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.
开始很想为对凯奇的情怀打四星，但想了想还是作罢。中规中矩的小成本犯罪喜剧，即使加上讨巧的设定、层层戏中戏、致敬、翻身的马甲也掩饰不了片子的平庸。当然尼古拉斯凯奇的演绎一如既往的赞，当然也没有什么突破。几个配角没有太深刻的印象，哈维的形象也乏善可陈。共同点是他们的表演都很用力，即使这本来就是一部很用力的电影，但还是显得浮夸了，好像在挠脚心逗你笑。结尾尝试用点新奇的反转，也并没有让人眼前一亮，却是落入类型片的俗套中。
我也算看着他电影长大的，蛮多梗还是很get到，前半部比较有趣，后面乱七八糟的。
一位叫做凯奇的中年大叔过气演员写给自己的情书，难得将中年危机拍得这么好玩儿，过程如此欢乐，充满自黑和黑色幽默，让懂的观众不断会心微笑或开怀大笑，结局还是不能免俗地回归到漂亮国家庭至上主义的主流价值观的大团圆结局上，个人觉得既然踏上了让凯奇自己演自己，还有个年轻版的虚拟自己跟自己不断对话，整部影片还可以玩得在“飞”一点，脑洞还可以再大一点，自嘲和反讽还可以再辛辣一点。总之算是近期难得一见的一部构思颇有创意、也充满致敬情怀的欢乐片。
太cliché，太外向，太完滿。在轉移到韓語世界的過程中，是枝裕和的作者性也被抹掉了一大半。我還是更喜歡看他講內向的故事，情緒被收成一輪殘月。現在的滿月美則美矣，但也就到此為止了。
太特么难！看！了！宋康昊用这部拿影帝他自己好意思吗？要剧情没剧情，要节奏没节奏，要演技没演技，要表达没表达……拍的是什么玩意啊！
一众演员受限于剧本，也难有发挥空间。宋康昊一直是我心中TOP1“韩国演技之神”，但这次的表演只算中规中矩，远不及之前的作品…其余人更不用说，我家老婆IU、姜东元的演绎都难有深刻印象，而裴斗娜与李周映的警察存在更是令人迷惑。
自我调侃的尼古拉斯.凯奇有一种别样的魅力，搞笑的地方常常从现实跳进影片里，来回切换更加有趣。其实后半段就觉得这应该是戏中戏，不然中间那些无厘头简直离谱，不过总体来说，终于从低潮走出来的凯奇，值得掌声。
很失望，本以为只是类似《真相》的次等水平，没想到直接可以排进导演生涯末流了。虽说是枝裕和到如今的阶段肯定不至于拍出烂片，但明显想表达的意涵早已在《小偷家族》里用更精确扎实的方式释放了，完全没必要换个国家再拍一部姊妹篇。
每一个喜欢尼古拉斯凯奇的观众，都应该看看这部电影。
“姓名”无法界定身份和归属——是枝裕和用这样的暗喻试图合理化他走向国际的创作路径，但他无法淡化强烈的作者印记。这个“韩国”故事看起来不够韩国，之所以成立，依然要感谢人类社会共同相信的某种普世价值体系。
是枝裕和怎么这么拉了，如此轻佻的剧本，真是几乎找不到一点好
【8】 —— 1 —— 🔴 2022【35】 🔵 美国【103】
这一次的掮客家族，并不让人动容。也许，一切只是为了让所有人都有个和解的出口
凯奇吃老本还债片之集大成者，居然还不难看。他扮演的自己还是个有着电影梦想并且深爱着家庭的人，希望他还完债务之后再接片可以稍微有点选择，重新找回事业第二春吧。
虽然还有两部是枝裕和电影长片未看，但足以确认本片是是枝裕和生涯最差。大半时间都难看到让人如坐针毡。温吞鸡汤大集合，主题先行故作架势，强行煽情尴尬无比，非血缘家庭的戏不是随便凑几个人物就能成立的，小男孩虽然演得好但本身就是个生硬加进来的角色，宋康昊其他代表作的表演都胜过他在本片中对角色的诠释，李知恩虽然美但真的看不出有演技，裴斗娜的警察线完全是虚浮无谓浪费时间，片中人物都薄如纸片，根本立不起来，所谓的破碎人生不幸前史也都一望而知根本不需要煞有介事地铺陈揭示。视听上也只是及格并无出彩之处。结尾更是无趣“团圆”到以为在看xx主旋律片。摩天轮场景算是唯一称得上亮点的段落。（5.0/10）
前半段还挺好的后面突然开始没必要地拖延……………………IU演技还不错啊挺惊喜的
22_088。因为是日本导演拍韩国电影吗，整体显现一种“水土不服”的感觉，没有打动我是真的。公路电影的优点没有出来，裴斗娜一条也是否有点多余？
熟悉的是枝裕和风格，运镜、色彩、音乐和克制的氛围——虽然故事换了个发生地点，但也算南韩演技派顶配阵容了，因此电影在气质上也尽可能少了些违和感——其实按照这个剧本，年纪再往前10年的阿部宽，宫崎葵，安藤樱，福山雅治来围炉夜话，估计就对味了；// 这种小小的无伤大雅的违和感该怎么形容呢：日影的文艺感是温和深邃有时光来托重的——它可以下沉的相当彻底；而韩影的文艺感失去了些因文化积淀而产生的必然性——富五代和富二代的区别。
算是小偷家族姊妹篇，一个骗子家族的故事，都是边缘人凑成的临时家庭，都在人性的善与恶之间摇摆，但基本是全方位的倒退，整个特别拧巴，也更俗套，把拐卖儿童美化成这样，让人完全无法接受。饼叔靠着近几年最不起眼的一次表演拿下了人生最重要的一个奖，估计自己都觉得懵。
