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.
这或许也是一个“有趣”的对比，让世界上其它地方看到这部良心之作的人萌生某种警醒！
一个人不在于有什么才能 而是用才能做些什么。never stop fighting。
甚至不如梅峰老师的不成问题的问题
社会环境感觉跟这个时代有点脱节…1.0的直白和煽情，always一言不合就唱跳…8.7分 ？就这？？really ？？？这还是豆瓣吗…另外也忒tm长了
韩国版“沉默”。虽然不喜欢导演对天主教和儒学的捧一踩一的态度，但是片子确实打动人心，讨论的主题很吸引人，但奈何还是隔靴搔痒，这可能是韩国文化的悲伤吧，两种思想都是外来的，学哪种都画虎不成……构图和故事也在西方和东方之间摇摆，借鉴还是没借鉴到精髓啊……整部片子的水平就像韩国人做的绝句诗一样，乍一看挺唬人，仔细看不太行
与我第一次看预告片时的想象有些不同，我倒是希望拍的神幻一点，后三十分钟太说教了。
故事讲得好，演员演得好，景色应该也是很美的，黑白扣2分
薛景求不演苦逼父亲之后，又一诚意之作。摄影、美术、演技、剧情看的十分舒服，真的相当难得。《兹山鱼谱》是按照《本草纲目》的思路来写的，但愿有生之年能再内地银幕上看到《本草纲目》。
我想说，印度电影的进步，逐日一般迅猛啊-----影片的主题是“很满意自己根据良心做出的决定”。
评论区里有个评论说“儒学的正反面，这种历史题材本该由我们述说，但这是一部韩国电影。”我很赞同这句话。在韩国电影百花齐放的时候，我们这边的电影却青黄不接。随着年龄的增长，越来越想看中国电影，但在当下的中国电影里又能看到什么呢？这是谁的过错？
黑白影片意境深远 书读多了 看了外面的世界才发现外面的世界很精彩也很无奈
22/1/16:对这个导演比较陌生，从能把一部剧的体量浓缩进了电影还是能看出功底的出色；导演对政治的态度也很妙。三星半
主要出戏点：配乐像搜“诙谐”找的罐头音乐，“西巴”之高频大致可推对话也不怎么样
印度是真正有希望的国家，至少他们允许这样的电影存在。
为底层发声的电影 不会太差 我们的电影只有歌颂 一一种声音 然而误杀却是各种改编...自己都懒的创作了
司法独立很重要，不然完全没地方说理。但是有了制度，如果参与制度运行的人良心都叫狗吃了，制度也起不了作用。
百感交集的人生写意。中国历史上同样的故事非常之多，从满腔抱负，到耕犁自省。韩国人知道什么是东方文化的好东西，一部一部的把它拍出来。借古喻今，汲取东方哲学智慧。我们一边嘲笑人家是野种，一边空灵的自豪我们有渊源的历史文化。
星星之火，可以燎原。感谢这些伟大的人把这个世界变得更好。
一流的剧本和表演。师徒互为对照。年轻的徒弟入仕为官后才懂人微力薄，老师教不会他的，经历把他教会了。无力改善民生，但学过的诗文印在心里，也斩断了同流合污的可能。实现不了经世致用的理想，却能在孤独清净的生活里守心守道。知识在儒学里、在科学里，也在兹山上大大小小的鱼类中。
信念幻灭竟然是以如此惨烈的方式，徒弟努力过了，但这痛苦让人难以承受。师父在斗室里说这是一个不需要王的世界的时候，被薛景求迸发的理想光芒灼到眼睛，愿为这个时刻加个一星。谢谢导演，感受到了久违的文化之美。
