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.
丈夫的那句“lucy,i'm home!”，让这个女强人出现了迟疑以及生平第一次“忘词”，真的是忘词吗，应该并不。
索金重回《社交网络》级别的编剧水平，可惜导演功力还是有限，仍差一口气。剧本太好了，太好了。妮可与哈维尔都贡献了生涯前三级别的表演，真棒啊！
三星半。妮可好多镜头都很像格伦克洛斯，面孔可以通过各种手段修复和保持，但是她的嗓音出卖了她，已经不如巅峰期了，但她仍然具有优势，围读会一场戏，她高挑的身材，手插在裤袋里挺立，只一个pose就把整场戏完成的相当漂亮。她在演想象拍摄的戏份也演得很好，专注专业令人信服，一般演员演一个过渡，一个状态，她有一种明确的东西在那个表情里，妮可确实是静态表演的高手，那场坐在办公室中望着海报等待的眼神也特别好。高光时刻是最后，丈夫在戏中戏里说lucy,I'm home，她停顿，你不知道她是否真的忘词，但是妮可通过这段戏中戏的等待回响，头定住，眼神扑闪，在情境喜剧里注入了奥斯卡级别的表演。
【6.5】平庸得品不出什么来，但依然称不上烂片。干干巴巴，勾不起观众兴趣，很容易看一个小时就溜号，就只能说是“讲完了一个故事”，0.5分给妮子。
“嘴上谈的是主义，心里想的是生意”，男女性别、婚姻家庭、事业危机、万尼亚舅舅……上到冷战意识形态之争，下到狗血家庭抓马，中间还有一条鸡零狗碎的荧屏剥削史，情节丰富到令人发指，艾伦·索金杂耍式的编剧整合，终于有一次完美调和了话痨和感情留白。结果连个奥斯卡原创编剧提名都不配吗？奥斯卡，how dare you！
Sorkin了不起 Nicole Kidman is amazing
我打包票那些在评论区给了三星以下（包含三星）的人，都是在开头纷繁登场的人物、喋喋不休的台词和机关枪般的语速中选择了放弃观影或者2倍速。而当你真正静下心来，一字一句的把它看完，你就会感叹艾伦索金如此的才华、Inco传神的表演和整片几近完美的电影结构。最后的那一幕的处理几乎可以封神：当德西的电话那头接通了胡佛，当露西拿出第二张手帕，当第一版本的镜头在她逐渐凝固的表情中定格且永不再来，你便会明白索金派电影艺术表达方式的精细与智慧。年度最佳电影候选，Inco和Jav最佳候选，最佳原创剧本候选，颁奖季等着瞧。
故事涉及很多时代背景下的大话题——女性、好莱坞行业规则、政治、种族——但整体格局死死地被制片厂那十几平方米的拍摄置景框死了；故事闪回没有帮助增色，反而感觉混乱。即便男女主给出的出色表演（尤其是最后一场戏），但电影整体还是蛮失望的。
索金的编剧技巧无须质疑，这次突破在于所有闪回桥段不标时间线，观众自己脑补。
太长了就是说，如数家珍般地讲述了拍摄《我爱露西》台前幕后的一大堆琐事，一些奥斯卡经典话题（假）：女性觉醒、政治～共产党和麦卡锡主义等等。真正的话题只有两个：工作和家庭的一地鸡毛。故事的最后，男主成功挽救了女主的事业～并且完美推动了表演的成功，然而最后的最后却以女主发现了男主出轨告终。于是婚姻本身成为了利益和生意的一部分，“Let's do the show.”
感觉如果对人物本身没有太多了解的话，这部电影说实话看起来会比较费劲，不过演员都贡献了很棒的表演
对这部久负盛名的电视剧早就有所耳闻，但本片的角度和剧情还是无法吸引我，看完有种不知道自己看了个啥的感觉
传记，不熟悉原型，我仔细欣赏了40分钟和结局，主要看看奥斯卡提名的两位主演和一位男配。主演都很娴熟，妮可化妆后我只认识她的眼神，两人初次见面那天的戏很有趣，一夜风流后妮可当面打电话给未婚夫说分手。JK西蒙斯戏份太少。
拍的太无聊了，编导大人还是去拍政治题材的合适。
用现在话说，就是美强惨的故事。基本是一年一度喜剧大赛后台排练实录差不多。喜剧好难啊
太混乱的叙事，只剩下最后摊牌和演出成了亮点。
演员演的都很好，但这个形式有点拖垮。Nicole戏中戏里的鸭子音是根据原型来的吗？还是特定年代的演戏样本，可太难受了
7，美国版兰心大剧院？妮可基德曼看起来是真的老了。
当他们在讨论Lucy the character时，其实也同时在讨论Lucy the person。这种隐晦的手法使角色真正的情感一直涌流在冰面之下，直到那块手帕出现——Lucy凌晨两点在放映室承认她为自己搭起城堡，created a home——我们才第一次直面她的困境与挣扎。
传记片在索金手下就还是传记片，其实可以用喜剧的元素突破呀，亦或是事件带人物，因为毕竟传记本身人物就很鲜明且令人熟悉。女主演的好卖力……
