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.
7个动画短片，最喜欢《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》和《翼娃子的星期天》，以后和小朋友再看一遍，如果出一本纸质绘本就更好了
适合带小孩去看
没有观众交流就离谱。
2022.01.28晴转雨夹雪 国产绘本电影，七个关于亲情的故事，虽是动画，其实作为“大人”可能更有共鸣，过年期间看份外温暖，可惜排片这么少，试想一下如果有更好的宣传+大量的排片，说不定就此改变了“贺岁片”的格局和格调，相信一家人一起看这个部电影会是一个美好的回忆。
冲着国内首部绘本原创电影也必须要带娃进影院看。七个短片，每一个都温暖感人，《小火车》和最后一个《翼娃子的星期天》直接泪崩。关于爱和家庭，关于普通人的现实生活，关于家乡，都是积极向上的底色，画面也极好，各种方言也很有意思。
前几天刚看了《雄狮少年》，虽然片方一直说他们是三无影片，但我觉得其实这部电影才是真的“三无”。它没有流量的IP，没有跌宕起伏的剧情，没有花里胡哨炫技的视效，但它依然不影响我给出最佳的褒奖。因为这部电影有属于中国的爱与美，有最纯粹的情感力量，有一帮独立动画人的热忱。我觉得这是国产动画电影的一种新尝试，它也将是一个新的开始。”
看完只想说，真好。有希望真好，被人爱着真好❤️
里面由好几个故事构成，寓意很深。对《蒯老伯的糖水铺》还有最后一个关于外婆的故事这两个作品印象比较深刻。《蒯老伯的糖水铺》动画转场深得我心，推荐！
有时候我就想啊，世界是一个多维度的立体空间，每一部电影都能开启我们对这个立体的更新维度的探索。不是所有的动画电影主角都是小孩子，起码在《向着明亮那方》中，好几个篇章的主人公就是中老年人，这样的动画向孩子们展现的是一整个世界，而非夸张低幼的无脑作品，一味只顾着嘻嘻哈哈哈。

今年看过最贴近真实生活的电影居然是一系列动画短片。
【心有温暖，向往光明】今天和《向着明亮那方》发行方聊了很久，关于影片，关于年后艺管方向，关于对原创动画的推广，收获满满。电影简单而明媚，画风多样。却有可能因为推广费用而没太多人知悉，太遗憾了！真心希望喜欢画画的孩子能看到这部电影
七个绘本故事组织，非常的温馨和治愈。泪点低的朋友一定要带好纸巾。
小孩子是很容易被这部电影的画风和想象力而治愈的，而成年人则会被影片里的各种人生滋味给整破防。总体来说，这部电影照顾到了不同的年龄群体，每个人都能从中看到属于自己的情怀和感动。我最喜欢的是这部电影的纯粹干净，就好像是孩子的内心似的，找到了久违的单纯，让我在这个纷繁忙碌的成人的世界得到了片刻的喘息。
今天看《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》，到心坎里面了。
几个故事立意很好，是非常适合孩子们的电影，可以知道的人太少了
最喜欢外婆那个故事。想必做动画的人都有一颗纯真的心吧。
我要打五星，鼓励一下国产动画！希望可以越来越好！
樊登推荐，专门来看。第一感觉，故事稍微低幼了一些，都是十分简单的故事，更加适合带上小朋友去看。不过后面的两个故事，哼哈二将，还有发生在南京的的故事，稍微好一些了。基本上是复古的动画风格，水墨和油画风，可以看看吧！
《小兔的问题》关于成长，《萤火虫女孩》的关于回顾，光是开头的这两个篇章就已经吊足了人的胃口，明明是反差如此巨大的内容和主题，但是在看过之后竟然觉得出奇的一致，毫无违和感，看来导演在创作的过程中一定也是下足了功夫，才能在不停变化的细节之中精准的把握一丝一毫的情绪转变。
