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.
什么时候东亚家庭的representation可以不再是功夫和洗衣店了 用sci fi的外壳讲了一个很规矩的故事
男的公鸭噪音，蹩脚的中文，还有过家家似的剧情，让人特别出戏
十几个导演，几十部作品，上百次致敬，成千种感情，万亿般可能
无厘头，被剪辑搞得有些摸不着头绪。剧情要表达的思想不多，宛如棉花糖，看似花团锦簇，实则入口空虚。
全宇宙里面只有一个宇宙是最重要的，那就是你所在的那个宇宙。
解释一切然后解构一切，对抗虚无的诱惑，最终回归真实世界里看似琐碎的真实情感里包含的意义。
我对这片最不满意的地方恰恰在于标榜天马行空的本片的其实太不天马行空，太缺乏想象力了。只要观众熟悉一般的剧作套路、有一定观影量，了解编导他们那拨人当中有不少在美国人文学院体制下学习英语二手欧陆哲学这一语境，那么本片剧本的创作意图对观众就是透明的，几乎可以判断出每一个剧情转折。而观众发现本片剧本潜在的目的论结构以后自然就会意识到本片不但没有真正令人惊喜的地方，而且内含的潜在的目的论结构自身就与剧本的核心逻辑完全矛盾。丰富的影像文本互文并没有给本片带来真正“不可能”的、崭新的理解维度，一切都是披着“天马行空”外衣的陈词滥调。
有2个小时沉浸式心理咨询内味了 就要是电影院里没有爆满 我就放声大哭的那种 三层口罩都能哭湿透的那种 单方面宣布杨紫琼女士是我psychodrama亲妈
最后半个小时看的目瞪口呆 你有那么多的选择那么多的世界 为什么还选择我做你的女儿 因为我一直一直都想和你在一起 导演你是真的牛批
可能我的心是石头，对和解无感、对世界上另一个我无感。以为是天才之作，结果是优秀学生的创意作品，报了太高期待，看的时候还是有些失落的。对于类型的元素也会觉得不喜欢，有时候觉得是用一种类型的风格去反类型，依然局限在一种叙事风格里。
但这是个太敷衍的方式，特别是当世界的无数种可能在女儿面前无差别的展开时，爱的这点救赎力量就更值得怀疑。
父母不看好，自有几分道理，嫁给软弱之人，并非明智之举，婚姻向下兼容，无异于自废武功。幻想生活在别处，抚平伤痕，弥补关系，悦纳认同，找寻宇宙，超越建立在失败之上，这正是意义所在。
花里胡哨的塑料感，让我想起儿时崇拜的金句大师贾志新说过的，我不管她本质怎么样，这现象我受不了。我管这种电影叫海王电影，搞得太多，却不负责。
影片共鸣共情的地方真的太多，存在和虚无主义，唯物or唯心，爱与被爱，家庭纽带和独立，关怀牵绊还是放手，善良对抗暴力等等，瞬息间拨动心弦后劲实在太大，这是值得二刷三刷去玩味其中的奥妙。
个人觉得电影到变成石头的时候就可以，后面中国家庭式的团结和好太理想化了，父母和孩子之间的矛盾并不是通过说教才能化解。
多元宇宙中心呼唤爱只会轻飘飘地把前片搭建起的现实意义摧毁殆尽。生活逼疯母亲，母亲逼疯女儿，父辈没资格在疯女人发完疯之后出来收拾烂摊子占尽便宜。
而当我回头时，幸好那座叫做【家】的岛屿还在。
三星半。很简单的核心思想，填充过载的梗。看得我好累，头疼。
太难看了 跟青春变形记一样难看 原谅我无法跟一个为了让亲妈完全接受自己是女同于是试图毁灭全宇宙的自私华裔共情 更何况这电影还拍得节奏混乱 画面又丑又脏 好莱坞真的找不到年轻的好看点的华裔演员了吗？
每年都会有那么几部好评度颇高的爆款电影冒出，但每每看完，惊喜都会变成失望。这部电影给我的感觉也一样，它的点子真的很有创意吗？我怎么感觉蛮俗套的，最终迎来的亲切大和解也很无力。如果我们把电影切开，从呈现的场面上看，它无非就是一段接一段的动作打斗戏吧，随意出拳，没有章法，看得我脑袋嗡嗡响，说是喜剧的话，全片唯一把我逗笑的是那两个坐插天王...好恶趣味。另外，男主演真的好像成龙！
