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.
疫情之下的老人护理院，上演了21世纪的“飞越疯人院”。这里住满了被政府和医疗系统抛弃的耄耋老人，也有因早发阿尔茨海默而丧失工作能力的中年人，在死神的镰刀下一个一个被收割。弃老成为整个社会心照不宣的不可承受之罪，也成为一些人痛彻心扉、至今还在淌血的伤痕。这再一次提醒了我们，在国境线之外，新冠对人们究竟意味着什么。
关于新冠题材，其他任何宏大叙事和英雄主义都去他的吧。
《援助》拍的是小小护工的无助和控诉，而《中国医生》在拍大国医护的伟光正，也难怪会被cue。
少吃点！别把自己养那么大块头，等老了，人家都伺候不动。
这是一部以疫情为背景的飞越疯人院的故事片，情节处理细节，背景音乐和人物动态相得益彰，以小见大。女主帮男主，男主帮女主，共救患者，最后逃离医院，却被抓回。
那一句What if一旦落在自己身上
Couldn’t believe wear mask and keep social distance had become my daily routine.
中段那个26分钟的长镜头感染力太强了，精准地呈现了新冠之下小人物的至暗时刻，那种被整个社会背叛的无力与绝望，让人心如刀绞～但第三幕逃离疗养院的情节有些刻意且过火了，为了煽情而煽情，破坏了冷峻克制的旁观视角，也失去了现实感染力～
“28个人，去世了9个，又有12个感染了。”“隔离了12天，又被带回去了。”真的太难过了。每个人都有老去的那一天，可能也会糊涂。现在我们是怎样对待老人的，这是未来我们想要被对待的方式吗？
新冠袭来，之前简单的事情都变得异常困难，很真实展现了疫情初期养老院的窘境。
新冠下的护理机构，疫情初期的风口浪尖。为了感情线的发展，结尾稍微有点戏剧化了。
封闭，孤独，所以如此向往自由，covid 来的如此快，打得所有人都措手不及，让人不安的无处不在的病毒，仿佛随时就会感染，老年人病人的抵抗力更加不足，生命如此脆弱就这样流失，这才是真实的记录，而不是一味歌颂
有人在拍社会反思，有人在拍没有“我们”你们会怎样。新冠三年，有了《援助》和《无耻之徒》，非典20年，还什么都没有。
这是对新冠病毒正确的打开方式，简陋的医疗物资几乎靠自己命硬工作，根本没有人会来，只能等死，没有急救车，而这些人连成为一个数字的资格都没有，就这么被关起来按上钉子敲敲打打封印起来，仅仅3个月死了将近4w9，而且大多数来自更需要被看护的护理院，记得新冠在年前有个女孩，妈妈发烧送到急救中心，去世后直接被一辆车拖走，女孩追着载有母亲遗体的车追着奔跑厮喊拍打着车门，妈妈只是感冒了，不要带走我的妈妈，ZGYS在拍点什么，还没当时直播火神山和雷神山感人
和中国医生不同的角度去描述新冠初期给生活带来的冲击，这个至少正面讽刺了nhs，以小人物的视角展现了整个社会的巨大变迁#BTW英音真的好方言
上海解封了。Is it getting better or just stay the same?
电影多少有点被利用的感觉 在这部片子里面 用来发声 也算是电影的功能之一吧 只是过于直白了点。
成为护工本就不是一个容易的事情，年轻的女主奇异地真的很擅长，能理解那些难以沟通的情境。而家庭的问题，父母，也始终是烦恼的来源之一吧。新冠背景下，被护理的成人属于基本被选择性放弃的一群，护工面临的，孤立无援的场景，只能不要崩溃，边哭边继续做事。不得已利用了尚有较好能力的被看护者，也因此有了基于能力信任和愧疚和外界不当给药综合因素下的出逃。又一个像末路狂花一样的发展吧，没有末路狂花和国内的现状那么绝望和歇斯底里，但问题的性质是类似的。被选择性无视的一部分人，只能自己扛着，也许等来援兵，也许战死，如是而已。
早就受够了伟光正那一套，像援助这种少一点套路的多好
学业不优没人关爱的坏女孩，在养老院谋了个护工任职，新冠来袭，老人们同事们相继感染，政府救助力不能及，女孩绝境中奋力……写实作品拍出了张力，看着很舒服，节奏没有压迫，带入感极佳，两主演颠覆惯有银幕形象，毫不违和……英音腔好怪啊……到头来还是中国帮忙吧～
