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.
电影氛围感挺强，演员演技中规中矩不是很推荐的影视作品，高潮部分不够精彩，过程不够流畅，对我而言断断续续的。
咋地？张伯伦是隐忍的英雄？绥靖还有道理了？铁爸爸演张伯伦也阻止不了我骂他^_^另外我有了新的cp嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻
张伯伦，英国的补锅匠，只是最后这口锅还是漏了。
hoping is waiting for someone else to do it，we do must better without it
这个卡司我爱了，扬尼斯小哥还有伦敦一枝花夏洛特，但在老演员们的衬托下年轻演员们的演技还是有些稚嫩青涩；剧本无功无过，一些情节点的紧张感也有，开头的双线交叉比相遇之后来的更有意思，ss和Paul交锋时的紧迫感本可以更大的
22.02.22.Putin大帝宣布承认乌克兰两个共和国。历史重演
继ggad后又一对英国男人和他的致命德国男友。
看了一半的时候feel like：十年前那种二战背景历史正剧欧风原耽中篇的感觉……包括结尾的几次闪回确实很怅惘，但说实话缺乏对角色本身转变的刻画和逻辑，只能讲还是演员选得好……Hugh和Paul都不太会当间谍的样子，99%的紧张感在于“大哥你们小心点啊这很容易被发现”从历史片角度来看这部电影拍得也就这么回事
关于慕尼黑协议的故事，但是没有谍战的紧张，而且好像过了一个小时才开始切入正题，没怎么看的下去，刷着手机看完的…
作为商业片本片尚可以一看，至少矛盾冲突激烈，节奏紧凑不拖泥带水，特别是慕尼黑会谈上的一些桥段很有谍战韵味，英格兰的青年才俊和德国的热血青年真的很燃，但作为历史片来说本片可以说是大大的拉跨，不但洗白张伯伦没有说服力，就连基本的政治观都带偏了。张伯伦法拉第的绥靖政策就像希特勒是全民选举的结果一样，是欧洲人民所谓的民主自由选择的道路，惧战厌战和自卫心理才是希特勒蚕食欧洲成功的基础。所谓西方大国战略永远是牺牲小国以换取自身的利益和安全，所以看到片尾打出来的字幕显示慕尼黑协让英国争取了备战时间就感觉非常恶心了，洗白张伯伦无非就是洗白西方国家的失败，张伯伦的错误是全欧洲人的错误，他没有背锅也没有被冤枉，本片只不过是在为历史上的人为错误找个冠冕堂皇的理由而已，这样的历史片比毒教材有过之而无不及！
有一点没看明白：党卫军军官既然没在英国翻译的房间里搜到文件，为什么还要打英国翻译？
张伯伦错了吗？我觉得没有，历史有时候很不公平，如果没有他，怎么会有激进的丘吉尔。
英国外交官不回家的原因找到了 心系德牧 （荞麦和三姐别搭了演完母子演夫妻这俩人真没啥cp感） 无论如何做出过努力而不是在等死，总会有希望，而不抱希望会更好。车内道别一场，美人流泪心痛！
在历史车轮之前，每个人的决定或许狂热，或许偏执，或许盲目，但无疑都是坚定的。如今看来，那样的年代，似乎没有完全之举，余下都只是无奈妥协。后半段有点同性电影的意思啊，很隐忍但又在不断挑拨着你往那方面想。。玩的溜
这是一部典型的剧情推动电影，背景较为特殊，是根据历史小说改编，对其真实性的认可，是观众观看电影的思想基础。整个影片制作水准较高，故事的节奏把握得很好，紧张而流畅。尽管大家对这段二战历史史实都已经知道，但对影片所描述的故事：剧中主人公为阻止二战爆发而做出的努力，大家并不是很清楚，这也是大家的兴趣点所在。
一触即发的大战，他们有别的选择，但他们没选择其他答案。
紧张的氛围与紧凑的节奏，知道结局的我依然很慌张。最大的败笔在于不改变历史结局的前提下，对于保罗刺杀失败的处理。他压根就不会有这个机会。
稍显冗长，但保罗握枪犹豫那一段确实让人心跳加速，甚至按下了暂停键缓一缓。张伯伦的选角很合适。但人物形象整体还是太过于扁平，比如张伯伦的形象似乎非常完美。
此外还有很多熟悉的老面孔，巴比伦柏林女主，王冠里的爱德华八世……荞麦小哥西装革履的精英扮相居然比1917里的狼狈乱糟糟的汤米更苦逼，好在这一次他总算没有再眼睁睁看着朋友死去了
二战+英德+夏日回忆+牛津校友+外交官×翻译官重逢，对不起但这妥妥的是带英男同片配置啊，建议加上《莫里斯》《故园风雨后》组成二战爱情三部曲。（Ps.杰尼斯的帅气程度让我狂喜，欧美年轻一代演员终于有一个正经大帅哥了，流lui感慨，请给他多塞资源！）
