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.
锁定在一个空间的小成本电影，非常有意思，永远想不到下一秒会发生什么。编剧真的很巧妙，一环扣一环，随着人物一个又一个出现，前面留的埋伏，后面都给有解答，而且是通过不同人物的视角来解谜。开头是真的有点恐怖，死人一下子放大的时候，有尖叫出来，后来就轻松很多。居然是新人导演的处女作，环境格调、色彩的处理都蛮有想法，剪辑也不错，已经开始期待下一部作品了！
怎么都在说疯狂的石头？这明明就是学的《玩命记忆》。同样是“密室剧本杀”影片，跟隔壁《扬名立万》的命运简直天壤之别，虽然两者的推理反转都比较尬，但还是能看到国产导演叙事能力在慢慢进步。

［6.5］几次反转，不过中间基本上清晰了整体走向，中规中矩吧这部
2.0 / 几乎每一帧都看出了“我想与众不同我想技惊四座”的野心，就是真的很无趣。里面的黑色幽默也很无趣。一些青年导演真的不必“为了做点什么而做点什么”。
而在一个已经定型了的、并且极度受限的创作圈内，出现了一部创新之作时。我们却对其给予了巨大的艺术批评。
2.0 / 几乎每一帧都看出了“我想与众不同我想技惊四座”的野心，就是真的很无趣。里面的黑色幽默也很无趣。一些青年导演真的不必“为了做点什么而做点什么”。
这种玩非线性叙事的国产悬疑喜剧，这两年处女作可真不少。
这种片子在类型开头就必须有“巧合”要设置的妙，马明亮和人贩子的强行亲戚关系，就是另一大拙劣点，没有铺设的巧合，编剧为了故事继续只能强开“金手指”。最后一把火的意外，明显是故事编不下去，必须剧情杀三个，不然外卖员不会主动暴露。
反转一路接一路，编剧太厉害了，偶尔的笑料让人忍不住，力赞！胡明的表演太精彩了，反而是让我印象最深刻的角色
白瓷关公像碎了一地，在闭环的房间只有心存善念活到了最后。没有残障就算是半成品，一个月的加工得让多少不速来客在世上横行。推出冻成冰块的百万现金，在大屏幕上直播，躲得过易燃制冷液的爆炸，躲不过天道有轮回。
还挺有趣的，一个小房间发生的不断反转的故事。节奏也不错，悬疑部分卡点卡的也好，演技也都在线，结构方面或许有需要打磨的地方，结尾没那么仓促会好很多。三星半。
还可以哦 有bug但是有些地方反转的还是蛮意外的 顺便问一下 推冰块是因为啥？
3.5。如果这故事顺序讲就没太大意思了，这样讲就还挺不错~最大问题可能是有点跟不上时代。残疾小孩乞讨这个，感觉是好多年前的事，如今时代变了，手机支付时代，残疾小孩乞讨感觉没有了……要不把年代提前，送外卖的改成送快递~
很好看哎～剧情相当不错，在一个封闭环境的舞台里做反转，深得我心，当然它也不是全然的本格推理，随着新线索的出现，会不断地加入新剧情，然后做推进，范伟现在越来越会挑剧本了，就是没想到那么多年过去还是喜欢窦骁这一款的，他真的好帅，就是他那口大白牙，怎么都不像是外卖小哥
认识的人写的本子，被邀请去看了包场，有一些曲折发生，倒也无伤大雅。说实话，如果不是被喊去，应该不会主动去看这部，不过看下来觉得真的还不错，可惜窦骁这个人物没立柱。
非常流畅舒服的一次观影体验！多线重复性叙事，剧本杀的故事结构，很难想象是一部处女座；范伟的表演太出色了，张颂文虽然戏份不多，但他一站在那儿角色就立住了。摄影、剪辑、剧本、台词、灯光属于范文作品，真的可以拿出来给新导演们学习
非常合格的类型片，最大的优点就是最后剧情没有失控闪崩。
代入感很漂移，无聊到完全不care发生了什么，一帮孩子出来就不想看了。
电影本身作为悬疑片有点一般。
