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.
这次又来了个杠上开花，放大了当下最流行的少数族裔奋斗、加入中年危机、家庭的温暖、外加一段超越语言的国际黄昏恋，再来点若有若无的男上加男私家侦探二人转。
这片儿的宣传做得是真好，抖音天天给我哐哐推，看过的大佬们天天对着我嗷嗷哭。不信这个邪去看了。看完觉得如果有人被打动了，打动他的可能不是电影，而是梅艳芳这个人，这一整个时代。快歌不是唱兴奋，是唱反叛；慢歌不是唱伤心，而是唱唏嘘。
最后Olivia还是没有和Antonio在一起，好可惜
本来有点抗拒，但看起来还是很美好的，给底层人民一个两小时的梦幻假象。
其实平平无奇，倒不如制作一部纪录片。与那段岁月隔得太短，很多东西还是谈不了。最令我动容的还是梅姑最后那段日子，之前我一直想着这部电影怎么能没有似水流年和夕阳之歌呢，没想到似水流年在里面的确被提到了，梅姑演唱夕阳之歌的片段，更是让我起鸡皮疙瘩，那应该是最出彩的一段，即使有很多情感因素是源于电影之外的。最后还是很感谢仍有那么一群人没有忘记梅艳芳，不管它是不是一部商业片。7分吧。
以男女主年龄差距，导演还好没有恶趣味的让他们两人在一起。在看过原版之后，这部翻拍我觉得可以及格线以上，剧情，人物塑造比原版更充实，喜剧效果也还可以。
对着梅艳芳三个字，还是打不出低分。
爱情喜剧果然不适合我...不过有些台词挺现实的。
2021.11.15，上海百丽宫影城（LUXE陆家嘴中心店），李梦楠。 流水账叙事结构，想说的太多，全部只能浅尝辄止，深入不下去。观众需要自己做很多关于背景和梅艳芳的功课，加入观众对那个时代的滤镜加持，确实感人，但是如果跳出这些背景的烘托，纯从电影艺术的角度来说，本片仅仅及格。
没想到泪点的地方还挺多的，芳华绝代live那场的片段出来的时候一瞬间就哭了
我觉得女主的鼻子一定是很多人向往的类型，脸盲如我都记住了。好几个地方都笑出猪声了，比瞬息全宇宙好看~
改编的版本还是挺不错的，加入了族裔和家庭的元素，从选角上也避免了落入俗套的窠臼感——没人会磕起男女主的cp吧？只是女主外形不错，但演技实在是太差，且最后再强行来一个girl helps girl的情节显得有点楞。
看得出那份小心翼翼和欲言又止，这对于一位时代巨星而言显得太温吞，但也确实有感受到主创们用情之深。阿梅，有好多人记得你！王丹妮有用功过，好评。但她不是梅艳芳。没人可以做梅艳芳。今晚听二十遍《夕阳之歌》。
比较平庸的传记片，剧本流水账，真实影像和电影交织，既没有纪录片的真实感，也没有电影式的张力，真实影像带来的真实感，转眼就被电影影像给消解了，看完就感觉梅艳芳本人是极具魅力的，虽然之前没有关注过，但这种感受部分也会来自于脑补，电影没有很好的表达。张国荣选角是败笔，或者说没人能演的了张国荣。
【2】让一个被创作者主动阉割的形象在银幕上再次盛放，Anita本人绝对不会接受。更何况这浮光掠影的片段化叙事，根本找不到重心所在，反复插入的纪录影像难道不是心虚？外表相像与否没那么重要，无法捕捉出对象的灵魂才最遗憾。
泊车员怎么了？把别的国家的人拍的这么刻板和低微本身就是一种歧视
挺套路但是处理得不错，这个故事里面都是好人，除了渣男
剧情老套，还算搞笑，属于爆米花电影了……拉美裔和黑人都照顾到了，顺便用爱与家庭来贯穿整个剧情。
4.男人在对付女人上都是天生的演员，如果证明不了他对你是否忠诚，那不如在背地里观察他的言行是否一致。
这个叫黄世宁的导演拍的两部片都觉得牛逼，把控这种温情小品很厉害，女主真是我的最爱
