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.
其实我一向讨厌索金这种台词语句通顺得一塌糊涂的丝滑感，本片的结构也不过是在《史蒂夫乔布斯》的框架上加入了前因后果以及些许戏剧互文，这些方面都没给我太多惊喜。反倒是妮可的表演很有意思，她的每场表演，给到我的感觉比其他演员都多了一层表达，不知道这是导演现场调教得好，还是演员自己的领悟，她这条人物线算是打动到我了。不过缺点还是老样子，没有什么视听的呈现，让三位女性强行和解什么的……
美国人真的觉得自己家的一点破事都重要的要命。
艾伦索金拍出来的人都和上了发条一样孜孜不倦地忙碌。妮可只要换副面孔就能有演技也蛮神奇的，如果再拿小金人就说明她原先的脸庞真是美丽而无趣。应该主要是眼睛上的调整。头一次眼神里有了非常细致的粗野和精明。台词很有趣，结尾很讽刺。u could be anybody if u don’t go home.以及那句“我不在乎什么年轻一代女性，我只在乎是不是有趣”是真豪爽。

男主侧脸好像勋宗。。。
虽然索金很会抓人物弧光由点及面地大搞情绪多米诺，但就观感而言观众跟本片修妮可皱纹的特效后期以及医美医生一样累。
和隔壁塔米菲统统可以归进除了颁奖季永远不会看第二遍的奥系八股文
和劳模那部The Eyes of Tammy Faye撞了题材，同样聚焦电视界传奇人物，无论是福音布道者塔米·菲还是喜剧女皇露西·鲍尔，其世界范围的知名度与受众情怀的局限性，决定了它们都是那类专门面向美国人民的颁奖季特供片。依旧是索金式话痨，全程状态紧绷，观感疲惫，高信息量台词密集输出，考验演员也折磨观众。把政治立场、事业风波、婚姻危机全部浓缩在一个拍摄工作周内，还塞进了一些无关紧要的内容，导致叙述核心失焦。时间线凌乱跳跃，无法从妆容扮相差别来区分，稍微分神就晕头转向，不时穿插的访谈回忆更是违和满满。剧作工整无趣，从头乏味到脚，能做到的也仅仅只是不难看的程度。和海报上着重展示的夫妻关系不同，电影几乎是纯捧妮可的大女主戏，其余角色都是众星拱月的工具人，所幸她也贡献了一些影后时刻，二封或有望。
爱人的名字与巴士底狱押韵，仇恨阿共但更仇恨麦卡锡，你代表了凡人我代表了自己，笑点世代隔阂但尊重彼此存在，演员比观众更需要一个维持幻象的魔法小屋，迷失晃神在一句“回家”的台词……群戏精彩的同时主线足够浪漫心碎，却也很理解其中内容的左右不讨好，加之索金一贯的信息量过载，难免广受差评
在男性拥有至高话语权的电视圈里游走，步步为营的背后全然以家之名。当她回到施展自我的舞台，或忘我出神般全情投入，或冷静清晰地自我抽离。当她回归自身的为难处境，在无数个独自的夜晚浮想织梦、泪水充盈。最后一场聚光灯下的演出，大喜大悲在瞬间交汇。这是她漫漫人生里的又一出玩笑，在最热爱的舞台上倾注了所有心力，却也在这用心最多的一刻晃了神。妮可那凄楚闪烁的眼神，同劳模姐在《塔米·菲的眼睛》中空房内落寞的身影组成了今年颁奖季中最勾人泪水、万分动容的女性形象。
看了好一段时间才入戏，太多的繁复台词了，让人很难静下心来，也可能是文化差异？婚姻与忠诚，家庭与事业，意识形态与命运，包含的内容比较多，但是主题还是婚姻忠诚和女性需要更加独立。妮可演的不错，只是看起来那么年轻不太真实。巴登和西蒙斯等一众老戏骨演的也不错。
妮可演得很卖力，但影片糟糕的妆发和大量的闪回让她这个角色显得很莫名奇妙，尤其是妆发放大了她和露西的年龄差，显得很违和，二封很吃力；反倒是哈维尔·巴登，人物形象更立体更清晰，成熟男人的魅力从举止谈吐间显露，着实迷人。
最后就是，作为一部关于情景喜剧的传记片，只有俩演员的口音是笑点，未免太失败了点。
omg传奇请二封 前一半乱七八糟的 剪辑请直接去世
精巧得过分就显得虚假了，不过女主表现确实太赞了，生涯的高峰
能看下去但趣味性也真的不大。好莱坞可能真的run out of topics，不断回顾自身，也很难说陷入的是自恋还是自省。妮可的脸虽然越发的僵，但还是很努力的投入了角色，最后在舞台上的一刹那失神确实是本剧最佳。but still，要靠这个拿了影后未免勉强了。
属于每年总有几部拿来冲奖的平庸传记片那一类，等于我又看了一遍《塔米·菲的眼睛》（但劳模实在太棒了
2022-03-24 很高效地单一场景做了不同时间比例的嵌套，当中拉开差别的表演方式只是叙事时空出入点的表象，真实的界限是目光聚焦的位置，望向表层或是注视内里。
又一部好莱坞展现自己的影片，他们似乎越来越热衷于在自己历史中寻找灵感。此剧根据真实事件改编，重现了电视女演员露西及其所主演的情景喜剧节目转折性的几天。基德曼此次很出色地演出了露西既讨厌又可怜的偏执形象，她想把一切都掌控在自己手里，对于细节完美近乎发狂的执着，最后却又搞砸了自己的生活。影片入戏较慢，后面收尾又太草率。众多大牌明星出演，只会竞逐演技而消减剧情。
在公众面前示弱的Luccille，在自己职业生涯最辉煌的年代，与制片公司、新闻媒体、深爱的丈夫之间周旋斗智，最终却遍体鳞伤。时代对于女性并没有像如今这么宽容，Luccille有着超越时代的平权思想，还是蛮难得的。
