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.
刚开始的铺垫，母女实际情况的反转，借由着疫情大环境下的社会问题和家庭问题，带出来的思觉失调，贾静雯在正常人和发病惊悚期，吃药控制期的迟缓和胆小紧张，都演的及其自然。对手戏的女儿王净，也是一点不输。
好美好美，新增的这是在台北电影节2.0上看的原片吗？？？怎么一把子就从5.5涨到了6.5,要不要再刷到8.5,助力沃玛永不沉没ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ
本片仍然没有摆脱“做作”感，但这个故事内核足够好，情节铺展足够扎实，于是完全撑住了整个情绪表达。静水流深，后劲十分。赞。
疫情只是一个突如其来的考验，在这次突击检查中，人们精神与身体潜在的病痛纷纷浮现，轻轻一推，大厦倾倒。
母女二人演的都很好，表演好过故事，刘冠廷最帅；总有人觉得钟孟宏过誉，但确实是我喜欢的风格
在疫情的背景里，房屋被蓝色防水布遮挡，阴影与抑郁一起袭来，终于，所有的伤痛堆积，她被“病”保护起来，在阴影里舔舐伤口。也因为病母女关系对调，被照顾被滋养。整个过程像一次心理治疗。她还是选择了面对现实。着墨不多的清洁阿姨，超市的主任，住院的病友，都在释放善意和阳光，她可以晒阳光，也有阴凉地休息。
我感覺這絕不是鍾孟宏特別好的一部，但是鍾孟宏開竅的一部，雖然前後斷裂，導演跟編劇還是有點分離，但我覺得以前一直覺得鍾孟宏空空的地方，開始被填滿，他往另一階段去了。而在觀影過程中，也不無聊，演員與攝影俱佳。
但我仍然很喜欢。
三星半，贾静雯真的绝，为了最后一场戏多给半星也不是不也可以，同样都是98年的，刘浩存真的可以被王净按在地上摩擦，还有刘冠廷，尽管这里只有惊魂一瞥，但看过他其他几个作品，演的也真好，前段时间我看台湾的无声，都是年轻人或者中年演员，我总是奇怪，为什么人家的演技就那么好呢，内地的演员都在琢磨什么呢，
虽然觉得钟孟宏这几年多少有些过誉，但这部还是有些低估了。人与人，人与生活的点去打开人与社会的关系，只是功力不够。
卖房子那一段最好，紧接之后的父女对话那段的女儿也不错。最后一段母亲脑海中的瀑布化作洪水淹没女儿的意指，感受是感受到了，但也太硬了。太笨拙了。
#venezia78 哎，90分钟不香吗？非要墨迹两个多小时，墨迹到后来把所有缺点都墨迹出来了，桑心。上半部分很不错，下半部分越往后越大型车祸现场，桑心。整体上还是有可贵之处。
比如瀑布与最终“母亲承受的女儿仍要承受”，比如蛇——蛇出现的那一刻我甚至哭了出来了，有一种被看见被承认后的轰隆委屈，虽然下一秒变成了“刘冠廷好帅！！！”
突然戳中的泪点 不禁想问 好好活下去怎么就这么难；一首《抉择》选得真棒 也不乏同伯格曼《假面》《野草莓》一样的元素
小静他们去烤肉的时候给妈妈发了一条同学合唱的视频，让我想到了高中我们去春游几个同学合唱《流星雨》，想不到都已经是那么陈旧的事情了。
跟钟孟宏真的八字不合……塞得太满，想讲的太多，力道又没有给足，显得故弄玄虚，前后段又割裂得厉害，女性心理惊悚和中产温情故事两个方案最好就选一个。倒是没有阳光普照那么做作了，但因为是我偏爱的都市中产题材所以还是要严格一点，两颗星都给贾静雯的表演，看到中间就觉得这届GH因为有贾静雯才显得不那么落寞，太抓人了。
和妈妈照顾外婆的那些年，我们一直在尽量维持日常的生活。时常在会议里，在和朋友的相聚中，我要立刻赶回家去帮妈妈一起“搞定”外婆。有时候换成妈妈来帮助我。我记得外婆还清醒的日子，我不认识眼前这个失智偶尔乱来的老太太，但我要照顾她，要看着她。睡眠休息已经打乱的成了一种新的习惯，闲暇的时候也总是提心吊胆，但我和妈妈都一直在尽我们所能维持我们原有的生活状态，让它如常运转。我们生活在“瀑布”之下，虽然我们的衣服身子没有淋湿，但我们的生活和外界隔着轰隆作响的瀑布，我们无法去分享这巨大烦扰的声音，我们无法向任何人传递这种感受，也没有人能穿过瀑布帮助我们。真好，电影里有病友，有主任，还有那条迷路的蛇。
6.0 内在外在都缺少感染力，强行植入意向，剧本生硬，心理惊悚尴尬。鸡汤大师钟孟宏。
瀑布这个概念太贴切了，既是幻听、也是幻视，家庭关系的洪流，生活的洪流，时代的洪流，生活中这些到处涌动的暗流，轻轻的卷起来，就能够吞没普通人的幸福。婚姻失败、疫情隔离、家道中落、思觉失调……罗品文的故事就是一道无情直落的瀑布，是不断下坠却无计可施的人生。影片的最后，那个拉了好久好久的蓝色防水布终于被掀开，这座建筑的施工终于结束。阳光顷刻间，重新洒进了这个房间。生活恢复如常。“不要再问我你还好吗？我答应你，我会努力好起来。”
情节设置真的不得要领，贾静雯角色受创的躁郁，当真在屋外罩下蓝色帘布，解开心理惊悚，消除膈应就抓走客厅里的那条蛇？女儿的刻画倒是很大的亮点，以及最后呼应“瀑布”的水流，妈妈守得的获救，让人有了记忆点
