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.
冲着黑白片，看了半小时，实在看不下去。天热，先洗洗吧。
望远镜处的搭话。对话当然干涩尴尬难以为继。点破生气过往。
英国体制内还是有清醒的人的。这场灾难也会让越来越多的人从麻木中觉醒。
这样的吗。。幸福是梦幻，很值得吧。可以一起吗
当新冠侵入疗养院后，剧情变得压抑起来，各种怼脸特写和长镜头加重了这份窒息感，男女主都贡献出了精湛演技。就是不太喜欢结局，女主行为已经越过了职业边界，因此制造出的冲突和控诉反而显得跳脱和生硬。
英国国家医疗服务体系不建议公众佩戴口罩，因为在新冠病毒流行期间这可能会影响对医护人员的口罩供应。
对洪常秀没什么感觉，但是金敏喜姐姐好美呀，能感受到导演对她的全部偏爱，可以说这部电影就是洪常秀给她的情书。虽然镜头大部分时间都追随着小说家，然而我们都知道真正的主角是谁，一遍一遍的“你真漂亮”，毫不吝啬的称赞和维护。很喜欢他们几个人一起聚在桌子上喝酒谈天，过往纠缠和新生情感不分彼此地连在一起。电影大部分时间都是固定镜头，单调安静地令人着迷，但是金敏喜给洪常秀注入了一丝生机，就像戈达尔镜头下的安娜卡里娜，最后金敏喜姐姐扎着凌乱的头发拿着花笑得开心的样子，轻轻一声“我爱你”，黑白变为彩色。
有很多想说的，但其实又没啥好说的。我们都是一粒灰。
洪常秀在宠老婆这一块超越了咱们早年的国师，不过主题仍是洪常秀的思考，电影仍是工具，生活才是一切的起源。
听到朱迪的利物浦口音，瞬间被拉回在利物浦学习生活的那段时间，想念
值得玩味的自我指涉（影像会有超越文学的力量——更原始，但也保有文学捕捉深层感觉的自由灵动），女作家替洪在虚拟时空向被动的敏递出情书，而整部电影又在此之上向现实的敏表达爱意。尾声她捧着一束花，彩色终穿透黑白，蓝色大衣，红色马甲。好浪漫。
最后的片头导演和金互道llove you 的时候 观众都是布景了
电视剧，背景是新冠初期一家养老院，养老院则是英国新冠死亡的重灾区。影片起首不凡，简洁，幽默，让观众很快入戏。中间那段新护理人员独自值班二十小时的情节，很是揪心且感人。其后的发展，方向就有些游离了。为了强调男女主角之间的情感，安排女护理员违规带出痴呆病人，既与主题不符，且有些太逾越常规了。
前80分钟可以给五星 后面剧情确实有点意外。很多细节都引起共情，2020年2月还在伦敦做care assistant的我，如果三月没有回国，这也许就是我的故事…

今年最典型最通俗的一部新冠题材电影。制作团队用护理院这个切入点，非常高明的将本片和以往的传染病题材电影区分开来；在视听语言上，大量特写的使用也是本片的一个亮点，非常好的展现了人物情绪的变化。但电视电影的制作水平、欠缺雕琢的台词、尴尬的感情线还是拉低了电影的档次。光看前60分钟其实值得四星。
72届柏林国际电影节评审团大奖。如果没有金敏喜，洪的尴尬美学还会不会百看不厌
本片明艳的黑白摄影，显得凝重，很符合洪几乎定格的场景互动风格，很显然在这里，洪的推镜更慢了，情节的衔接更舒服，但也没失去洪独特的文本性。
新冠被当作背景借用了一回，没有正面展现疫情的残酷，而是对比刻画了特定形势下的温情。PS.利物浦口音确实非常有特色
结尾科莫在警车上直接对镜喊话，那时这已经不仅仅是一部电影，而使我想起在另一部同题纪录片里同样对镜喊话的那个人。
