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.
剧情没有什么悬念，给方中信一颗星，还是那么有型。
有些不像电影，更像电视剧的sp。TVB有个和这个类似的电视剧，不知道有什么关系?
最后，智叔，我想您了。
挺一般的 香港电影确实不行了20211103
而且再感慨一句，香港的演艺圈断层真的很厉害，全靠老戏骨在撑。
属实一般。如果死者是个普通家庭的孩子就彻底犯案无望了。正义还是没有伸张，或者说根本没法伸张，只是钻了法律的空子而已。
自首的太生硬了，不过可能却很真实。剧本整体比较平。
即便是一个阳光普照的社会，也总有阴影，也总得吃饭，既然公义不能当饭吃，那就吃饱饭再行动了，雷律师在这一点上想的清清楚楚明明白白
不要胡乱玩一夜情
随着香港法制基础的加速被毁，以后这种法律撒手、权位斗法的故事，会不断上演。
只有有钱人才能对抗有钱人，穷人，看什么电影，挣钱去aq
首先观影过程中，有两处感觉断层的厉害，跳跃性很强，不是很合理。故事是个简单的故事，逻辑性也正常，没有出彩的地方。最后方中信的一段独白还有点说法，其他就没啥了。人物方面，表演以及人物设定都不够丰满，尤其小助理演的有些尴尬，容易出戏。
这不是电影，这就是硬塞啊，老师们，你们都不睁睁眼吗？
熟悉的港片模式与风格，可惜有硬伤呀，明显置警方于不顾呀20211010
这不是电影，这就是硬塞啊，老师们，你们都不睁睁眼吗？
至少找个不是法盲的编剧来写法律戏吧，这庭审基本可以算是看过的法庭戏里面最傻逼的，一板一眼却感觉比白面包青天里的还搞笑
監獄裡拿牙刷捅人那一段看著好揪心。。結局是好的。。現實中也會這樣嗎？
故事平庸，浪费了一群上了年纪的好演员，年轻的那些不太行，夸不动。
太爱智叔了，除了半颗星给曾江，其他的都给智叔
算系了解咗我一個情意結，由選戰到律政強人，一直認為未完結一直自認為會有續，只是換一個平台或者故仔，可惜尼部電影系終結了，太可惜了 #2021#智叔 R.I.P 終於上映，算喇，系時代問題，respect 智叔&方中信
