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.
太肤浅又无聊了，像一帮 MBA 参加政治讽刺写作兴趣班搞出来的课堂作业
看完风评调整了下预期后，当成纯逗逼无脑holiday comedy看还是挺好笑的。Kinda too on the nose & over the top tho.
爽！又好笑又悲凉，愚蠢的人类啊，可赶紧毁灭吧。《好莱坞左翼工作者协会正告美国人民书》
我們人類基本上沒什麼救了。經濟和思想意識之間的區別在現在通過網絡和傳媒所造成的割裂隔閡有增無減。尤其是現如今我們如此需要喜劇與幽默去消解所有問題（電影本身提到這一點，但自身也是喜劇形式就很荒誕地更展現了這一現實，不是說喜劇形式不對不好，而是這一現象確實值得想想）總之笑完以後再看看現實，感覺加倍抑鬱
想起来《华尔街之狼》，但这部电影的讽刺太多，反而失去了核心靶点。
比我想象中更荒诞更严肃更直接。好笑吗，是好笑的，尤其是对美国网络梗以及最近两三年政治话题有一定了解的会get到非常非常多没直说但不隐晦的“致敬”（嘲讽）。但说实在的看着现实，远看疫情各地摆烂，近看西安现在一片混乱还各种捂嘴，看里面的剧情时反而不觉得有多迷幻了：I get it life sucks, humans sucks. 后期完全就是看人类（美国）发疯摆烂，小李子和大表姐这两位主角的心理心态变化也尤其出彩
地球上的弃民经历着apocalypse，逃走的人结局却是异教徒的。整体有点像《奇爱博士》。其中一个细节，大数据分析李子的结局是dying alone，应该是估计他会上了逃离地球的飞船然后睡眠舱出现问题。
就算我们能预见历史，也不会阻止它发生。就像即将到来的会议，也许是某场毁灭性灾难的起点，然而人们鼓舞欢腾。。。
大牌云集还拍得挺好玩的。人类不行，美国不行，x国当然也不行。
编剧很厉害，几乎把能想到的段子都放了进来，而剪辑又让这一切脱离了低级的通货电影。所有人像磕嗨了一样，做着没心没肺的木偶，而操纵着自己的，正是这整个时代，娱乐至死的时代，可笑又可悲。
美国文娱界倾巢而出拍了这个片子为了讽刺、恶心和鞭尸懂王，但在这个疫情已经完全失控的时代，这反而成了一部讽刺睡王的片子，笑死。
剧情有点虎头蛇尾了。美国人不要抬头，千万不要，皇冠会掉。
在这娱乐化的世界里，只要不是亲眼可以感受到的灭顶之灾，不少民众还是宁愿沉浸在花花世界里。虽然片名是不要抬头，但是我们还是得勇敢抬起头。
低于预期，但看着也挺唏嘘这个疯魔艹蛋又真实存在还得活在里面的世界。多半星因为是甜茶颜狗呀。
6.0/10。观看体验并不愉快，不是影片造成的，是它映射了太多我们在现实中正经历的磨难，与此同时却又完全不留存一丝希望。它述说的苦难离我们太近，它给予的光芒又几乎没有。彗星撞地球以及更多具有灾难片标签的电影一直以来都在以其幻想——人类战胜自然——满足人类内心超越平凡的欲望。不过现在电影的造梦属性停止了，被Meta、政治和这个疫情折磨得精疲力尽的人们终于能在这里平静地迎接世界末日的到来了。这种意义上来说，电影里的人们是幸福的，至少他们不必再煎熬地存活于世了。技术上说，这部电影还是太美国了。高情商的说法是它找准了自己的主要受众群体美国观众，低情商的表述就是政治游戏和科技生活局限了美国电影对更广阔世界的审视也限制了其对更宏大问题的思考。不过想点好的，人类依旧能戏谑自己，也就意味着灵魂依旧没有消逝。
时代众生相：太多的人不得要领，又言之凿凿。
张铁林演还珠里的乾隆腔：他sexy在哪儿啊？！
稀碎无聊的剧情硬塞了两个半小时，所谓的黑色讽刺与幽默也没有什么特别的艺术表现力，缭乱的快速剪辑也只是给老牛拉车的节奏增添了几分烦躁感而已。有一点倒是比较讽刺，那就是在国内，能让大牌巨星聚的这样齐的话也只有歌唱正能量主旋律的时候了
如何评论这部电影，代表了你对人类绝望的程度
扣分的主要原因，这其实是一个纪录片，而且有过度美化之嫌。所以有点欺骗观众[破涕为笑]。
