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.
最初有多期待现在就有多讨厌。贯彻「摆烂」自嘲路线杂糅动作类型狗血桥段成就了远远不如影片自喻帕丁顿熊2的史诗烂片。剧本借凯奇自身经历和参演电影让现实和表演不断彼此反射与渗透的元叙事只有概念有趣，成品依然是它嘲讽玩梗的类型电影和无聊喜剧，在一段又一段造作自反评论和无聊电影说教与AI输入提示生成情节转折的套路集成之间更像一部段子集，落幕在重返舞台和家庭团圆的恶俗结局似乎也已放弃作任何思辨的尝试。一流的粉丝纪念收藏屋，二流的兄弟拯救女人间谍故事，三流的电影明星商业大片。更让我真心难过的是，毫无疑问银幕内外的凯奇都在表演者和大明星的天才名利天平之上反复挣扎，然而影片仅仅触及了这种矛盾的表面把它变成彻底轻浮的闹剧，唯一的闪光与乐趣都来自凯奇和帕斯卡表演的交锋以及对他事业的回顾，但它们仅占时长的十分之一。
《尼古拉斯凯奇的多重宇宙》lol 挺轻松的，好多喜欢的演员，凯奇确实演了很多烂片但是他的好电影也真的值得回顾，私心多加一星
仅有双重背叛那刻触及扮演
以自身为寓言，将电影的摄制与电影剧情的走向相融合，尼古拉斯凯奇这几年每年都能给我们带来一些“非主流化”的惊喜（如前几年的《星之彩》，《猪》一般）当然里面从尼古拉斯凯奇延展开的一些迷影情节也很不错，《卡里加里博士的小屋》 当然可以与《帕丁顿熊2》共存，电影从不是非此即彼的二元对立，人与人的关系亦然。
评论很多朋友说看过类似的创意电影！但是我刚好没有看过，觉得很好很有意思！
算是蛮简单甚至略粗糙的类型片，但大量迷影元素致敬演员自己，联系现实所产生的荒谬幽默使本片拥有不可替代的喜剧高光，通篇对自我的强撑出来的挣扎适合所有中年危机的人，亦惟其如此不知道算不算对凯奇近十年来职业生涯的浅薄化处理。但我还是对这样一部底色善意的电影会心一笑，对于我这一代影迷来说的确对凯奇拥有不可磨灭的回忆和好感，翻看凯奇的作品列表所能勾勒出来的时代脉络怎能不令人感伤，到最后影厅里面灯光亮起甚至有点灾难艺术家的感觉。但还是希望凯奇不要过于沉迷研究新萨满演绎方法，看起来好像帕斯卡表现得更好一点呢。
PS:很欣慰cage大叔也爱Paddington2，希望他可以参演Paddington3🐻
除去cage饰演cage的噱头之外也是很合格的爆米花电影 一本正经的俗套的感觉。其实我在等黛米摩尔 可惜只有一秒镜头 我还没认出来
确实还可以，但也就只是还行的程度吧。故事略微俗套，但也说的过去，演技也过关，但也没有十分出彩。比起凯奇这一蹶不振的十几年，这部算是略微小小振作了一下。但要恢复之前众多经典佳作来，凯奇同志还要努力啊。
等着瞧吧

那个尼古拉斯凯奇在烂片的折磨下终究是一去不返了
Nicolas Cage 无疑是个伟大的演员！
两个男人好友的中年危机 套在自己演自己的包装里
CIA特工也太废了吧我一直以为他俩是骗子（？）现在商业片都在找突破，结合迷影情节后男二号真的太好笑了23333 后面为了强行打架还是老一套
各种互文还算有意思 PS 帕丁顿熊2真的好看呀！
I Fucking Love You！
凯奇新片，恭喜偶像还完了债，恭喜偶像重回主流商业片。但是，这部顶多只能算是普通正常的喜剧，谈不上回勇，因为和凯奇的那些经典之作，没法比。作为调侃喜剧，拿自己开涮，不够狠不够深刻犀利也不够放得开。整体值得一看，就是别抱太高期待。凯奇能不能回勇，还得看他的下一部作品
以为会很解构很好玩，结果整个一靠彩蛋堆积起来的凯奇个人秀，整个跟红色通缉令和王牌保镖一个模式。彩蛋方面也没头号玩家 游戏之夜 死侍2有趣。只能说是凯奇接了一部好莱坞疫情下正常制作的商业大片，在反讽自己的角度来看没有什么亮点，应该说是浪费了这种角度和题材了。
等着瞧吧
