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.
题材加一颗星 敢想敢说 但说好一个故事的各方要素都太薄弱了
故事算是一波三折，也有体制批判性，但是法庭辩论的台词感觉乱七八糟，缺乏专业度和逻辑性。
将近3个小时，真的太长太长了。不得不说印度真的很敢拍啊，他们难道没有那种类似广电总局的存在吗？
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。
8.5 2022上半年看过的最好看的电影，没有之一。
前半一个多小时看得我又想笑又恶心，拥挤的音乐和疯狂的煽情填满了每一处空间，根本没有节奏可言，一段又一段的内容接连放送，没有剧情只有信息。后面我承认反转是令人震撼的，角色拉黑又洗白也是厉害，但片子真的信息塞爆，因此没有任何一个段落得到充分有效的发挥，角色也令人难以共情，甚至难以令人信服。多给一星纯粹是为了律师演员和男政治老师、死去女老师的颜，少量足够力量的台词，以及不少撕破摊开的印度黑幕。只可惜片子的主题在我看来，依旧只是几乎所有人都在为自己的私心服务。
关于舆论操控我建议看有关《We become what we behold》游戏的视频，会有更深的感悟。
最好的办法是放弃连根拔起的荒唐念头，用锄头也好，大斧也好，把树根的主干切断，挖出最大的隐患，而那些残根在见不得光的地下，得不到养分的输入，也会慢慢腐烂，最终成为泥土的一份子了。这样对将来另起屋宇也好，松土种菜也好，不会产生大的阻碍。
希望印度以后再也没有这种现实题材可以参考。
太精彩了，今年四大电影节这部电影没获奖，我TM绝对不认可。
那些拿拍摄手法、剧情bug说事，讽刺别人因为题材打五星的人，自己不也因为题材给战狼，长津湖打了五星吗？每个人都有自己的评分标准，没有谁比谁高级，用不着装高级讽刺别人。
电影让世界更美好。这片子太屌了，五星起步。
一开始以为是个社会电影，后来以为是女性电影，再后来发现是政治电影，最后知道是复仇电影。导演手法娴熟，没有歌舞但有慢动作mv。反转的有点累，不是很喜欢。
-彼时彼刻？-恰如此时此刻。-竟能如此相像？-像，太像了，不过你比他缺了一样东西。-不会是脸上的麻子吧？-当然不是，【你不会装糊涂】
“在良心面前 没有少数服从多数的法则”
为了争权夺利，这些政治家什么肮脏的事都做了。
“我的出生是一个错误”在这个国家，他们唯一的错误就是出生在这个体系里，他们的出生确实是个错误。 虽然不怎么喜欢这个结局，但2022目前最佳😭（昨晚复盘电影，越想越觉得后半段为了反转而反转，使前半段很多内容显得牵强；但我还是很受震撼，也许是这部电影或多或少有点最近一些新闻的影子
其实电影拍的比较一般，尤其受不了一直铺陈的不太和谐的背景音乐，这配乐就是一个目的，煽动你、刺激你，再就是那么多的慢镜头让人直翻白眼，好好讲个故事不行吗，估计是为了印度的电影院效果，最后就是这部电影触碰的话题，警察腐败、教育制度、政治操纵、媒体渲染等等体制的问题也基本都是被串联了起来的事件，并没有哪个体制的问题被真正的深挖出来，而且这些都不是一个人的问题，如果一个所谓的坏人投入到这样的体制里，不会有出淤泥而不染的人，两个小时40分钟，还是有点冗长。
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
就电影而言 有些拖沓 我们共情的是电影之外的事物 性别歧视 学术造假 舆论导向 政治手段 等等
