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.
PTA自《血色将至》以后最小，最轻盈也是最私人的一部作品。PTA重回圣费尔南多谷，带着观众一起沐浴在加州无与伦比的阳光，棕榈树和70年代流行文化之中。PTA收起了早期的锋芒，也摆脱了后来的滞重，贡献了特别特别令人愉悦的观影体验（大赞女主！）。的确某种程度上讲这是一种自我致敬和重复，但这结合上那个“口音梗”，是不是也是PTA在用自己的方式，对现在身份政治横行的好莱坞潮流说不呢？
PTA的爱情狂奔。我的温冯道格玛年下爱大代餐。✨
我们有所保留，我们付出一切；我们心猿意马，我们两情相悦；我们彼此折磨，我们拯救对方；我们针锋相对，我们同仇敌忾。我有好多好多理由不喜欢你，我喜欢你。
人人青春年代的慌乱懵懂跨越时空大不相同却永远relatable（我会到老还会喜欢coming of age题材吗？）至于显得种族歧视的设定个人觉得是在还原70年代真实的状况吧，观众的笑就和snl的种族玩笑引人发笑一样，总不能全zzzq？
非专业人士，但我认识的“喜剧片”从来就不是这样的，我觉得它也不该是这样的。欣喜而又无奈的是，这部电影的粗俗笑话没我之前看过的国产喜剧片那么密集了，起码它做到了节制，这或许也是一种进步？记不住多少次把开心麻花拉进黑名单了，然而每年都要和家人一道去遭受煎熬。
pta的爱情神话，是描摹时代的爱情神话，最后归结到爱情片开端就应该出现的confess，仿佛七十年代的种种（石油危机、好莱坞往事、各种政治事件）只是他们俩爱情的点缀似的。
青春洋溢 70’s的迷幻和疯狂 节奏 摄影 原声都太棒了！
男女主都丑，成日疯疯癫癫做着毫无意义的事情，就是看不出与爱何干。年代感营造的还不错，最后一对gay的撕B抢走了全片的高光。
3.5；宛如青春版的《私恋失调》，同样是游弋迷茫中的寻找，同样是“古怪”投射于对方心田呈现的成长史，但处理得更闲散——最后当你几乎确信一切都不会再有故事发生时，情感的激流才汇聚到彼此终于站到同一起跑线的位置；在情感的平衡中永远此消彼长，永远无法用得到或失去去精确计量，正如他们善用冷言伤害对方，心理防御的机制甚至一度让他们错失，这种曲折是必然的，拉锯是说服自己和对方的过程。
3.5 私人式的表达成长和情感历程的作品。个人感觉不如《私恋失调》。系统补了一下pta后不得不感叹他真是玩转镜头的高手。
3.5星，故事食之无味，但其中各种怪梗又让它弃之可惜。魔改后的霍尔登跟磕多了一样背诵自己电影里的台词；跟76版《星诞》男主造型惊人相似的芭芭拉男友兼经纪人，而他的扮演者布莱德利库珀自导自演了另一版《星诞》；最后的定情地点是一家放着live and let die的影院。真的都好怪啊！！！
PTA在不羁夜后又玩了回情怀，感觉是攒了一波历史片段，用爱情故事串了一下。但设定又没那么简单，两人在新事物和权威经典间反复；Alana无法融入男性权威，同时又觉得Gary几人终归是玩乐，一边找不到自我，一边又想自我证明；二人即互相吸引，又互相竞争（比拼迎合、又比拼反叛），Alana那句 我比你酷 幼稚到让人笑出声。成长路上在新旧圈层不停地mark自己，找定位，是本片的基础核心，深层核心大概是时代映射吧；年轻人用自己的方法迎合、对抗这个世界，他们抓不住好莱坞的摩托车但是可以山路倒卡车，Alana经常不知如何应付自己的反抗心态，或许，一路狂奔，就是答案；充斥着奔跑的本片与GE结局，我觉得挺好
另外说本片政治不正确的可以去死了，借用其他网友评论，“对放大真实的70mm，还原LA的荒唐叙事不满的，就是会在莎翁剧作里加黑人主角的”
如果保持前半部分的水准可以给五星，看的最舒服的一部PTA，没有那些人性的扭曲面，单纯的当男孩爱上女孩，一起疯狂一起犯错相互寻找彼此，是如此温馨可爱，部分段落让我找回了初恋时的悸动与感伤，原来PTA也可以像林克莱特或韦斯安德森般青春洋溢。
电影是不错，喜剧效果很好，虽然题材上不太新鲜。而且在各个行当里都有一大群怀揣梦想坚持奋斗但注定无果的食草动物，并不是只有龙套成不了名才悲催。我觉得此类题材应该往更豁达的层面走走，尹天仇并没有一定要当大明星，你喜欢电影，喜欢表演，热爱本身就是幸福。没必要太卖惨，成功这种事，和奋斗并不一定强关联。当然，奋斗，也是热爱的一种。所以奋斗本身是幸福。命运辜负不辜负，那是命运的事。你辜负不辜负，是你的事。所以，假若你不想辜负天赋，就稍微努努力，努力的过程是很享受的。至于结果，也未必重要，未成功，比成功更耐人寻味，值得怀想。再说，万一成功了呢。比如40几岁的魏翔，对人生和戏剧都通透了，终于一战封神。魏翔真的是出乎意料地好演员。神经质，偏执人格，表情帝，形体还特别好，尤其是表演《雨中曲》那段舞蹈，很有意思。
虽然有些地方的确挺尬的
两个盖茨比，看完之后讨论为什么叫甘草披萨，我解读，甘草味道冲，爱的人很爱比如我有一个小学同学每天吃甘草片，不爱的人闻见就想吐，比如茴香酒，但是又因为在披萨上，披萨没人不爱，这个故事就是这种感觉
7.3/Cooper Hoffman和他爸简直一个身影。拍得挺暧昧，什么接班什么水床的，两人之间的欲拒还迎，但女方是跪舔的？不至于吧，毕竟是“好莱坞式结局”，又是一个导演对过去的怀旧。库柏演的坞母男友，怪不得那么狂…
2022-03-27 垂直镜头里，两人躺在水床上，身下仿佛是荧幕透出的光。
其实还是很纯爱的，每一次转折，看起来是互相讨厌其实是彼此吃醋，一个多姐妹家庭的胸无大志的二十几岁女人，想从无意义中脱离，男主倒是一个有眼界的看起来有点普信的男孩，其实这里说的是那些看起来成熟的男人，追求虚伪的名誉（老演员）、财富（土豪）和权力（竞选），远不如一个男人有少年热情去做一些看起来可笑但有用的事情——把内心纯粹用十几岁的人物具现化，男同和女主拥抱并说男人都是渣，唯有少年之心可取。
