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.
这部动画对于过去一整年都在纠结“人生的意义”的我如同一场及时雨。22坐在阶梯上抬头望向金黄的梧桐叶说出“Maybe sky-watching can be my spark"的画面如此动人，让我回想起来加州之前每个能踩着脆响的黄叶走来走去的秋天。幸运如我能在日常生活里体验到很多简单的快乐，而不是像Joe一样对自己身处的海洋视而不见，我为什么还要执着于一个特定的目标、追求或是意义？
的确在今年看，具有抚慰人心的力量，但也就抚慰了不到3分钟吧～
先不说把灵魂窄化成“知道自己人生的意义”有多低龄，就说灵魂这种又虚又大的概念，是靠何等的鬼扯才能搭建出一套完整又基本合乎逻辑的小宇宙。。。这和《头脑特工队》不一样，性格形成论这种东西，很容易理解并产生共情，可是说到灵魂，说白了，纯靠编了。
#电影院# “灵魂是压不死的，生活才会压垮你。”久违的院线佳作，但也只是短暂的心灵鸡汤，回到现实我的生活还是一地鸡毛～
一部迪士尼皮克斯近乎满分的作品；
惟江上之清风，与山间之明月，耳得之而为声，目遇之而成色。取之无禁，用之不竭。是造物者之无尽藏也，而吾与子之所共适。
音乐和美术好评，修复的魅力也好评，故事稍微有点虎头蛇尾
留待2020最末上映简直再合适不过了，生死边界的《寻梦环游》加上活在当下的普世劝诫，不仅起到疗愈效果，更告诫观众，即便2020年又是未来10年最好一年，也别悲观或执着，过一天算一天，感受温度触摸落叶打开耳目吧。这个劝诫，也像观影过程一样，全场观众不吭一声，在黑暗里，耐心等待着漫长的结尾字幕后出现一个交待”22“在人间的菜单，结果灵界那个算盘判官跳出来，”快回家吧，电影结束了“。是的，别执念，很多时候，可能什么都等不来。
全片最感动我的是22对走路、呼吸、味觉、那些活着的触感的描绘。很疗愈，让心脏重拾「活着真好」的跳动。举重若轻间就把生死那么沉重的事给讨论了，既成人又童话。扣一星是因为画风实在喜欢不起来，总觉得灵魂长得太草率了。
赞美当下、肯定世俗生活、强调生命体验的重要性——同样以爵士乐为底，堪称是一剂针对《爆裂鼓手》以及将其中的成王败寇逻辑奉为圭臬的丛林法则崇拜者的药方，即使会被看作是鸡汤安慰剂，但内核仍然深得我心。把朴素哲学理念用华丽概念+通俗故事包装起来，再润物细无声地层层拆开，是皮克斯看家本领，对Pete Docter而言也是驾轻就熟了。画风创意无需更多赞美（纽约的现代艺术环境，的确适合线条风灵魂会计师一展身手），但此次对灵魂学院的宏大设定没有更多延展，更多集中在“讲道理”上。配乐又是 Trent Raznor & Atticus Ross，真爱了。
以前看这部片子哭。别人说是因为我善良，我洋洋得意，但是今天偶然明白，我哭是因为我明白22号。我为春夏秋冬而感动，我享受沐雨披阳，但我同时也不想活。对有些人来说，活着已经很努力了
配乐甚好，凝神进入“忘我之境”；金句频出——“灵魂不会击垮你，只有生活才会。”笑点与泪点都掐得很准，含猫量十足，一部特别适合年底收尾的片——“珍惜当下的每一刻”。
看完感觉被包裹在柔软的毛毯里，灵魂得到安抚。在皮克斯的世界里，造物是宽容的。每一个得到地球通行证的人，他的到来都是因为曾找到那朵触发生之喜悦的火花啊。一旦这样想，就觉得平凡地活着，即便只是感受风带来的气息、伸手接住金黄落叶这样微小的瞬间，也足以称为生命的意义的。
皮克斯技术上无可挑剔，现实的纽约和幻想的天国的中转站都极具辨识度和想象力，但最终主题在一如既往地感人的同时，道理却有些经不得细想，乔伊最后能发现通向生命的最后一块拼图的基础还是他在事业和理想上取得了成功，虽然电影在故意淡化这个事实，但如果是普通人的话，没有寄托的生命中，失败是否也是我们感受生活的力量呢？会想到《醉乡民谣》中那个同样在纽约流浪着的孤独的音乐人，但那只猫只是他孤独时的陪伴，并没有帮他找到成功之路，乔伊是幸运的，他的天赋在巧合的时间点被发现，而失败者却不得不接受自己被时代抛弃的宿命，我更喜欢后者关于失败者的故事，因为生命有些时候不能只是享受，而是需要用痛苦与绝望去体验、去超越的，所以电影中那些迷失在放逐地中被黑灰裹挟的奇怪灵魂才是我们最正常的存在形态吧
比较像《It’s a wonderful life》的简化版，设定铺得很满，情感内核一泡污，最后的bonus life毫无意义。当某Jerry说出“火花不等于人生目的”的时候，“soul”的概念就变成灌输性质了，诺兰看了想流泪 with yy
由《头脑特工队》作为灵感、并拓展补充的性格重塑与生活启示，延续《寻梦环游记》对死亡等更多深刻话题的普及教育，再来点《善地》的即视感，本以为最多就是部“集大成之作”，工业用最娴熟的功夫来拼贴。但看完之后却没有犹豫地想要给出今年第一个电影五星，它塑造了更为迷人的故事世界，抛出了更为深刻的“哲学”问题，还有佐以菲姐的绝佳配音，几乎占齐了所有击中了我的点。2020年彼此之间最平凡却又最难能可贵的寄语是“好好活着、珍惜生命”，去重新拾起那些或许在“正常生活”被遗忘的美好，并选择将危机后作为一场重新开始...属于今年的启示都在Joe和22的故事找到了。真正的Movie of the year.
对我而言这只是没什么想象力满是说教的心灵鸡汤片。乔伊与22的关系没有形成强烈的互相作用力，更多的只让我感觉到乔伊单向的对22的影响和改变，乔伊与他母亲之间的矛盾属于在外，并且化解的过程也很简单，而他的内在的困境并不明显。整个故事走向很模式化，并且已经没有了皮克斯以往令人称道的想象力，甚至从头到尾满口的“爵士”到头来也没能让人感受到爵士乐的魅力。
是一群由衷快乐的创作者的作品。小时候实在是太怕那个老狐狸精了吓得我没看完。
久久闷着的心忽然舒展开来，化而为止不住的泪水。这是一部让人跟自己和解的电影，毕竟感动是人类的本能。
有没有人觉得那个年轻女子的狐狸精长得极像犯病病小姐？
