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.
挺好笑的哈哈哈哈，竟然展现了昨天的新闻热点LSD，加一星吧
电影主题自然是关于生命，关于新生生命的意义，关于抛弃生命的动机，这些重复的母题显然在是枝裕和的其他作品里屡次提及，但由于上述原因，让观众很难代入角色产生共鸣。
尽管这些年以来，他被冠以“烂片之王”的名号，但我从来没有减少过对他的喜爱，现在，他终于回来了。7.27
本来我觉得这一部电影，是值不上五星的，最多四星，三星是正常。但是当我看到了摩天轮以及关灯说话那部分，我就知道我的情绪和泪点不允许我打低分了。对于我而言，只要可以真切地打动我，那么就值五星。
意外的是，“娃娃鱼”李东辉的客串是亮点，不愧是自带笑点的男人～
说回春了倒也没有，中规中矩也没什么尺度的流水线喜剧罢了，Nic自己演自己就是最大看点，以及……谁不爱小本老师的帕丁顿熊呢？
结局太莫名其妙了，我想看的是小孩被卖掉的结局。
挺无趣的，既然都消费自己了，为何不索性玩得大一点呢？
很奇怪，很拼凑。是枝裕和贵在慢，但是这次承载了太多剧情所以剧本推进节奏很离奇，日韩差异的水土不服还在。如果能改成五六集的迷你剧就好了，每个人物都可以得到拓展。作为电影，大体上的呈现是可以的，很是枝裕和。
有关这片子的一切都是烂俗的，除了尼古拉斯凯奇。
连是枝裕和都开始了这样，没有故事强编故事。反正有大把老底慢慢消耗。
是枝裕和、宋康昊、IU、裴斗娜，没有人能拒绝这么一个阵容的电影，但这部电影观感很奇怪。它从剧本层面看是好的，演员的表演也是好的，可是呈现出来东西就是没达到本该有的效果。摩天轮和关灯说感谢这两场戏才有了一些是枝裕和以往的“力度”，其他部分则绵软无力。
片子里的亲情啊，友情啊其实发展都挺老套的，给片子加分绝对算不上，好在也没多减分。好玩的是凯奇对自己演艺生涯的调侃和致敬等等，联系现实会让人忍俊不禁，越了解凯奇劲儿越大。看凯奇叔这么拼，抱拳了，但真的不负当年勇了，这片明显佩德罗帕斯卡的表演更好。
本以为会看到一部咸鱼翻身之作，但没想到浓浓的自恋风扑面而来。凯奇拿自己的黄金时期和落魄时期开涮已然相当无趣，既然他声称已还清了债，那他还是踏实接一部片子……不，还是退出影坛吧
稍稍有点失望，可能之前是枝裕和小偷家族给我留下的印象太深了，细腻温情残忍冷酷无奈体现的淋漓尽致，这部相比手法过于相近，主题不错，结局过于乌托邦了。
2，每一个拐卖儿童案，就要搭进去一个女警察协助善后，韩国女警察还够用吗？
Not bad！Cage和Javi都好可爱，看完电影做的第一件事是，下载《帕丁顿熊2》！
【8】 —— 1 —— 🔴 2022【35】 🔵 美国【103】
自己演绎自己还是很有趣的，比凯奇这些年的狗血电影是强的多，奈何剧中剧的故事性还是差强人意…
从头看到尾，内心竟然毫无波动。这个“掮客家族”真的没有化学反应，因为过程中缺乏情感变化的支撑，摩天轮、旅馆两场走心戏好则好矣，也没能托起整部片子。
