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.
史诗般的血腥，原始，与欲望。和沙丘一样在当下尤为难得，维伦纽瓦和罗伯特艾格斯都用自己方式，赋予古老的故事新的生命。复仇的怒火会因希望与爱熄灭，但为了守护这份爱，我们还是义无反顾的跟随命运丝线的牵引，走向自己宿命的结局。
作者自我表达和作者自我沉迷是两个完全不同的事，我感觉导演明显分不太清楚。下次再有这么大笔钱，真的不如给我，我雇个导演拍闺蜜的北欧同人小说，保证比这个好看多了。@好莱坞
哈姆雷特北欧if线，故事内核却与原著完全不同，倒是讲出了原著从未涉及的侧面。维京文化血腥残酷的外皮带来爆炸性的雄性荷尔蒙，把王子复仇记的男性叙事夸张化到让人难以忍受的地步。而讽刺的是故事原本的驱动力并不在于男性主导的权力争斗，而是王后这样的女性对于自由和爱情的渴望。奥菲利亚的爱情这一次也没有拯救愚昧的王子，但是至少让自己免于毁灭。整部电影为数不多的亮色调全用在安雅这边了……
[C+]听觉和视觉没有问题，如此宏大的场面简直就是一场视觉盛宴。罗伯特•艾格斯运用自己独特的恐怖、诡异的导演风格，为我们展现了一位维京王子是如何被为父复仇多怒火冲昏风头脑，而让自己和对方堕无边无际的地狱的故事。暴力的动作场面和视觉还是很吸引人的，但是这个剧情实在是太老套了，和题材有相同点的《角斗士》比差了太多。感觉导演在商业的逼迫下在艺术方面让步了很多，而导致艺术和商业没有成功结合，最终导致票房惨淡。如果真的是这样的话，我不得不为本片独特的风格和豪华的卡司感到可惜。但是.......单看乔伊的盛世绝颜我就能给五星啊啊啊啊啊！（这一身古装真配合她的气质！）
绝大多数场景的镜头都是固定机位拍摄，好处就是平静，观众不会过多的带入到电影里，但这不能说是拍摄牛逼，只是一种方式而已，尤其是导演想拍成史诗般的戏剧形式，这也造成了一个后果，那就是剧情发展不算明晰，时间线模糊，特别还有很多神神叨叨的内容。
4.0。1.莎士比亚的哈姆雷特无疑是一个天选之子，背上了替父报仇的宿命，彰显的是人文主义者的理想驱散现实黑暗。罗伯特·艾格斯的阿姆雷特是自以为是天选之子却不得不背上替父报仇却只能共毁灭的命运，一个是人的觉醒，一个是人的毁灭，大相径庭。2.连带着北欧风光的摄影更多选择了黑白色彩，尤其是对门的使用，门内门外两个世界，从门中窥视仇人复仇，又从门走向下一代新生。3.如果没有大银幕的直观观感，给予任何过多的评价都显多余。
村斗故事也拍出了史诗气质，神秘主义加持，男女主卖肉力max，借母亲之口言复仇之两面性
将王子复仇记移植到北欧，从叙事上看没有大的突破，不过加入了一些神秘和血腥的元素，这让导演在美学风格上能保留自己的主张，也继承了女巫和灯塔那种凛冽暗黑的基调，算是没有被传统完全钳制，拍出了些自己的腔调，选角也不错，比约克演神婆也太合适了。
其实这次的多数镜头色调还蛮温柔的。
最后索尔吃下食物，不再痛苦，留下了泪。开放式结局，
电影的节奏很稳，实景、音乐，长镜头和妮可基德曼饰演的王后及其设定都是加分项。故事就是简单的报仇故事，不新鲜，但是这种文化历史的厚重感还是非常吸引人的。在此感谢一下游戏《刺客信条·英灵殿》，所谓北欧神神叨叨的风俗习惯，在玩完游戏以后基本已经了解了，更多的注意力可以放在电影本身而不是纠结他们的文化了。
虚实交融和长镜头令人想起伊纳里图的《还魂者》。 诡异民俗的梦呓和嘶吼、星光下的屠杀和交媾。受自然和神灵引领支配的复仇之旅，冰冷国度与炽热火山上的宿命之歌。（口音太重+口齿不清导致很多台词没听懂反而意外加强了某种仿佛神志不清的浸入感🌚）
Fantastic! 史诗感，宿命感。只有北欧这种世界尽头才能烘托出神话一样的故事。英雄
大衛哥連堡對於受奇形怪狀的外部義肢（調整坐姿幫助消化的早餐椅、協助入睡的機器）長期操控而獲致的單純的感官體驗已經不感興趣，他真正想要進行的是一如片中的女藝術家Caprice所言，我們只能一而再，再而三地深入身體內部，從虛空（無組織、無意義的器官群）之中創造出意義／答案。主人公Saul Tenser於結局流下的一滴眼淚既是他終於接受身體進化的象徵，同時亦是他親自承認「混亂的」、「碎片化的」身體成為大腦以外的全新智慧生命的光輝見證：何嘗不是一種近似於宗教式狂喜的超驗性瞬間（新技術、新身體／器官、新藝術三位一體），神似德萊葉鏡頭下的貞德受難。
很戏剧化，很有莎士比亚画面，不过总是有股劲使不出来的感觉
用荒野猎人与灯塔的手法拍了一部哈姆雷特的故事。我的失望在于我以为会是一部关于冰岛的权游。
整体架构讨论关于命运和决心；但其中所填充的剧情连贯度不行，缺少细节上的铺垫
视觉感依旧是柯南伯格擅长的路数，剧情上却更加晦涩，探讨未来身体异变进化的可能性，也捎带了些政治隐喻。
野蛮的欧洲人，北欧人，自己人杀自己人，弟弟杀大哥，儿子杀儿子，儿子杀老妈，侄子杀叔叔，叔叔杀侄子。是映射现在乌克兰跟俄罗斯自相残杀的俄乌战争？还是表达人类的邪恶凶残自取灭亡的兽性？最后的双胞胎出生是诅咒人类的永不休止的自相残杀吗？感觉这只是白人的凶残本性，似乎我们东方人更加温顺更加文明，更加适合群体社会及人类文明的发展，凶残本性的白人总有一天会自取灭亡。
极传统的叙事，但视效做得很不错，喜欢此类莎剧复仇模式的观众可以在熟悉中找到安全感。
