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.
3.8这个作品的表演真的很糟糕，虽然这是美式动画的惯用表演方式，但是在这个复杂的巫师世界里如果有更加细腻的表演一定能够更加出彩。
虽然电影院里不时传出窸窸窣窣的哭泣声，但感觉也就仅限于好哭…感觉很多没有深入聊，只是一笔带过。
比真人剧好很多，虽然部分剧情衔接很硬，但打斗画面真的很精彩。
我还以为男主会和女术士发生点什么…结果是我想多了…最后攻城有点浮夸，空中作战多少个杰洛特都不够填的…只是为什么小时候是个秃子？？
很认真地完成故事讲述，没有太多的情感导向，完全的上帝视角去思考这个家庭中的每个人物。因为更注重家庭关系，很多社会关系被弱化，孩子在学校的文化代沟只是流表面。#3.5 导演长片处女作而言，成熟了（还是更偏爱3星的《瀑布》）
林嘉欣瘦了好多，真的是女神啊，不过其实她什么样都女神。片子本身乏善可陈，虽然演员都很努力，但这就是很一般的片子。对非典在戏剧中的运用也没有用好，只是个噱头和壳子，其实跟故事关系不大。看完不懂为啥金马拿了这么多奖，是真的没好片了？不过林嘉欣还是值得，电话响起、冲过去、停顿了一秒才战战兢兢拿起来，生怕电话那头是妹妹的坏消息，影后真不是盖的。
质量在流水线作品中属实过硬，但工业化痕迹过强也导致内味儿不足
奈飞的制作，剧情打斗都挺到位的，可惜没有游戏里猎魔人逛旅馆，那满眼美女，丰乳肥臀，翻云覆雨的场景。
老爷子这过去有点套路化呀....但是！画面真不错 配乐一级棒呢
打斗场面灭天灭地，结果个个都是菜逼，自产自销果然是生财之道，寻找需求不如创造需求，给人恩惠不如给人恐惧，可要是恐惧过了头，自己就要遭殃了。
看似讲述传统中国家庭的矛盾与和解，实则是对中国家庭观念的刻板印象与 SARS 背景的叠加，以映照当下 COVID 疫情。至少于我而言，片中的家庭不是我的经历 @Netflix
家人啊，我们表现多恨彼此也多爱彼此。姐姐一双眼睛太漂亮了，好会说话，这个小演员一定会很厉害。
阮凤仪无论在表达立场，还是叙事方式上都有着女性的敏感与细腻，但情节选取和剪辑方式上却有着并不适衬的粗愣。情感的曲线在大开大合与润物无声之间，并没有找准峰、谷，以致于那些共鸣变得很是零碎。不过，作为一部长片处女作，阮凤仪是找对了导演的创作方向的。看着林嘉欣对于表演的游刃有余，希望方郁婷未来也能如此出色。
妖魔的诞生、祸乱伊始的组织、斩杀妖魔挣钱的大剑。
原来怪物们是这样出现的。。小一辈知道吗。。。
没有打炮，但有男屁股看（噫）
不得不说动画表现比剧版强多了，虽然剧情一般
《美国女孩》这个片名真的咋一听就是浓浓的美式风格，不知道的还以为是《美国派》那样的美式青春轻喜剧。感觉台湾导演真的很擅长发掘生活中人物的细腻情感。所谓的美国女孩，也只不过在美国生活了十年左右，小学一年级还在国内，高中回来了，脑子却留在了美国，成了香蕉人。但是从姐姐妹妹的谈话，她们在美国还要靠剪优惠券过日子，身为亚裔的她们难道在美国的生活又很好吗？为什么这么痴迷美国，这多少有点令人疑惑。反观妈妈这个角色，虽然也是美国粉，甚至选择了西方的信仰，但在子女教育上却依然是中国家长这一套，骨子里没有摆脱自己的身份认同。成长于美式文化下的女孩，不但与中国家庭教育产生冲突，而且对他人的疾苦虽看在眼里，却终无法体会，只能一直蜷缩在自己的精神角落，选择逃避一切不如意，拼尽全力也想回美国，但现实的碰撞终让她醒悟
吵架是家庭的日常，在争吵中我们得到了什么，磨合、痛彻的爱过，还是领悟。家庭成员没有一个人是错，都是彼此在乎对方，由于SARS的到来，让一切爱都凝结成火。2022.3.7
真的好看
