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.
年度迷惑电影，请离开旬报十佳。在每年流水线量产的、翻来覆去那点破事儿的日式致郁家族电影里，这部都算是残次品。
钝刀杀人。片中人互相折磨，然后一起折磨观众。而结尾那套硬凑正能量大和解的转折让人感觉在看国产电视剧。
第一个想夸的竟然是这个取景地的空间感，完全不像是试读剧本和排练的地方，但是又和这个非常artificial vibe的故事很搭
雖然名字叫主競賽，但卻沒啥電影節片子的調調，看似是對演藝圈光怪陸離亂象的諷刺，誇張到極致反而是對文藝工作者奉獻自我的謳歌。另外，片中三位主演都有不同程度的自我解構以及自身經歷的投射，其中班德拉斯最為出彩。最搞笑的是頭頂巨石、吻戲ASMR以及粉碎機。表演真是太棒了，從頭到尾都是大寫的Acting！
女司机遇到飞来横祸后尽己所能去道歉却屡不被接受，选择了自杀后还要被亲妈骂懦弱？？歪？？无法理解。这就好比有人突然卧轨自杀，你们难道要怪司机没住刹车？？？
真正的罪犯从始至终没有认罪，反而善良的人在遭受折磨
这种黑色幽默像是在吐槽很多业内的电影，千篇一律，一个人啧啧称赞，那就大家跟着啧啧称赞，没有所谓的“褒贬”，有的只有“褒”，以及Lola实在太性感了
一部充满自嘲与嘲讽，同时又在教观众看电影的本子，虽然是传统的戏中戏结构，但仍然拍出了悬疑感。
玩我！？？真以为得癌症了，我还想发展这么普通，然后…演的好好（鼓掌！立体化讽刺，绞碎奖杯那里我笑的想死Hahhahah
一帮阿莫多瓦的演员演出一个阿莫多瓦式的荒诞故事，包括金棕榈在内的至高奖杯被粉碎机碎成渣那段真是爆笑又讽刺！2022.06.18
节奏控制的很好，演员演技也全部在线，故事深度差一点，太自省了，搞得观众看的很累，像海边下跪那场戏的台词 太累了阿…，倒着抽烟细节很好，整体不错
看简介很有意思，加上又是日本本土票选的年度十大，可能期待过高了吧，看完觉得太普通，叙事，视听，都没能充分展现这个故事。
太好看了…不是那种装疯卖傻式comedy, 笑点背后很多可以讨论的东西，场景里的建筑也很美。
花音过马路的冲击感和店长逃避男主过马路的音乐节奏都很棒。整个故事的起因最终归结于亲情关系，与其说在寻找真相，不如说是给自己找一个理由。角色们不同的结局都是救赎的一种体现。海豚云的call back突然戳人，虽然彼此不懂对方，但原来一直看着同一朵云啊。
2.12 全員‘歇斯底里的社會’題材日影樣板「みんなどうやって折り合いつけていくんだろうな」结局父女某时眼中一样的风景有点戳
#TIFF21，实在钛好笑了~用金属粉碎机把金棕榈和银狮奖碎成渣那段太魔幻了！这两个导演在《杰出公民》之后再度联手的一部喜剧，片子里面有不少这两个导演前作的元素和道具，今天TIFF看的片子里笑的次数最多的一部，充满讽刺的一部解构类喜剧，把社会权力刨开进行解构再重组就很好笑，如同用刀划开伤口再去缝合。克鲁兹演的真好！另外两个影帝飙戏也很爽！
一个亿万富豪企业家冲动地制作一部经典电影，于是找来知名电影人萝拉（彭妮露古丝 饰）执导这部野心勃勃的大制作，众星云集的主演阵容里有两位重量级、但麻烦多多的演员：荷里活型男菲力斯（安东尼奥班达拉斯 饰）和偏激的舞台剧演员伊凡（奥斯卡马提涅兹 饰），两个传奇人物同时也是死对头。经过萝拉设下一连串光怪陆离的试炼之后，菲力斯和伊凡不只要正面交锋，还要保全各自的名声。当电影终于开拍时，谁能笑到最后？
媒体的不负责任，导致对当事人产生了巨大的舆论压力，所以车祸不是结束，仅仅是开始。
冷漠、麻木、压抑形成的恶性循环，可以说是一个非常“日本”的故事，尤其是自杀女司机及其母亲。
#TIFF2021#今年好像各大电影节都多了很多这种戏中戏互文或者带有不同戏剧文本的juxtaposition的电影，特别在Drive My Car之后再看这部就感觉特别奇妙。Official Competition里的黑色幽默节奏把握的很好，特别是克鲁兹今年的状态好的令人惊叹，两位“影帝”间的交峰也笑果满满。只是最后结尾倒有些弱了，如同一开始女导演未讲完的剧本故事一般，蒙着一层雾，让我们最终对于“竞赛“还是未知全貌。
