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.
冲突都是因为爱，然后又都回到了爱，有点李安早年的感觉了。Back to love，在很多时候妈妈就是Love的意思吧。
好复古的武侠味儿，故事后半略潦草，但是又有什么关系呢，喜欢。
潮汕排外这个话题一点都不新鲜了，事实不假，但热情待人更是真。好比娶老婆嫁女儿，其实更多的不是排斥这个人，经年累月的习惯令他们无法接受背景。
浓浓的潮汕风味，细节这方面做得很不错，把潮汕一些比较特色的传统文化展示在大屏幕。潮汕老一辈对于外省的偏见，要找潮汕媳妇的执念，尤其是老一辈还是比较有传统的观念存在，都很好出现在了电影里面，还有潮汕地区的特色文化，对于潮汕人来看，是非常能有触动的。
在娱乐片冲刺着流量面孔，浓妆艳抹的影视中，该片充斥着真实感，事件，人物，习俗，爱情等与现实接近，这一点很难得。
原本只是一部及格且后半段多了不少会扣分的戏码，但是中间不少宛如将我的生活搬上大银幕，以及最后收尾那场让我不知不觉笑中落泪的戏，加上片尾彩蛋以手机拍摄的伪纪录片段落令我眼眶湿润，真的加了太多太多的分了，或许最真诚的出发才是最能够打动观众们的吧
7分。打斗场面不错，凌厉凶狠，而且场景很富有艺术感，有点《绣春刀》的感觉，只是故事太过一般。
这样的故事在中国很多吧
毫不拖泥带水，武侠最迷人的就是虚拟世界的王法和公道，瞎子带来世界的光明，岂不怪哉！
三星半，谢苗人设不错，但部分日式服化道太恶心了。
剧情极度空洞，连国产片用来塞时长的煽情桥段都没有╮(╯▽╰)╭
一看就是低成本小制作，服化道以及CG质量差强人意，毫无古装质感。短评里吹有盛唐服化道魅力的，良心不痛吗？唯一可圈可点的大概就是武打场面。女主不停重复的“我就想要个公道”让我恍惚以为在看《秋菊打官司》或者《我不是潘金莲》。
三星半，短小精悍，干净俐落，镜头也有设计，但感觉审美有点日式。
不想说打击的话，也不想昧着良心硬捧。最大感触是，好想念徐浩峰啊，不知道他的作品还能不能被看到，你是一个门派的全部未来，一个人，没有同类——想念徐浩峰的作品。
好看！写实而温馨的小成本潮汕方言喜剧电影，妈妈这个角色简直太真实，信念感浑然天成，很喜欢这部片子，潮汕的传统文化保存的太好，以至于潮汕话至今完全一句也听不懂hhh
这是最近几年最好看的武侠电影，这是一部《成乙传》。导演试图把影片制作成一个类似游侠传的影视版，全片以倪燕的口吻讲述，再以她的讲述结尾，以十步杀一人开始，以深藏功与名结尾。本片是一部短小精悍的作品，叙述流畅不拖沓，主要角色塑造丰满、情绪递进合理，主题立意相当中式，这一点非常好！大唐风尘三侠的故事每每想起都让人有意气风发之感。胡笳的意象非常好，这是能够让每一个在中国文化熏陶下成长的人引起共鸣的暗号。本片故事情节设计相对老套、缺乏新意，部分动作设计能看出来是为了视觉效果，但是有些很不合理。火剑那段让我想起了《东邪西毒》里梁朝伟的火剑，起火没问题，也就吓吓人了，附着伤人我是真的不大信。
整个故事和细节都给人好真实的感觉，拍得真好
前几分钟有点那意思，美术摄影不错，动作戏可以再流畅些 到女主哥哥回来开始拉垮了，谢苗表演痕迹太重，演大侠不用使劲儿，松弛克制，说台词也太用力，仿佛在说快看我的下颌线！快看我学的谷子地！女主演的也很套路，电影学院暑假作业的感觉，判官也喊着演，是导演的失控
证明了国产电影还是懂得审美的，不管是表演和镜头，还是服化道。更可贵的是，完整流畅地讲了一个故事，不用很复杂，但能让观众（主角）直面惨淡的和血淋淋的人生。★★★★☆
现在中国内娱这个空中粪坑，任何不屎的作品都值得五星。我欠这片子六块钱。
