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.
黑人傲慢偏见，白人保守退却
这个片子算是挤进奥斯卡的片子里比较离谱的，我看了一圈没看懂Richard哪里牛逼了，感觉成功全靠大小威天资过人，黑人照这么个方法鸡娃估计成功一次背后会有999个家庭在捡垃圾，反而是母亲的角色很慈爱，堪称伟大女性；那天不知道在哪里看的很有意思，说黑人（成功）靠奋斗，白人靠偏执，当黑人开始偏执，白人开始奋斗（Hillbilly Elegy）观众就不容易relate了；感觉是CODA请的陪衬
比赛确实很激动人心，但是爹的形象还是让人恶心
发了福的威尔斯密斯有种说不出来的奇怪。电影还是很不错的~
是在这个合适的年纪对史皇来说也合适的电影，值得一个最佳男主的提名，我还是觉得当幸福来敲门没拿奥斯卡是真的遗憾。
#8999. 2022柏林评审团大奖。洪常秀柏林获奖三连。7分。这部齁得我这个洪吹都有点看不下去了……招大概都是前面用过的，聊得东西也有点浅。而且一部电影非得结合八卦看，不然理解不了剧情，是不是就有点太过了自我沉溺了……不过新东西还是有，比如洪常秀的片很少这么火气大；以及用换影像材质破次元壁（洪常秀亲自声音出场），用彩色破黑白，那个时刻的情感浓度很强也非常有效，包括结尾电影院这个几重套娃处理（金珉禧扮演的角色看自己出演的电影）和出字幕的方式其实算是《剧场前》和《独自在夜晚的海边》的一次有效升级。
自己看过几年球，大小黑统治了女网近二十年，尽管不算粉，但看着就是很舒适亲切。传记片的剧情没什么可说的，威尔史密斯的表演也很有魅力，但作为一部竞技电影，几个蜻蜓点水、点到为止的运动场面调度实在是看得很不过瘾。
千篇一律的励志片，无感。
看得太累了，两个半小时的老套流水账。最精彩的是片尾纪录片片段和碧昂丝歌声的串剪。运动不运动，家庭不家庭，种族不种族，女权不女权。镜头也平淡。史皇的发挥，好但不优秀。只是这题材太适合冲奥罢了。
电影工业代表性的产品，故事张弛有度，人物平衡情绪丰满，观众被带着从头走到尾，该哭的时候哭，该笑的时候笑
难以评价的父亲，毕竟天赋才是更多的决定了一个运动员的上限，如果不是两个女儿恰好有这样的天赋，她们的生活又该有多凄惨？更不用说私生活一塌糊涂，让人敬佩，又难以喜欢
是一部看完后会鼻子很难受的电影，上一部是波西米亚狂想曲。
奥斯卡最佳影片提名，大威小威的励志成长故事，很好看的电影，威尔史密斯表演很出色，为了冲击奥斯卡真是拼了，但似乎有点过头。
6/10。乍一看没什么大问题，制作水平也在线，但把一部体育、传记片拍得这么无趣也是没谁了，蕴含的黑人、女性议题更是有些肤浅。
本来是要打发时间随便看看的 被这个信念坚定到近乎偏执的父亲角色带进去了
Will很适合这类励志角色，演得很好。但题材很主流，或者说情节太主流，无法吸引我看下去。35分钟，弃剧。
近三年的洪常秀确实拐到另一个层次上去了：一人身兼多职（音乐、摄影、剪辑），极小的摄制团队，乃至让金敏喜也参与幕后工作。不知道是不是这种更加个人化的作者印记，才让柏林连续三年对他予以褒奖，但是这样的方向多少让我有些无所适从，尤其在这部片子失去结构的加持以后——动辄十几分钟不动的长镜头，窗外的过曝显出摄影的廉价，演员在景框里进行着某种不尴不尬的对话——片刻的微妙已不足以抵消全片的潦草。在这部冠以电影之名的电影中，更多充斥着导演借角色之口义正严辞的申辩：敏喜有权利选择自己的人生，不参演商业大制作不意味着“浪费”；一个故事并不一定需要情节，与真实生活的互文亦可使之焕发光彩。当电影开始放映，色彩显现，女演员却不再表演，想起《出租车》里的一句台词，“这朵花送给热爱电影的人们”。衷心祝福你们。
我更喜欢二女儿，她更多的是凭借自己的主动去发光。
看过不少欧美国家的体育励志方面电影，这是我看的最烂的一个。这个主角不讨喜，他给孩子设定计划就好像要把无限可能的人订成他想要的人一样，孩子不是家长的私人订制芭比！还好最后他成功了否则他就是个彻头彻尾的自大狂加无赖，边看我越觉得这父亲有点我国“优秀”母亲的架势，这位“优秀”的老太太洋洋洒洒地描述着控制孩子是多么的有必要然后孩子就能像她设定的一样一路高歌猛进，成功后她趁机写了本叫《虎妈战歌》的烂书，结果被国人家长奉为育儿圣经。回到电影，优点也有威尔的演技依然不赖，其他配角也可圈可点，尤其是梅西教练他的演技自然纯熟，没了。剧情极其拉胯这就是美国有色人种版的《网球王子》，一路未尝败绩最后惜败俄罗斯选手，而且还给自己的失败找借口。真…的恶心！看这还不如去看《点球成金》、《卡特教练》、《愤怒的公牛》呢。
三星半，同一个题目，更想去看爸爸的单人纪录片。不是演员表演问题，大概在剧本重心设计上。
