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.
情节so so，好多地方不可深究，但Mark Rylance一个人撑起一整部电影，好演员还是让人看得过瘾
看完后查了才知道居然是北野武的传记片，一开始出场的人如此像北野武我还很奇怪呢，原来是有本人参与，难怪故事的细节上如此丰富。
总的来说，可以看，但不值得吹。
越美好的过去，回味起来反而越心酸。对过去的怀念，遗憾，师傅的照顾与教导，都会被时间裹挟着冲淡。
我认得这老头：他一忽儿多头，一忽儿空头；前些年他曾是“圆梦巨人”、“头号玩家”，一转头，就成了带着一帮权贵坐飞船逃跑的科技巨头；去年他“不要抬头”，今年他“誓不低头”，他可真会换马甲。
不得不说 确实厉害 全程在一个房间里面完成 参与的人不过10个 男主真是演技炸裂...又是一部国内无法过审的片子....
也有不太严谨的地方，但现在还愿意尝试这种风格，还能完成得这么好的片子，必须五星致敬。同类可看《夺魂索》《足迹》《死亡计中计》《暂无出口》《在糟糕的日子里》
圈套設計很巧妙，應對意外很聰明，像舞臺劇。
剧本非常小巧精致，在单一场景下靠一个核心道具磁带把故事出场人物串联完全，依靠大量对白把故事推进的引人入胜，叙事节奏掌握的非常好，内奸和作局者情节的反转也非常让人意外，但前面铺垫过程已经在不断暗示，足见编剧考虑的周到，男主演技更是加分，这个角色在面临生命危险下的沉着，镇定，睿智是电影里的点睛之笔。（8/10）
最后北野武回到浅草法兰西座以前的一幕幕涌回来，我快要哭了。柳乐优弥演得真的太棒了！
马克里朗斯真是老戏骨啊，纯用眼神就表达了一切。
精巧的单场景悬疑故事，并不烧脑，却因为角色需要在各个势力间周旋而颇为有趣，算是一个不错的小品之作。
一切全靠“命”与“概率”
拍得比较精致、巧妙的低成本犯罪片，主要考验编剧的技巧和主演的把控能力。故事在单一空间展开，基本是一种话剧形式，摄影虽然用心，但运镜单一，主要是中近景切换。男主的表演很稳，女主戏不多，但有味道，似曾相识。
merry chrismas
3.5 马克叔和丰叔（Yutaka Mizutani）有同一种异父异母双生儿般的优雅气质。对舞台感过重的电影总谈不上过分喜爱。
我能把正的忽悠斜了，能把蔫的忽悠谑了，能把尖人忽悠嗫了，能把俩帮派过的挺好，我给他忽悠灭团了。
不要讨好观众，谐星应该明白自己的水准在哪里。 真挚的师徒情。
每一个成功人士都不是偶然的，北野武的老师真是好老师，不仅传授的技能，而且教会了人生。从另一个侧面看北野武也是幸运的，青年时代居然能遇上那么好的人生导师。本来想小剧场当演员只是一个谋生手段，结果一步一步成为漫才大师，到后来走上人生巅峰。话说铃木保奈美依旧那么美。本片算是北野武青年时代的传记吧。
大泉洋的师傅一角演得真挚动人，越到后面越发深厚。
