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.
很纠结，喜欢西部，气质拍的很对味，但是故事过于太简单太老生常谈，你要说它是化简又好像有陈词滥调之嫌。不过比前两天看的《复仇之渊》舒服太多了。
故事不够丰满的感觉吧，因为有期待这种西部片至少有两个小时。
味道不错，有时代感，特别是对西部片质感无法抵抗，借着比利小子的故事讲了个农夫与蛇的故事
老亨利到底是为了钱还是为了救人？这个问题一直困扰着我
对话很无聊，故事讲述的一般，枪战还算爽快，只能说还过得去吧。
好想看老亨利前传，或拿了一大笔钱的小亨利后传
稳赢的局，后面非要中两枪加剧情，最后的死也是老套路了。
Billy the old man no country to rest
猜中结局，扣一星。节奏还好，导演可以。价值观还能接受，看在科恩班底的份上，表演给四星。
故事简单老套了一点，不拖沓，浓郁的西部风情是我喜欢的。摄影不错但也可能是风景本身太美的原因。
就是要整场的节奏还有结尾爽快的枪战 不管什么惩恶扬善 不如结尾的弑父来的成长让人意味深长 当娱乐片看看就行了
荒野伤者携巨款，父子救人招祸端。
中规中矩。儿子长得也太不像老子了。男主很适合演老比利小子。
这部比卷福那部西部片强，经典叙事，经典的电影母题，剧作推进的很可以，这才是合格的通俗文化的电影类型片。这才是正儿八经的西部片（结尾收的有点差），卷福那什么玩意。
幻想孩子是亚瑟。
欢迎回到原味西部，像真人版《荒野大镖客2》的小样。
这年头想看个像《老亨利》这样的西部片都已经很难得了。
整体观感其实一般般，但这他娘才是西部片，前段时间出的那部全黑人的垃圾片也好意思舔着大脸说自己是西部片？我连片名都懒得记....
两星半；老派西部片，情节简单的和邵氏武侠片一样，以西部片名人比利小子为噱头，唤起观众们的西部情怀，人物非常扁平，故事也毫无波澜，从一开头就能猜到结局的电影
西部片也挺好拍的，三五个人。慢吞吞的讲着话，骑个马跑来跑去，开几枪就拍完一部片子了。
