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.
很多镜头很漂亮，应该说调度上也花了相当的心思，场景的制作比较考究，某些画面甚至过于精致且脱离现实，而最能突出九十年代的反而是那股糙劲，对于过往的浪漫虚化处理往往意味着记忆和情感的廉价，当然也可能是现实的严苛。
从网络电影的角度，给一个豆瓣四星没问题。在众多盗墓、玄幻、黑帮题材里面，有认认真真讲故事想法和能力的团队太少了。整体影像氛围感很棒，虽说故事还有一些小bug，瑕不掩瑜，配乐也很出色！
全片完成度还是很高的，男主模拟画像师的破案过程一波三折，悬疑氛围拉满；两个时代相互对照，女孩之间的感情令人动容，“我替你跳舞，替你活下去”，两人对着远山一起起舞的画面优美、伤感又带有一丝昂扬。但明媚只持续了短暂的时间，凶杀埋葬了年轻的、向往外面世界的肉体，而时代则湮没了她们的灵魂，最后的复仇不过是迟到的解脱。导演镜头语言、审美风格都较为高级，最值得一提的是背景音乐，为情节发展、人物情绪增添了亮点，值得加一星。稍显不足的是故事发展到中间稍显拖沓，有些情节交代不明确，需要观众自己推理和想象。但瑕不掩瑜，看到这样极具风格的片子还是很开心的。
也是噱头做了很足，但是没什么用。毁容必有互换身份，连环杀人案破得也太随意了。这位画画的感觉也不是画画的，想搞推理，结果片子推理的抽丝剥茧也拍得很一般…剧情不够悬疑来凑，唯一可圈可点的，可能是全片画面都强迫症一样的打在黄金比例上，除了色彩压抑，符合剧情以外，画面还可以。另外，真的没人觉得男主角像吴慷仁嘛😂
整体的摄影、画风、构图，都很有岁月感，镜头都很唯美，转场也很流畅，故事叙述很清晰，两个女人之间的情感也很细腻。整个故事推理逻辑就不说了，可能重点在于揭开一个背后的故事吧，反转很可以，还是值得一看吧。
众生百相，每条路都需要勇气，摄影加分，结尾拖沓，但算是网大良心了
可以剪成一个半小时的，就会好多了，导演想法挺好，摄影灯光也可以，就是节奏上差口气，女主放弃自己人生的情绪转折不清不楚。周楚濋努力了，但还是差点意思
看的时候感觉有点好玩，这些演员都有其他大牌的影子：
画面，音乐很独特，叙事有些稍弱，是一部很特别的文艺悬疑片
包袱反转设计的还不错，摄影和音乐也很赞，就是故事打磨的不是特别好，当然也算网剧里比较出色的
看完之后一脸懵逼，完全不理解。逻辑漏洞太多。片子太艺术片处理，让人完全不知道故事的重点。而且三个女性完全分不清。导致我满脸???
感觉导演想把这部电影做得文艺又有剧情反转，但说真的，真的没做好，一个大框架没有什么内核，说教性台词很多，人物都很标签化，并没有深入人心。摄影挺好的，这两颗星都给摄影。
摄影相当厉害，故事本身有趣，演员演技也过关，相较于悬疑，这真是个不错的剧情片，是一部值得上院线的片子。女二那个演员可谓是远山淡影。
题材本身挺好 视听语言也不错 电影质感很棒 空镜和最后一大长段芭蕾舞纯舞台视角加分 缺点 叙事太乱了 不整齐 不协调 暴躁警察人设略显多余
披着悬疑皮的文艺片，摄影很棒，剧本很一般。像是娓娓道来一段陈年时光的旧事，当悬疑看会显得节奏太慢。
喜欢里面的念白和台词，无论是警方队长、画像师还是舞蹈团的女孩们，每一个人都在阐释时代之下的个人选择。
华语近年少有的经典，有时代的衰落，有人物的挣扎，也有舞蹈者的绝代风华，更多有流畅的剧情推动，满格的案情推理，精致的人物扮演，丰满的人物塑造，到了最后的反转，大赞
很多镜头很漂亮，应该说调度上也花了相当的心思，场景的制作比较考究，某些画面甚至过于精致且脱离现实，而最能突出九十年代的反而是那股糙劲，对于过往的浪漫虚化处理往往意味着记忆和情感的廉价，当然也可能是现实的严苛。
绝美不过如此，灵魂由此沉浸。就像电影《远山淡影》里台词说的：“感受这个世界，即使有遗憾、迷茫，但正是因为这样，才证明我们存在过。”这是一部可能让观众忽略的电影，而且没有进入国内院线，真的是非常遗憾，也许多年之后，我们才会懂得这部电影的真正意义。毫不夸张地说，它是近年国产电影的上乘之作。而且最值得点赞的是，堪称戛纳，威尼斯电影节级的摄影，音效，也令人耳目一新。还有就是电影海报的设计，也是我喜欢的味道。“我来了，时代却走了。”这也是我强调的，顶级刑侦悬疑剧，应该控评的不只是犯罪者的恶性，还要控诉时代本身。不仅仅要描述人之参差，也要表达时代的荒唐。《远山淡影》就是这样的作品……
