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.
用很诙谐的故事，讲述出既定的社会现实，过于这就是面对生活的态度吧
日本是个高龄化严重的国家，这部电影反映中年人对于养老的恐慌，上有父母，下有儿女，日常花销，中年就业，无一不是压力。能拍的跳动，有朝气也是不错了。我国上调了退休年龄，十几年后我们的问题会和日本一样突出。题外话，能娶到这样的老婆太幸福了。女儿任性的未婚先孕，儿子搬出家的任性，同事任性的辞职，婆婆任性的生活，反观儿媳真的太辛苦了。任性点！希望我们都可以任性点。
最后的解决方案是1子女自己想开了不问家里要钱了2婆婆想开了不过奢侈日子了3有钱小姑想开了把婆婆接走照顾并且不计较赡养费了4老公想开了去求发达的大学同学帮忙同学也收留了老公给了个高管当5卖掉房子还清房贷跑去合租公寓了。看完的话我觉得比较有用的地方可能在于不要焦虑，真正在生活中寻找出路比做什么充分的准备要有用，眼界打开并积极乐观的面对一切那就都不是问题之类的。类似于车到山前必有路吧。

警惕消费主意，存钱存钱~
怎么可以用那么欢快的音乐搭配双双事业，女儿怀孕，老人被诈骗的场面，完全不能轻松起来啊！
一部特别温馨感人的家庭轻喜剧，生老病死，人生中最沉重的事情，在电影中，以喜剧的形式表现了出来，而最后那场草笛光子扮演的婆婆“活人葬礼”，更是让人笑中带泪，十分感人！
刚开始看没多久就诧异：天海佑希跟松重丰都能演一对了吗？！结果一查年龄，好吧，两人也就差4岁而已……但是女王这哪里像是50过半的人啊！而且即便是演这种家庭主妇的角色，也是信手拈来，太棒了。回到电影，其实还挺好玩的，全程也基本都在咯咯傻笑，但多少也对一些情节稍有不满。比如为啥只有女主人才着急啊，连个包都不舍得给自己买，男主人还有孩子们至少前半程完全没有要让人省心的样子。实在是太窒息了，这种生活焦虑以及对女性的束缚大概只有东亚人才能懂吧！编导可能自己也解决不了，所以最终还是把焦点转移到了所谓“婆媳关系”以及“分享租房”这样的社会议题上，倒也不是不行，但毕竟那个压力还是在的啊，太美化了现实了吧。看完除了更恐婚恐育，好像也没有别的办法。

share house 我的未来

简介能不能别瞎写？400万明明是一开始支付公公葬礼的好嘛，另外哪里借用女儿结婚的钱了？？？
中年双双失业，又遇各种需要花钱的事，仅有的一些存款快要告罄，剧中主角夫妇瞬间经历人生中最令人恐惧的时期。电影以相当夸张的喜剧形式，表现了日本社会对于养老的恐慌。不过，影片的结尾，以共享式的公社生活，作为一种理想化的解决方式，只能说太过乌托邦也太幼稚了。
哈哈哈哈哈哈又好笑又可怕哈哈哈哈哈，我要去存钱了，果然最后还是积蓄增加的那一瞬间感到安心放松啊
sharehouse真的是可行的办法之一了 直接一栋房 在一个离城市不远的郊区
看日本的这类电影总是让人陡然有了继续努力生活的勇气
表面是反应现实剧，实际用超清新治愈的叙述讲离谱故事……
正好上周看了原著，很小的一本书，篇幅不长，但人物刻画得还不错，话题聚焦养老的话题，整体偏都市现实向。电影改成了喜剧风，找了天海佑希来主演（突然就想看了）但其实比较出彩的剧情放在了乐观婆婆这个人物上，看起来不如题目那么严肃沉重了，可能是日本人的一种阿Q精神的展现吧—虽然生活艰难，家人在一起的话，就还是值得努力活一下的。
乏善可陈，直到！天海佑希困顿之际去找父母借钱被干脆回绝，反被求援那场戏，父母子女亲情之下作为累赘彼此供养的现实昭然若揭，没有道德说教，没有父爱如山母爱如海，坦坦荡荡的丑陋和善良，在八点档到处都寻不见的东西，被一个极尽夸张搞笑之能的screwball comedy光明磊落拍出来了，实属难得
我心里的5分全给天海祐希，但仔细想想真碰到这种现实状况哪有什么解决办法，还是跳海吧，哈哈🥲
