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.
张建生的刀疤被杀的那场戏，眼神充满了愤怒、不甘、不舍、遗憾，多重情绪都在眼神和微表情中体现，这个演员多少有点料。
虽然逃狱没成功，逃狱的戏份也不多，但明显节奏比前两部更好了，情节上也更合理
作为廖启智先生的遗作，只能说是中规中矩。电影的剧情，完全是靠一众老戏骨手撑起来，剧情可谓是毫无波澜。最后富家子的定罪，我看不出是法律的胜利，而是控辩双方权贵之间的互相斗法。说句诛心的话，假设死者富家女孩与被陷害的男生同样出于平民家庭，这种胜利或许更有戏剧性。而这部电影，无论是政治选举黑金，还是贫富差距的讨论，均没有深刻的展开，平庸的有点可惜，而且几场法庭戏也没有突出的闪光点，早一点在网上首播，也可以说是一个合理的选择。
作为很工整的传记片来说，缺点和优点都很明显，特别是在后半段叙事零散，很多事件被压缩的情况下，Jennifer Hudson也在自己的范围内做到了最好，真的值得奖项肯定。然而影片的高潮竟然是最后AF晚年表演的影象，一下子就明白为什么她代表了一个时代。
接第二部的剧情，更多的老戏骨加入，比前面二部好看。
演技都在线。。。期待外传或者前传。。。呵呵。。。
感觉内容很多，导演都想表达所以有些事交待得不清楚，看着有点懵，也说明她的生平确实曲折复杂
可能是大环境经济不景气，这部剧还能拍三部😂，全靠卖版权挣钱
给彩蛋加一颗星，再给刀疤哥加一颗星！太喜欢刀疤哥啦，前传拍拍刀疤哥吧，球球了！
因为要重做这部电影的项目 专门去看了早应该看的Jennifer Hudson。老板问我觉得怎样 我说 “i think she lost her edge” 虽然 她依然是女王。
boring到爆炸，接近2.5个小时的电影，全程尿点
投票的话就先看刀疤的前传吧，主要想看女主戏。
Q姐确实老了，但是身段儿还在。片子总体来说还是不错的，剧情略显老套，但是也有一些小惊喜，比如Q姐跟伦勃朗打着打着就打到床上了……有些桥段看起来有点这个杀手不太冷，但是总体来说还是很独立的一部电影。
Maggie Q仍然又美又飒，然而剧情主旨太陈腐牵强，加上这个我真的搞不懂有啥意义的结局，两星不能再多。虽然不是什么佳作，但那些打斗场景还是很霸道地在我的潜意识里蔓延开来，成为做梦的素材🤪
图书馆不错。感觉在香港坐牢条件可以。
故事简单的程度和手游有一拼，但故事线和人物关系都很清楚。拍啥电影啊，这个题材应该搞个沉浸式驻演音乐剧，肯定赚到了啊。
6.5分，还可以看啊，至少李美琪看着挺养眼，动作戏及格，剧情也不算太差吧。
标准的美式暴力片，漏洞肯定有，也没啥好评价
很讨厌这种流水传记片。剧情主线其实很清晰，从摆脱父亲的控制到摆脱丈夫的控制，到太过自我而失控，然而每一阶段的剧情却都没有说好。儿童时期浪费20分钟，和父亲的争吵到最后和解场景写的很差。和家暴丈夫互相撕扯的戏份根本没表现好，然后就莫名奇妙和第三个男人自己发疯，再一转看到自己母亲就回头是岸了。几个阶段本身和衔接都做的很差，编剧真的很差很差。
中规中矩的传记片。女主角很认真的表演，很用力的卖唱。3.5星
