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.
剧本设定还蛮有趣的，两男人车里换鞋那段最搞笑。尼古拉斯凯奇在多演点经典作品吧
尼古拉斯·凯奇（Nicolas Cage）络腮胡真难看，苍老了很多。很久没看他演的电影了。知名演员未必有钱，欠了一屁股债，看起来还光鲜亮丽。父女关系，前妻，一堆事，心累。一见如故的朋友，相见恨晚。
老子是个演员
凯奇用凯奇的故事拍（演）了一部很凯奇的电影。
3.5星，希望凯奇大叔借此事业大翻身，《国家宝藏3》抓紧安排上
最后最爱看的居然是一部英国电影，辱美了。。。
编剧和导演估计都是凯奇的死忠粉，故事马马虎虎及格分以上，但看完以后想看凯奇早期的片子了。
“有时候生活会阻拦你的爱情。”
挺有新意与心意的一部商业爆米花小片，很有尼古拉斯凯奇的个人情怀。
他是演技炸裂的凯奇，他也被称为烂片之王，他系出名门且才华横溢，他债墙高筑又神经兮兮，这是他以真实身份出演本人的一部非传记电影，若当作是粉丝致敬或爆米花爽片就大错特错，这是一个与千千万万陷入困境的中年一样不得不拼命的戏剧化破局故事。如果你期待为各种经典桥段致敬彩蛋欢呼或想看到巅峰凯奇满血回归，那必然会失望，我个人很喜欢，喜欢凯奇无奈无助又无畏无惧的演出。
No.2527 还挺好看的，但是结尾有点突兀，真真假假的有些混淆。
口水戏。虽然每多自黑，但还是太哆嗦。
Paddington 2 is incredible!
评论很多朋友说看过类似的创意电影！但是我刚好没有看过，觉得很好很有意思！
PS.帕丁顿熊也不错，大家都有品位！
很适合夏天和兄弟看 一部恶搞凯奇 恶搞好莱坞的喜剧小成本 不过心酸的是凯奇最后被好莱坞接受似乎很开心的样子，还是被招安了。最后和家人团圆也不太可能，因为nick现在是茕茕孑立。
略显浮夸，但确实挺可爱的，尤其是那些WTF moments（自己亲自己测试吻技什么鬼！），真亏他们想得出。
这部电影是六月初看的，非常缓解当时压抑的心情，看完得到了暂时的快乐。Pedro太帅了，因此多给了一颗星！！！
当纠结于尼古拉斯·凯奇的真人属性与演技名头是否副实时，才会明白这个片名叫这个的原因：一个天才巅峰不再，真的是非常痛苦的，哪怕曾经拥有，依然很难返回或达到另一个巅峰
分裂的自我算唯一有趣的点，让我去看了帕丁顿熊。
