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.
印象中是第一次看莎翁舞台劇形態的電影，覺得演釋得比一般同樣改拍的戲劇好些，但也不見得有什麼令人激賞之處。
i don't get the point of making this movie
拍成了精美的Orson风ppt。丹佐虽然时不时演的露出破绽但还是今年最强男性表演。弗真的比丹佐还不贴贵族，难怪颁奖季一路被无视。在可看性上《蜘蛛巢城》赢太多了
比想象中的好太多！剧情让我心碎无数次……Troye久违的主演影视作品，质量不错！Trouble好好听！看了剧也能get到Wait了！（因为歌好听plus看照片把片尾一秒不差看完了🤣
关于亲情，关于友情，关于爱情。
青春是塞满诱惑的爆米花，是充满快乐的仙女棒，是写满遗憾的帆布鞋，更是永不停歇的夏天。
刺杀侍卫时的内心
在纠结三分还是四分的时候给了四分，至少我的心情蛮轻松的～
我说泰国人别太会摸鱼，ppt凑个片是吧，支线剧搞快点。
The lines are incomprehensible.
就，有点，忒艺术了，我一介凡人彷佛回到了若干年前看第七封印时的心情和感受。
表现主义但是黑人版麦克白，简称「老表麦克黑」。莎翁的这个故事告诉我们：家有贤妻，丈夫不遭横事。以及，麦克多蒙德的脚还挺好看的……
属于是封校实在无聊需要找部糖水片来打发时间.
黑白美学真的太抢戏了，以至于听不懂的台词和蹩脚的剧情都不是事儿了。艺术片的品质，但是演员表演真的就还好，尤其嫂子真的没什么发挥空间。
这是大家都熟悉的歌手兼演员戳爷主演的同性新片，电影里有很多镜头都是怼脸拍，但是戳爷的美貌依然让人炫目。
「To bed. 」
创新是有的，极为罕见地把边缘角色罗斯塑造成了一个阴谋家，继而给几场重要的戏（班柯儿子的出逃、麦克白夫人的死）增添了暧昧性。服化道上极简甚至还有表现主义的影子，转场的效率极高。麦克白拍到今天太多珠玉在前了，但这一版我看下来还是挺畅快的，大科恩这次单飞还算可以。
太太太太好看了！剧本删减得高潮连连 但是极简的风格让人实在是想不通为啥费尽心机想从一个漏水的混凝土建筑搬到另一个混凝土建筑（不过也正好反映了对权力的盲目追求的无意义吧……）在铺满黑白落叶的走廊揍小西华德的画面不要太帅！
更喜欢贾斯汀·库泽尔的《麦克白》，但是这种极简主义的舞台剧风格也非常迷人，尤其是摄影、美术的艺术造诣让人拍手叫绝，包括那专属于A24电影的诡谲之气。
挺甜的
