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.
“金刚川”叙事+花样反转+剧本杀剧本=国产电影新路子？大可不必了整点实在的吧年轻的电影人们！
可圈可点 家庭和情感中除了妈妈以外 导演交代的并不好 但呼吁社会重视残障人士的寓意是好的 支持！
“你残废是天生的，没有人会怪你，那些人只会怪我”
比如前面完全没有贩卖儿童的伏笔、完全没有尤大成和张总交易的伏笔、完全没有阎正（张颂文）的同事的伏笔……而且这种现象比比皆是。
给四星主要是觉得豆瓣的分数有点低了，像这样的类型片在中国电影里不应该被支持吗？跟那些打了鸡血一样的电影比起来，这个简直不要太好。
好看又不好看。
一直向前跑，就不会迷路，可若是生存的坦途藏在弯道口，不迷路的机会成本由谁买单？
不过或许是我尚能触摸到奥运会的余温，也密切关注着正在进行的残奥会赛况，所以情绪时常被热血的比赛场面与残奥运动员的生存窘境反复拉扯，与其说是沉浸在电影里，不如说是渴望看到更多电影背后的真实。
“用力哭不如用力跑！”“只有跑步别人才会看得起你！”吴君如演技炉火纯青，把一位任劳任怨含辛茹苦忍辱负重的伟大妈妈刻画的催人泪下，入木三分！
几乎每十分钟一个反转，不过都是在补充新的剧情，而不是基于现有伏笔的解密，导致观看的时候少了些“原来如此”的快感。换句话说，电影之所以有些可看性，完全是因为这个故事是倒过来讲的。如果按时间顺序讲，就真的没什么可看的了。
“出世输，唔代表一世输。”
冲范伟老师看的。总体而言还是稍显牵强拼凑无聊了。
“你残疾是天生的没有人会怪你，但是他们会怪妈妈”
虽然有些矫揉造作，也有些生搬硬套，但就像小学生的作文，立意，文笔都不错。#20211123
勉强还成。但主创对网状叙事貌似有什么误会，只是靠不断切换视角、不断回溯、不断提供新信息是远远不够的。结构的组接一定要有“意料之外、情理之中”的惊喜感才可以。
不错的室内犯罪悬疑片，几路人马阴差阳错的聚集在一处，反转一个接着一个，引得我边看边紧张的思考前面的剧情，否则就对照不上了。
国产还算优秀的悬疑片，非常中国特色的黑色幽默，各种反转很有意思，警察为什么会被勒晕，管监控的就被椅子卡了这么久还没出来，医院里就那么容易拐走一个小女孩，范伟不愧影帝，撑起全场，没人有他这么猥琐了
身体残疾没有打败他，母爱激励他，虽然很辛苦，但他成功了！
2.5，观影过程很累，这种基本靠对话推进的故事更应该在视听或动作上想想办法，音乐倒是挺动感的，视觉节奏完全没起来，拍摄手法太匮乏。《惊世狂花》和《浅坟》永远是新手的学习圣经。
最喜欢半夜11点交易人上门那段，老李和马明亮唱双簧接头，助手掏出小本本核算成本，还有人倒在了工作岗位上。事后想想，人贩子老大做点正经生意肯定能成事儿。
