。
并不是所有年轻女人都适合做一个母亲，而母性也不一定是女人的天性。
只要女性还负责生育，就无法获得真正的平等吧
