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.
上半段实在是breath taking，每一帧都扎在心里；下半段不得不说有点崩坏，与上半段所展现的野心不符，可惜啊可惜（于是导致我一边观影一边自行脑补两女主上演人鬼情未了，虽阴阳两隔但产生了一段彼此爱怜、催人泪下的旷世奇恋）（这个本的话我可以打一万分）（不如我来写剧本？）
太难看了，想不到埃德加赖特也拍浪费资源的电影，这部电影最大的优点，也是最大的浪费，是正确选择了两个好女主
-，真的是不太能指望男导演能拍好女性困局，女人最大的噩梦和女性互助就是这样么？如果说麦肯齐最后被“打脸”还算写得有新意的话，安泰乔这个角色也过于陈旧了。母女线也是完全没写好，就开头结尾硬呼应。
碰到电影里吐槽London的地方观众都好兴奋hhhh
电影前半段很精彩，对60年代old fashioned的音乐、服装精彩的生活很带感。
这个故事告诉我们，有了幻觉或者产生幻象，一定要去医院看精神科，不要拖/ATJ真的好美
只有前半段值得称赞，Edgar最让人失望一次。
女主累死我烦死。所有人都喜欢站在马路中间聊天。
看评论很多人不满意。我倒是更尊重埃德加赖特了。女性的控诉在大家看来如此的“老套 无聊 无趣”不知道还以为我们已经活在了理想世界。多看看新闻吧朋友们。
本片的水准随着剧情的开展分崩离析、一落千丈，尤其结尾的画蛇添足更是将本片格局拉低了几个档次，幸而极为显著的优点来救场〈成功的选角、极致的试听、以及前半段的创意〉，加一星。
前面有点吓人，揭露真相之后越看越搞笑，房东变来变去变得太快，妈妈和老警察的存在意义不大，政治正确得很刻意，总体挺爽的。
一切皆为尘埃的六十年代迷乱神游梦。梦、现实与精神不可分离的 “有” 与 “空” 的某种微妙关系。托马辛表演有些用力过猛啊，黑人小演员和唐·钱德尔没有血缘关系？
东拼西凑但又处处正确，唯一有意思但又被放弃的地方，在于任何一个街口任何一个房间都死过人的伦敦，每一寸墙壁都渗透了低回或高昂的情绪。就这，被结尾三套破裙子和外婆妈妈都为你骄傲冲散了。
竟然很concrete，不是我想象中迷幻的东西。立意快像竹子一样削人脸上了，男性依然可能看不懂。但我个人其实不太prefer这么做，就是做成现实中的受害者也是devil的处理。豆瓣短评中表示“那个时代（的风格的美术）那么美你怎么拍这个好浪费”的观众，跟复读“一下雪北京就变成北平”的网友，虽然或许欣赏的文艺作品不一样，本质是同一型的冷石头。
唯一顶住了的只有埃德加赖特的音乐品味了
反转大可不必，而且还把前面的剧情搞得很矛盾。多一星给配乐和我嗑到了
后段连环反转十分漂亮，确实被前期的暗示骗到了，后边直接180度大反转，精彩！而且反转合理，前边也都有细节伏笔。缺点是前半段代入感有点差，节奏也有点拖。
女性视角的黑暗童话，表面的美好掩藏不住欲望的罪恶……
居然把我看哭了 但这不是我给出四星的原因 留名恐怖电影史只需要一两个经典的镜头 这部做到了
