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.
Woke up this morning 片尾的歌声一响起，瞬间就被拉回当年看剧时的感觉，味道很足啊。
想法挺有野心，但把一季电视剧的量压成一部电影看着就又累又毛躁了
不过有一说一插曲和主题曲是蛮好听的。
主要讲了Tony上一代的家族史，如果没有看过原剧肯定是不到两星。
《黑道家族》的男主角扮演者詹姆斯甘多菲尼在剧集结束七年后因病去世，非常令人遗憾，在本片中扮演东尼小时候的演员正是他的儿子迈克尔甘多菲尼，我觉得这就是对他最好的纪念了，说不定正因为迈克尔甘多菲尼也像父亲一样走上了演员的道路才促成了本片的拍摄呢。
电影的叙述线主要有两条，一条是小说家津田在一家酒吧做酒保，于是这个酒吧就自然地成为了他与编辑见面的场所，他请编辑在这里阅读自己新写的小说，探讨剧情，在这个过程中编辑越来越觉得他写的内容并非虚构，而是真事，为了不给出版社带来麻烦而不得已到现实中进行印证，毕竟这个作家有“前科”，因为上一部小说里面使用了真名真事而让出版社吃了官司。另一条线则是伴随着叙述而将小说中的故事逐渐展现出来。
最后收尾挺好，也是为之后续集留路
编剧和导演并不能驾驭电影这个形式 现在就是一部冗长的流水账 剧情东一下西一下 剪辑节奏不连贯 整体一盘散沙
主要缺点是没以Tony为主线，而是Dick这个在剧集里没露面的人
强行加入的BLM元素让人并不舒适，两个小时对于人物的特点刻画来说显得有些太短。
The Many Saints of Newark
1主线N副线，男主在现实中和自己的小说中都是一个人，但穿插过度就是故作玄虚，文学可以引申来创造，但作为电影的直观性表达却难以实现...
就当什么都没发生过吧 如果非要打分的话 那就给个负无限分 因为对于看了一辈子黑道家族的我来说 这部片对我造成了跨越维度的冒犯和伤害
你的地盘里有不服管教的小混混，你不感到可耻吗？
多年前，《黑道家族》补到第二季弃了。再给它一次机会。
真的很好看，神作，全程无尿点，要留意每一个细节，很棒，牛
一股子伊坂幸太郎味，还是状态很一般时候的伊坂，「拍手することで妖精が死なないのなら、俺もちょっと救われるかもしれない。今度どうしようもなくなった時は俺も手を叩くよ。」，这可太像伊坂式乐观主义了。
作家的视角最终无法在虚构与现实中重叠，将故事的现实河悲剧性予以延申；纵然热爱文学、坚忍爱情，终究无法觅到幸福，这其中缺乏真正动人的细节；看到最后，我还是想在酒吧与吟子姐偶遇。
无聊的故事用凌乱的剪辑表现出来，没有推理的感觉
7.3。女演员都挺漂亮。最后的推理也算把几条线连贯串起来了。去掉床戏分能再高点。
