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.
从看戏的变成了唱戏的，从旁观的变成了参与的，从二流戏子变成了下三流的怪物。偷鸡不成蚀把米，你欲情，我故纵。瞒天下所有人之心，藏不住低俗下烂的把戏。穿梭于世界上如行尸走肉，只为可怜的一点点爱，一点点名，一点点利。陀螺美学一次大行为爆炸，把戏与心理斗法过程好好看。玉兔cp只是个幌子，不过全方位被库珀帅到惨绝人寰，快来🌿我。
我喜欢 geek生成记 不是美恐畸形秀 是属于陀螺的freak show华丽演出 美术和布景都很美 周旋在女性中间 最后也栽了跟头 结尾的转折虽然突然但也惊艳
wonder how the meek was made?
影像考究且精致，但解构层面的表达不尽如人意。剥离了原版的内核，硬生生的灌注了吉尔莫德尔托罗的恶趣味作者风格。
故事背景,还有细节都很有意思. 一点点魔幻的感觉. 只是故事讲的稍微匆忙了点. 再铺垫的扎实点,估计会很不错.
有点好猜，逊于期待，后面我都开始两倍速了。另建议改成三集迷你电视剧。
期待过高以至于有点失望，不过这顶级的服化道倒是很棒
（p.s. 前半和后半割裂到像两部电影）
原以为就一些成功好莱坞片的成熟杂糅 实际上比又臭又长稍微多点精彩之处
大魔王和小白兔在《卡罗尔》之后的再度合作，这部到最后倒有点了不起的盖茨比那味了，虚假刻意的纸醉金迷。
大魔王还是一如既往的吸引人，但故事情节是咋回事？？
中间确实有点冗长，但还是喜欢最后结构上的一个闭环
不難看，但可能剪成幾集電視劇放上netflix效果更好
2个半小时。。。好长。减一星。。
讲了一个贪婪和欺骗的故事。和蜘蛛侠一样2个半小时，但是观影途中不停地觉得长，同样时长的古奇，豆瓣短评感叹太长的却不多(虽然我也同样觉得太长了)，想必是片子节奏出了问题。令人毛骨悚然的结尾，加上没开暖气的amc10，真是令人直冒冷汗，感到恐怖（为坐地铁跑那么远过去4:30-8:20感到不值）。
我怎么感觉这要是在中国，这老板真是无敌的好老板，这些员工才全是刁民，呵呵
让赵本山来演吧，忽悠，接着忽悠。
充满震慑力的主线也好，丛生而相互关联的支线也好，都非常适合陀螺按自己的风格发挥。
库珀真的长得不太聪明，但显然能够很有戏的凯特和鲁妮又少了很多戏，于是我不明白为什么要花两个半小时看这个傻大个早已注定的自找倒霉命运游戏
看了演职员表才知道是陀螺的作品www大魔王演的真的是好，前半段确实拖的有点长了，但是单就是黑色电影来讲，150分是有的，甚至比《布鲁克林迷案》还要好
