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.
挺写实的拍法，开头很恐怖，人性表现的不错，很接地气
逆行在悲凉大山深林深处的孤勇者
形式大于内容的典型，剧本太差了以致于对故事和人物几乎没留下什么印象
听认真观影的朋友解释后大为失望......
一看片头许江 金一斌 高世名挂帅 结合之前在国美公众号上看他们狂吹电影怎么怎么样 就差不多能猜到这大抵是在跟央美抢主旋律话语权呢 但我只在画面上看到有国美的样 剧情呢 不伦不类
烂片当道，看得多了人都变得宽容，对好片的标准也变得模糊。但真正的好片，大多是润物细无声的，无需大肆张扬，自能触动人心，《爱情神话》《雄狮少年》如此，本作也如此。
但与电影主流文化看上去有些许“另类”
感觉挺适合做游戏的，画面确实不错。但是，一支无组织无纪律没有战术不会动脑的军队是无法打长久战、以少胜多、从混战中获得最后胜利的，主创对红军的刻板印象受欧美影响太深，他们甚至不愿意认真读一读《红星照耀中国》
#BJIFF2021#
受宣传“诗性电影”影响，抱着一种奢侈的期待去看这部主旋律，有意的和《伊万的童年》做了对比，发现本片所谓的诗性仅留存于画面形式上，文本仍是“纯粹的”战争，节奏、意象也未跳脱出类型的框架。必须说出，导演有意营造的动静统一被拙劣的斯坦尼康毁的一塌糊涂。很遗憾没有在片中看到我军排泄的场景，刻意的性别命题也过于神圣。人只是像人而已。
讲述的国共战争，看中国人打中国人真的没有看中国人打外国人带劲。整个大荧屏一直是很黑暗的感觉，给人观影体验很不好，看了四十分钟影院陆陆续续有人离场。
啥玩意，画面都快看不清了。这方言对话，像湖南，又有点像江浙，快分裂了～
#2021青年导演海上影展 听口音就知道导演是老乡，果然是摄影感大于电影感。配音虽然是方言，但是夹在影片里确实有些怪。为老乡导演再加一星！！！
形式大于内容的典型，剧本太差了以致于对故事和人物几乎没留下什么印象
但为了方言用配音不对口型就不行了，我很反感不对口型的配音，老老实实让演员学方言不行，演员基本素养吧。
观影时跑神了，以为结局的意思是上级其实派了很多敢死队（送死的）去炸武器库，男主幡然醒悟，顿觉生命的虚无，开枪自杀。
还问了导演个问题
比较喜欢里面几幕心理惊悚的恐怖镜头，大概是想表达战争中士兵的ptsd吧
想要学毕赣没学成，一不小心学成了毕志飞，同时也从反面说明了为什么塔可夫斯基是电影之神。他最简单的《伊万的童年》也不是你们这帮衣逼学的出来的。
