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.
假如没看过《控方证人》和《误杀瞒天记》我一定会觉得是佳作
前一个半小时不懂为啥8.6，后一个半小时这8.6打的值👏🏻
反转来得出人意料，却又在情理之中，期待下部
现实主义题材力作，直面多种印度社会问题，主角律师在法庭上的发言振聋发聩！虽然最终变成了复仇主题，但是瑕不掩瑜，这仍旧是一部非常有感染力的好电影！
印度片最让我不满意的地方就是太长了，导致前部分都是提速播放，整体看下来还是挺震撼的，虽然反转已经不算是新鲜的方式，但中段开始的法庭戏比较吸引我，节奏也飞快的，近期值得推荐的一片印度电影。
PS：最后来个复仇情节属实没必要。
有一些小钱，有两把刷子，有老也有小，
讨论的话题非常有意义，剧情反转的设置也很爽文，但就一个问题，印度的法庭是可以这样随便一人show的吗？
2、提问的人被戴上了镣铐，指责的人也被戴上了镣铐，说谁呢这是！😅😅
老灵额！确是一部与上海气脉相连的佳作。魔都的精明、世故、软糯与包容劲儿，那种华洋杂处传统与现代交汇的气息，还有既忙于油盐酱醋又欣赏得了高雅艺术的底气，都被本片轻盈鲜活得呈现出来。每位角色都刻画得不同于大部分电影中的刻板印象，尤其是女性书写更是丰富而不羁，展厅里李小姐、格洛瑞亚对老白的“女性凝视”令人印象深刻，直言不讳揭露文艺作品中男性视角下单薄片面程式化的女性形象，并让他代表中国（直）男导演道歉。满嘴名言看透人生的“哲学家”修鞋匠讽刺又喜感。多次复现的“艺辉国际学校”与“红拂杂货铺”都属导演的作者签名。烟火味十足的同时也不忘迷影梗儿，老乌的索菲娅罗兰爱情神话与李小姐名牌高跟鞋的真假已不再重要，毕竟只要情感真挚便已足够，结尾如神来之笔，投影仪之光闪耀跃动，观众与演员穿透银幕合一。（8.5/10）
至少我被反转震撼到了。政治游戏不一定非要像好莱坞里的漂亮国那样特工满天飞，满世界007。其实最恐怖的就是享受特权的那帮人玩弄底层人民。唐山、毒教材、舆论审核……
至少敢拍，能拍，还能放映，超了几条街了吧。如果警方定不了罪，那把他们当场释放咯，看看人民的愤怒是不是能撕了那四个人头。如果不能，这就是没血性的名族，也就不用去辛苦定罪了。还十四年，强奸，谋杀，焚烧毁尸，想想都气。知道为什么权贵帮他们四个人吗，不光是他们帮权贵做事，而且权贵也会追求刺激做出和那四个人一样的事情，所以当然他们轻拿轻放了。还有一开始的时候，上面老头一派胡言，竟然不敢扔鞋子，还谈什么读书人，百无一用
剧情真的很拖沓，动不动就慢镜头。。。讲的点太多，倒是反转很无聊，不如拍连续剧吧。只能说三星的一星给题材吧
"媒体的存在是为了报道真相 还是媒体所报道的一切都是真相？"
外滩18号，两个大相径庭的女宁面面相觑，恭候这个自以为老懂女宁额上海囡宁多时——用轻松幽默、四两拨千斤的调性论述两性关系的争议主题，颇有看点。缺点是插曲多，有滴乌苏。
前期节奏有点缓慢 后半渐入佳境 法庭的反转戏设定的既合理又有冲击性 剧本当属扎实 然而在法庭戏过后对于律师身份的补完却显得画蛇添足 仿佛导演觉得不是为了复仇没点私人理由就不能存在纯粹为了正义勇于对抗体制的勇者吗 比较遗憾的是电影最后沦为对当权者的抨击 而没有驻留在揭露并讽刺体制和社会现象的更高立意上 只能算是剧情尚可但内涵不足的作品吧
印度悬疑群像也做得这么精彩了，反转反转反转，我作为观众有几分像小丑。当然留下的几处疑点还是被我精准捕捉到了。
虚浮缥缈的小资遐想和人物，几个女演员仍然是作为镶边符号，只会念碎片式网络流行语。说它消费女性吧，徐峥在里面鞠躬道歉自己先骂了；说它沪语多硬拗派头，时不时又冒出几句普通话，然而无意义，都是无聊片汤话。
也没多复杂的剧情 东绕西绕扯了将近三个小时 实在有点受不了。
真理＞信仰＞尊严≈人性。真相只有一个，却敢编敢做，将其玩弄得出神入化，化作千万个动听的故事，用权力玩人心，公理何在？幸好，正义从不缺席，法治社会就是一面照妖镜，照出了女性处境、教育腐败、政治阴谋、体制溃烂、种族歧视、煽动人心、媒体操控、正义边界、法律公信等等问题。我们还会相信自己的眼睛和耳朵吗，道听途说是人的本能反应。我们要追随内心的正义感，守住根本道德底线。
