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.
2022年5月7日；看完第一反应是这就完了，要从哪里开始吐槽比较好，第二反应是me果然不喜欢一言难尽的风间俊介，以及，小虎牙真是越来越大饼脸了；3张1W円假钞串联起来的故事，就假钞本身的流动而言，倒是也算是经过构思了的，三重机缘下，三只鸩出笼飞走，途经软饭男应召女妈妈老爷爷来到男主手上，期间恰好目睹了被应召小姐姐看对眼了的嫖客跟其情人幽会的场景，那个场景成为了草原侠鼓掌期待奇迹的深井冰事件的触发点，不孕属性的草原侠的自己老婆跟其他男人不伦而怀上了的孩子就等于多了一个家人的言论，简直是离离原上谱，另一边，假钞经过理发师，串起了出路的那条线，土屋太凤的编辑角色纯属献祭小说标题；全员工具人，其行为动机缺乏合理描述没有人物弧光/角色魅力，虽然有意表现这点，虚实处理一般，沼木酱或是最佳的NO.398…
不是每一部帮派电影都是教父，也不是每一个没能化解的遗憾都是布朗克斯的故事。帮派电影的黄金年代可能一去不返了吧。
《黑道家族》的男主角扮演者詹姆斯甘多菲尼在剧集结束七年后因病去世，非常令人遗憾，在本片中扮演东尼小时候的演员正是他的儿子迈克尔甘多菲尼，我觉得这就是对他最好的纪念了，说不定正因为迈克尔甘多菲尼也像父亲一样走上了演员的道路才促成了本片的拍摄呢。
兜兜转转把一条线串起来还算有趣，但是整体就是流水账叙事，一般般
其实没看太懂
故事讲的不清楚诶，线头好多。主角前部分的危机是啥，有那么严重吗？不认可这点的话，真的觉得角色大惊小怪。饼哥还是牛的嘻嘻。
这个小电影里的角色已经是今年看过的商片里最丰富的了… Alessandro Nivola很不错
The Many Saints of Newark
好好的片子结尾却做了这么个最没意思的选择，而且让人完全不确定最后到底谁死了谁还活着。都成为都市传说的黑社会老大怎么就那么紧张那三张假钞？事实和小说家的猜测到底差多远？片名是啥意思？啥叫击退法？
情怀占一大半，多了些政治性情节，少了生活韵味，没有黑道家族的感觉了
所以说艺术不仅来源于生活，更要高于生活。能看出导演其实已经很努力地在为故事增加戏剧性了，但是整个片子看下来观感体验还是十分的沉闷和无聊。
m2271：走过山的人会懂！失去过亲人的人会懂！小故事。
nobody understood me or no one can share my feelings with
这电影名字起的太科幻了吧，应该就叫《约翰奇遇记》。
很喜欢，全程不用动脑，就静静感受那场风雪，感受山，感受疲倦劳累和不懈坚持，感受伤痛和治愈。
因为黑道家族的情怀激动一下，但是主线不明，强行加入黑人觉醒像是为契合当前的时代背景。
i miss chris and ade😭😭 it’s like the sopranos impersonations and not really good ones... but any david chase/the sopranos content i eat it right up like gulp gulp gulp (also uncle jr is so closeted
不该这么低分，解谜的部分有点一泻千里，总体来说还是有意思的。很喜欢这个电影的色调。
浪费了人生的90分钟 原来是为了真人真事改编 不然这么无聊的剧本不知道谁写的 说是女主通过救赎男主自我救赎 完全没感受到 就看到俩人怎么挣扎求生了 雪地的场景很多都重复利用的 总之不要看
