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.
当剪辑的审美与品控权握在导演手中，影片的模样如脱胎换骨、浴火重生。张力拉满、韵味留足、丰富的细节支撑、弱化的快消属性——导演于有限主题空间之中施展的有限导演能力，一方面提高了影片质量一方面让系列作品（宇宙系列）难以保持一致性，观众开心资方难过，资本果然是不顾死活的。从拍摄素材来看，前期中期都很棒，为了发行而改道另行实在不是明智的行为。创作者与资本的博弈，在国内与国外均有不同烈度的斗争与抗衡呀。当然了，奇观的主题需要巨量的投入与明星资源堆叠，资方强势的局面之下，有趣的、听话的、有能力的走狗式导演与crew才是最受欢迎的，这一点可以从老马丁炮轰漫威的一系列事件中看出来，而卡梅隆这个牛逼的漏网之鱼却一边慢腾腾地磨洋工一边难望后来者。
（3.5/5）视听盛宴，镜头平行摇出画卷，惊艳的实验之作。耳目一新但内核和手法回归传统，大量指涉旧媒体（史诗，章回体和戏剧），节奏是反叙事，反诗的。召唤出一个默片时代的幽灵（梅里埃，德国表现主义的人工布景，身体喜剧）。一个愚人所讲的故事，充满着喧哗与躁动，没有意义，最终诉诸说书似的历史虚无主义的滚滚大江中。
4.5 今年慕尼黑电影节第一部。看之前没看简介连是部中国电影都不知道，惊喜连连，画面故事音乐都太新奇了，很有风格。不过并不知道老外能不能follow…
手绘背景与手工道具，以川剧团演员为故事线，串联起从二、三十年代到文革后期的长篇历史画卷。极其写意的抗战，在牛头马面拉人过程中描述国共斗争，延续从《痴》延续的美学风格。鸡脚神，驼儿，太子菩萨，牛头马面等意向化的人物，增加了很多趣味性和解读性。 看字幕的时候，演员和工作人员是同一批人，不由得让我泪目，感谢自己和朋友们曾经参与了制作，大家都太不容易了！
《扎克施耐德版正义联盟》比17版的正义联盟好看太惹了！！！！剧情和人物背景丰富了不止一点点！多了好几个角色，几乎是一部全新电影了。虽然四个小时片长给姐看累了，但是全程无尿点好多场景都看嗨了～～～
先说不好，四个小时还是太长了，中间差不多塞了一部钢骨solo，实在疲软。剧情的取舍也自然在这种长度里失去了其必要性，常有尾大难掉之感。
能在影院看到这样的华语片是一种巨大的幸福。 #SGIFF
他们枯燥乏味，是生存在新教伦理的理想人物，除了亲情爱情、父子情、姐妹情、崇拜之情的基本种类以外，情感分寸没有把握好，刻板僵化，只成为身份认证和抓手，而全片更多情绪情感的细节完全不在场，许多对话堪称稚嫩和淤塞。
有的看就满足了。不过正联里面明明应该拍老爷和大超主CP才对，不要坏规矩诶：）
中國有才華的演員導演不少 只是他们缺少这样的机会发出自己的声音 缺少机会表达内心的想法 很高兴香港和法国的资本给了一次机会 他们给出的这个回答很有力 加油！的确出色！
这部片子的现世，已经不是一部电影的诞生了，这意味着民意在文化导向中的胜利，意味着资本对于创作者的屈服(虽然在他们的视角是我出钱给你导演补作业，所以你没有工资)，虽然这些决定和疫情导致的院线溃败，转战网络点播不无关系，但这个结果相信让各方面的人都能满意释怀了，特别点名感谢在中间斡旋的诺兰，电影人的信仰与力量~
可以一直看下去，巴适得很，跟着川人苦中作乐
啥玩意儿4小时全靠慢动作拖，剧情不还是那一坨粑粑吗，吹啥史诗作，无语子
第一部和脑腻在家里看完的电影，没想到居然是这部，而且还是四个小时超爽版，一边在给脑腻科普，一边享受惬意的周末时光可能是人生最美好的事情了，总之扎导剪辑版确实很丰满，零基础入门的脑腻也可以如此津津有味。
亚马逊那场戏不错的，其他优缺点都比较明显，内容丰富但故事单薄，仍然是超级英雄电影一贯的小儿科套路。
像看了一部制作华丽的短篇连续剧。各方势力角逐加上粉丝不停向资本呐喊，终使导剪版得以成功问世应对各种质疑。大体框架别无二致，不过细节上做了些许修改。补足人物心理成长曲线，优化叙事、剪辑、转场的流畅度，营造调性统一的暗黑风与磅礴史诗感。没有任何人比创作者更懂得如何展示自己的作品，至于好坏与否都是后话。资本逐利损害作品肌理的经典案例。
这部片子已经不单单是一部电影。更像是一趟等待了四年的朝圣之旅。虽然更像是一个给可能再也不会开拍的正连2、3的超长预告片。片子本身除了长没啥大毛病，但剧情没有什么关键的修改...还是有点期望落空的感觉的。另外，建议与钢铁之躯、正义黎明一起食用，这才是野心、才是DC... ...
#thesnydercut# 三年断断续续的参与导剪运动，现在是时候move on啦
想起《人·鬼·情》。有不少那种至死不会忘记的神笔段落。中国人究竟有多苦，得将历史一遍一遍重述。
绝对五星，名副其实的华语年度最佳！荒诞的艺术，光怪陆离的社会变迁，《霸王别姬》的隔空对唱，模糊舞台和荧幕的扑面而来的丁达尔效应，极具个人色彩和地方特色的空灵的戏梦版的表达，文革时期向右野蛮生长的水泥砖墙，屎里找蛆的桥段。细节和记忆点很多，非常大胆，导演也极具野心。在釜山电影节看的，179分钟，中途走了几个韩国人，亮灯后也有几个韩国人昏睡在座位上，只有我和个位数的同胞在诺大的影厅里鼓掌到人潮散去
