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.
【心有温暖，向往光明】今天和《向着明亮那方》发行方聊了很久，关于影片，关于年后艺管方向，关于对原创动画的推广，收获满满。电影简单而明媚，画风多样。却有可能因为推广费用而没太多人知悉，太遗憾了！真心希望喜欢画画的孩子能看到这部电影
还好吧，感觉很平淡，可能这就是导演想表达的东西吧
电影院里的人坐不满一排，这一排里——
生活本来就是创作的原料，我们要有一双发现美的眼睛。一部以小见大的动画电影，让我们看到了不同的爱，以及那些被我们长期忽视的情感。
国产加一星鼓励。但严格来说都不是很出色的作品，他们只是生活的一隅，照映在绘本上而已。
七个故事都很喜欢，最喜欢的还是糖水铺的故事。
吹爆《小火车》，其次陈晨导演的动画经验还是比较丰富的，《翼娃子的星期天》可以排在第二。这两个故事都挺有生活质感的，比较适合成年人看。
很有意思的绘本电影。期待更多的作品！小火车看得我眼泪怎么都停不下来，bgm好好听。糖水铺像是回到了平时很多个和朋友约糖水的晚上，运镜也很神奇，很喜欢从芝麻糊开始的那一段运镜。哼哈将军非常有趣的角度，也很温暖。喜欢w
前两个单元故事小娃配音有点出戏，这是一个莫得感情的朗读机器吗？尤其是《萤火虫女孩》，看着又美又萌的动画，听到这个小男娃内心毫无波澜的配音……
一共7个故事，7个导演，7种不一样的感觉。与其说是给孩子们看的，但我们哪个大人没有感同身受的片段呢？7个故事主题从童年、成长、亲情、坚强、关爱留守老人、神话等，故事很温暖，动画做得很好。很推荐父母和小朋友一起去支持，很良心的一部电影。同时我也祝福电影获得理想的成绩。感谢国内动画创作者为开拓动画表达空间，
1小兔的问题，2萤火虫女孩（司机退休前一天的奇遇，安房直子味道），3小火车（暗喻，原来是假肢，最后真相揭开泪目），4蒯伯的糖水铺（普通人之间的温情），5哼将军与哈将军(原来是二孩问题，最后反转不错），6外婆(很喜欢的教材画风，小推车里仿佛装了外婆的一生），7翼娃子的星期天(跟着父母来打拼的孩子的宅店一天，视角很温暖很棒)
平淡的故事，有一定的想象力，时代感绘画风格，温暖治愈，但还是太平了。
看完点映印象最深的故事是《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》。当看到“外婆用粗糙的手帮我擦去眼泪”的时候直接破防了。小时候每当我受委屈的时候，外婆总是乐呵呵地安慰我，想着办法哄我高兴，从来没有见过外婆伤心难过的时候。当时就在想长大后也要变着法地去哄外婆高兴，然而她却离开了我...每次想到她，都会有满满的温暖，和深埋心中的一丝悔恨。影片的细节、情节都非常的真实，难得的好作品。

今天打卡了中国首部绘本动画电影《向着明亮那方》的点映场，就如介绍中所讲的，照亮童年，为爱发光，七个导演取材原创的绘本改变了七个短篇，串联起来！用了旁白的介绍引出故事。有古有今，有笑有哭，特别有教育意义！大孩子回忆过往，小朋友富有教育意义，一举两得！我们还可以把电影翻译成英语的，相信国外小朋友也会喜欢😊
中国动画继续加油吧 五岁儿子觉得无聊 而我觉得画风奇怪 配乐奇怪 多数讲情怀但我没有找到共鸣
5 10.5
好看，过瘾！在电影院里不知不觉就过去了一个多小时。身边有个小丫头从影片中段开始就不停抽泣，她应该也是个内心柔软的人吧！《哼将军和哈将军》对于我这样一个有着双胞胎姐姐的人来说，看起来更能感受到双胞胎之间的羁绊——我们在小的时候也经常打闹玩耍，为了分清楚彼此闹出了很多不开心的事情，但是在面对共同的问题时，又会表现的无比团结和坚韧，我的姐姐——她就是我的软肋，她也是我的铠甲！
和我儿子一起去看的，第一个单元故事实在太低幼了，但是后面几个非常不错，就我个人来看，我喜欢«外婆的铁皮轮椅»和«一家人»，我儿子喜欢«哼将军和哈将军»和«外婆的铁皮轮椅»。我还挺奇怪他居然会喜欢«外婆的铁皮轮椅»，因为他的时候他有说怎么看不懂的样子，但是最后还是喜欢上了那种叙事风格。而对于我这种70后，那种感觉真的就让拽着我回到以前一样，看完之后，我真的好想我的外婆和舅舅。
《小兔的问题》可爱，这个太适合给小朋友看了
