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.
敢不敢用心写剧本啊，原本可以成一部不错的电影，无奈导演和编剧水平实在有限，太无聊了。。。
年轻的时候不会看这类题材，但是应该去了解知道的
看，这就是不信豆瓣评分的后果。
边玩手机边2.0就刷完了，就是展示了一下被杀爱好患者那种不正常兴趣状态，以及一次失败的被杀策划。
没什么剧情，但笑点还是有一些的
做作！发神经！对演员的喜爱也不上升电影本身了。一边一副不要想歪的擦边球，一边还要强调不是女子高中生不行……有病，还是理直气壮的有病

莫名其妙的诡异开始，莫名其妙的改邪归正，莫名其妙的仓促结束
作为一个喜剧故事，点子和创意挺有意思的，感觉看起来挺新奇的，不过也会想起《你不是一个人》。故事还是不够饱满，后半程进入俗套模式，结局有亮点，哈哈。其实可以学《动物管理局》，正片虽然一般，但衍生的剧集在编剧上更精彩，这部剧也可以试试。
小西天儿观影+N次
这个房子是拍《怪胎》的那个么？还是台湾这种房子内外格局都是这样的哦……
对中年人生的呐喊，但无论是危机还是出轨，都没有任何劲道。影帝影后各自在努力发挥却没有任何火花。
城导，你还是多拍点情色片吧，这种类型的片子不适合你。
频繁的黄段子让我不适，弱智的精神科医生更是令人无语。
修行 的摄影问题太大了，手持移动式摄影没问题，不上稳定器也没问题，但表现中年夫妻关系不稳定至于镜头要抖动嘛？手持摄影是这五六年的流行，但经历过初期的实验后，这两年的摄影师都用稳定器来保持呼吸感和移动。移动不是抖动，移动是镜头有规律平滑的轨迹运动，抖动是摄影机举累了跑了构图，又赶紧找原始构图的过程。反复出现带前景的仰角大全景也很奇怪，如果画面内有运动，哪怕是冷暖光对比，也无可厚非。可人物在焦点处，前面加个没虚掉的实景就是静态摄影了，通俗点叫照片。这种写意镜头和之前符号化的对白场面剪在一起，节奏就是一条直线。文艺片的节奏绝不是一条直线，相反是波涛汹涌，只是没那么多无聊的动作戏罢了。导演显然不懂文艺片，只学到符号化和表面的平静，却没看到底下的暗潮涌动。心电图都不敢一条直线，电影的节奏怎么敢。
幻想类电影中国也开始拍了。因为雷击有了跟万物对话的特异功能，我也好想有。
两个主演我都挺喜欢的，无厘头的幻想还是很有意思的，基本笑笑哭哭的看完了。剧情上稍微再做的细腻一点就好。
可恶的是，她本守自己的本分，该做的家务没落，一副贤妻良母的样子。但另一方面明知道丈夫想要什么，却又不肯给予。还强迫对方和自己吃难吃的素食，喝难咽的果汁，还要绑着对方，连老狗也要阉了。这到底是为什么
2022年5月四日，GV Plaza。只有前后15分钟左右醒着
没必要这样压抑自己吧，人生苦短，不如相忘于江湖。
