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.
其中能看出，马特达蒙是鲁莽武夫，亚当德莱弗是卑鄙小人，朱迪科默为了自己的清白和自尊不惜一死，她可以说是METOO运动的古代先锋。
不负片名，决斗戏确实拍得好，“罗生门”叙事的变体，不同视角依次讲述没有形成谎言漩涡，反而在逐渐填补逼近真相，暧昧性只存在于各自回避掉的情节和极其微小的细节。到第三幕揭露性的女性羞辱连珠炮一样甩出来，语气急转为正确且坚定的性别表达，精心构建的戏剧力场瞬间崩塌，猝不及防啊。

好基友 一辈子！| 大本真是太可了，可宽可窄。还有让非脸盲认不出来的演技！
同一事件的真相从当事者三人的角度各自讲了一遍，只有女主所代表的章节才是真的真相。可以说是罗生门式的叙事，从某种意义上讲也是金刚川式的。
一个男人的荣耀成了女人的窒息。三个视角剖析的完整故事，不同的镜头细节分化私心的种种表象。一句“若以情欲之眼看待女性，那么在心中就已犯下淫欲之罪”足以令人无可反驳
Matt Damon第一个part是有口音问题么？最后一个场景的意义是什么呢，有点含混。整体很棒
黑泽明的罗生门极尽人性之恶，不过好在导演仁慈，最后给了一丝雨停后的微光。雷德利·斯科特借用类似的叙事手法，从不同角色的视角讲述同一件故事，千人千面，揭露的正是不同讲述者的真正内心，男人求权、求色，女人只是被放在算盘上度量的物品，第三幕完全暴露前两幕的虚伪矫饰。
——你想我吗？——我很想你。——那我们上床吧。被伯爵玩弄的两个将军。男人养家真命苦。简单粗暴的叙事。
凭部分男性观众因为片中展现父权制下丑恶的男性群像就故意低分，我很乐意为此多加一颗星。朱迪对角色的理解非常到位，眼神、肢体语言，完美演绎了一个中世纪具有独立和反抗意识的女性在没有话语权的愚昧环境中如何生存与抗争，真希望她将来也能拿个大奖。亚当也是个好演员，以至于看完之后还久久不能原谅演员本人。审判和决斗戏都扣人心弦，寥寥几个镜头把众生的鄙俗和自私都刻画地淋漓尽致，孤立在中央一袭黑衣的朱迪既像圣女也像死神，这一刻在众生眼里的她是妻子、是荣誉的象征、是“造谣者”、是筹码、是财产、是“可耻的女性”象征，唯独不是她自己。和马丁斯科塞斯《爱尔兰人》面对的境遇相同，名导演因为过于扎实的功底和工整的故事表达，反而更容易被强调其中的缺陷。
罗生门的结构多少还是受了当前政治环境的影响，在叙事上意义不大，不过是多了层讽刺意味。。。不过一流导演就是一流导演，掌控力太强了
天国王朝之后的又一个历史剧 罗生门叙述下有好多镜头是重复的 也难怪大家不爱看。。 其实有一个关键的隐藏剧情没有展开：当时的法皇是疯子查理 怀疑斯科特老大爷精力实在不够了
看似是个男人决斗的故事，实际上却是女性的挣扎，演员在线，不得不吹爆雷老。
外国导演眼中的女性：《最后的决斗》。中国作家眼中的女性：《三体》
太多细节和线索值得品，每个人物都被多角度立体透视，试问自己你的关注点是落在真相上？还是决斗输赢上？
讲真我是误认为这个是星战系列才点进去的，于是前两段男人撒谎我都看到悃着了，但被女主的凄厉吼起来，认真看完第三段:决斗很好看☜时刻代入当年红毒蛇作死场面，善用膝盖那里抓紧做了笔记。字幕出来才发现竟然是老爹神作！难怪史诗感这么强烈，而女主在killing Eve中的表现总让我分分钟出戏✘觉得她应该一脚踹开老公『放着我来』！就把强奸犯和塑料小姐妹都碎成渣
碰瓷罗生门，但出发点却完全的不同，虽然我是小透明但也不敢再说了……罗生门当年我给4星，这个本来想少1星，但想到老雷已经84岁了，再加上从电影本质来讲本片还是非常精彩的，那就还是给到4星吧
这本就不是一个罗生门的故事 当然无需过多调度层面的视点变化 恰恰是相差无几的分镜、看似不甚高明的framing和表演层面体态动作的微小差别 将私人叙述归于社会议题 老雷采取的范式是critical realism而非interpretivism 期望抵达emancipation而非truth 所以他着墨于事件之外的历史背景 刻画父权社会对竞争、侵占的执念 却没有为任何男性角色辩护 惟有对女性苦难的共情是作者的政治表态：即便史册上冠冕堂皇的话语作何粉饰 在后Me Too时代 唯一可靠的信源是也只能是事件中的女性——那颗硬要与石头相碰的鸡蛋 那名失去观众的信任便再无他物的个体
没想到如此成熟的中古罗生门，雷公不负我。一部真正去剖析女权的作品，不是靠所谓故事结尾随意手撕男人来达成的空洞高潮，而是淡然地告知观众：this is the shit, eat it. 对比某些自作聪明的（说的就是你，前程似锦的女孩）作品，只能说假女权让女人恨男人，真女权让男人恨男人
什么罗生门，赤裸裸的绞杀与视而不见的冷漠组成的厌女联盟罢了，配合评论区某些言论整个一大型世界屠宰场，每天一个乞求世界毁灭的理由
