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.
《小说家的电影》过“曝”的洪常秀电影，聊了四场天，兜了一个圈，拍成了一部片。
三星半，其实小说家的角色就是洪本人，借角色之口充分发挥自己的表达欲，借用影像记录真实的一切，而“不是纪录片”又剥离剧作和真实的联系，这种模糊了现实和虚构的边界，显得未加修饰又格外动人。结尾金敏喜哼的婚礼进行曲更是圆一个戏外的梦，同样模糊边界一般用电影讲述现实中的愿望。
差点被彩色部分吓到，还好结尾回到了熟悉的高血压配方。老年人的问题在于对高血压习以为常，已经不敏感刺激崩溃大叫了，洪尚秀在快70岁的时候成长为大男孩
自我的表达，有种举重若轻的感觉。（或许再刷我会给五星
各种文化人与假文化人与粉丝之间的商业互吹，一个简单的问题：假模假式的文化人自我报团与取暖和其他人对他们的指指点点有任何差别吗？真的少给自己脸上贴金了。知道你护着金敏喜了，知道你小说写不出改拍电影，现在电影也拍不好的样子。说来说去，观众如我为什么要关心呢？
一部关于洪尚秀拍摄电影方式的自我指涉的元电影，小说家的电影，尽管导演是缺席，但是通过最后的彩色镜头，金敏喜违反了“直视摄影机”的禁令，跟洪尚秀视觉对话。电影成为一份导演与御用演员的情书，这种小工作坊式的电影拍摄方式，接近戈达尔和伍迪艾伦，体现了一种艺术片生产机制的健全和健康，既是小打小闹的，又是艺术性的。影片涉及的人物情节及故事元素，看似漫不经心，是日常生活的自然主义摹写，实际上却是精心涉及的，每个层面都恰到好处，反应了普通人生活中的无聊，同时也有神秘、无可奈何，相识相知后的心花怒放，走向幻觉的现实主义
还是大段大段的对话，还是洪尚秀电影永恒不变的主题，但是大家都带上了口罩，金敏喜饰演的也不再是爱上有妇之夫的失恋女人，她在镜头前甜蜜的说了“我爱你”。 最后那段镜头竟然看到掉眼泪了。
真的是小说家的电影，没有太多技巧，只有最真实，最朴素的记录，观察每个人物手上的小动作是我观看本片最有趣的地方！
这几年拿了太多有分量的奖项，其实，近3部整个观感却不再享受，在【独自】和【之后】圈粉后，我欣赏完他出道以来的15部电影。金敏喜给老洪的电影艺术，输入了一种自身气质的美学，所以尤其喜欢，甚至试图去解读过往的作品，【海媛】【北村】【猪堕井】，他把那种亚洲尴尬很好地呈现到国际，现在他的敏感只能流露在不变的交响配乐里，尊敬他。
很显然，这是一部个人化色彩极其浓烈的作者电影，旁若无人，没有在乎观众的需求，表面上是小说家的创作价值取向，其实就是洪尚秀的电影宣言，喜欢的人会完全被这种形式驯服，厌弃者则毫不迟疑地放弃观看。
我为金敏喜唱歌打四星，我为金敏喜看雪打四星，我再为金敏喜拿花笑打五星（之后见长评）
剧情流韩影在奥斯卡戛纳异军突起的同时，柏林对老洪的近乎“专情”，既是宣扬风格，也帮助韩影百花齐放。
洪拍其他的演员的时候都像是在拍自己或者是分身，唯独拍金敏喜是她自己。镜头把金敏喜放置在画面的一侧，不强调视觉中心，或者就让她离开镜头。看似不经意，实则是给予了极大的演员自由。电影结尾，演员独自走出电影院，导演在画面里已经消失了，留下了演员自己去做决则，是去是留。最终，演员坐上电梯，从画面内“逃走”，转为空景。这场戏的调度，和洪前作《逃走的女人》的片名，形成了有趣的互文。
最有灵光的镜头反而是最真实的一段日常影像，导演把“真实”放置在电影中并且叙述成一种“创作”，又在结尾质疑了这创作的真实性，很有意思的设置。不过还是洪常秀惯用的从平淡日常延展出去的哲学思辨，也能感受到导演自己对这种创作思路已经有些疲惫了。
流动感很强的一部。在故事缓慢的水流里，洪轻巧展示了人与人靠近时产生的不同波纹。(Dennis在intro时说这部里有金敏喜迄今最爱的scene。我想不用怀疑，找到了
从「逃走的女人」之后，洪一直在探索人与人情感关系的界限，这片子不仅仅是结构出彩，有些片段人的虚伪让人哑然失笑，他的电影看到最后，我会发现不知道自己该喜欢金多一些，还是洪多一些。
向老婆表白 ✅
洪导大部分片揭露男性文艺工作者的虚伪，该片塑造了一个虚伪的反面——打着“真诚”的幌子，根本不考虑别人感受的女性角色。从开篇就可以看出来，以前关系很好的姐妹开了换了新地方，都特意没有告诉作家，作家从别人那里得知姐妹经常办沙龙——也没有邀请自己，不言而喻，曾经的好姐妹躲着她。//接下来偶遇曾经差点要合作的导演，导演：您不会还在为上次没合作成的事在生气吧，我真的很想拍您的小说，但是我说了不算。作家：真的喜欢你就拍啊。导演：可是这不是我说了算啊，是投资人说了算啊。作家：投资人说了算？哼哼。//再接下来，他们一起散步时遇到了金敏喜，导演对金不再拍戏表示可惜，这位作家又冲上去：你凭什么可惜，她是小学生吗，她自己不会做决定吗。拜托，人家可惜一下有什么不可以？
最后的vlog加一星，从29:40金敏喜首登场，到76:17醉酒断片，正好是47分钟的小说家的电影。另外你们文青洋洋洒洒写一大段，却都没人注意到片头破天荒出现了NEW公司的logo，老洪能在这个境况得到大厂支持绝对是雪中送炭。PS：华策有持股NEW，可以期待一波引进甚至内地公映。
现实小说家的才智不是编一个精彩的故事，而是把最乏味的故事也能讲得引人入胜动人心弦，就像梵高画的那双旧鞋子，关键不在题材，而是艺术。这部电影不能说非常乏味，也是常规乏味。
