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.
瞎起灵啊 瞎起灵! ! !
灵啊，有哭有笑，不上价值，意犹未尽，就是好片子了。
有点点上海版小伍迪艾伦的味道，不同的是虽然剧情的推进是通过徐峥饰演的男性角色的，但影片是充满女性视角的，整体自然流畅又舒服。片子里有很多“冒犯”的、“造反”的、内涵社会现象和文艺圈现状的台词，也难怪这片口碑爆的时候有老导演看不惯看不起喷本片导演。我想“女人一辈子不造一次反是不完整的”也是导演本人的态度。
精致，浪漫，刻薄可爱，宛如置身于上海的街道，迎面遇上一群似乎装腔作势又似乎原应如此的妙人。人到中年情转克制，克制的浓情本身也是一种浪漫。
国产电影现在开始进军独立音乐这个素材库了，从《雄狮少年》到《爱情神话》，很难不想到杨宁老师说的那种靠bgm推进的烂片。国产独立音乐可比国产电影灵多了。
个人一直以来不太喜欢徐峥，不喜欢他身上老练的精明的味道。但是不得不承认，他在这部片里的表演让我很满意。没想过有一天有机会在同一步片里看到吴越，马伊琍和倪虹洁，看到他们不再困于刻板的“妈妈”角色，在讲她们的情情爱爱，希望有越来越多适合她们的角色和片子～
生动、有趣、贴近生活。这片儿准确抓住了心目中上海人性格的精髓，就是那种一边唠唠叨叨心里还为你着想的刀子嘴豆腐心。华语电影里难得的迷影片，拍的还挺高级。
也是很意外的第一次看到有那么大爷大妈自发走进影院去看这部影片，说明方言的魅力真的很大。同样是靠剧本收获口碑和市场，这部片出来，我几乎可以把《扬名立万》逐出个人年度十佳了。它甚至有潜力成为中国版《真爱至上》。
不一样的地方是两性关系的设定不再刻板狗血，反而都是活生生有自己想法的独立人格人，每个年龄段都是。
还有老乌那罗马的爱情神话，韵味的画作和结局，十分的浪漫主义。
我相信老乌和索菲亚·罗兰的故事，老乌在《The Soldier's Sweetheart》的悠扬乐声中离开了上海，回到了他心心念念的罗马，他会再一次遇见索菲亚·罗兰，与她一起喝街头咖啡，一起看费里尼的《爱情神话》，重新谱写属于他们的爱情神话。
看上去老白是最软弱、好说话的那一个，但是他是选择最坚定的，从头到尾都知道自己想要什么。
是一出轻松的爱情小品。人只有在面对自己时，真正表达自己时，才会有真正的深度。而男人看女人，女人看男人，其实都不会那么深刻，显现的还是表象的状态。其实没有人是白纸，也不会有人是透明的。人是理性情感混杂的动物，有的人简单点，有的人复杂点，口是心非是常态，大家都有自己内心的秘密，没有谁能被一眼看透。

是你的态度
并不是宣传话语中的女性视角，而是有意无意地对标了《老炮儿》。当然上海没有北京老炮儿，上海有的是上海爷叔。该片面子是上海闲话的讥诮凉薄和市井人情，里子是两个老男人的春梦。比较难得的是并没有对所谓上海腔调真的沾沾自喜，而是用一种善意的调侃演绎了人到中年的苍凉，在嬉戏自嘲中流露了一抹深情，上一次有类似观感的影片还是伍仕贤的《独自等待》。
沉闷，没剧情，没演技。1.0星。一堆人说年度华语前三，我也会说，近几年的华语电影我基本一部不漏，这是我今年打过的最低分。
被以沪语为噱头看了一场中年文艺逼群像，另外无论是他们的男女关系还是房子过户问题都应该上新老娘舅，马伊琍的上海话是最搭僵的，喜欢上海市井烟火气奉劝去体验一下天天倒痰盂下雨天蛇虫百脚的日子免得受电影和武康大楼的骗

这是一部闯空门的电影，本身就有存在的价值。一星主要扣在音乐上，多，腻。看的时候一直在想两个问题。问题一，上海到底是谁的上海；问题二，老白到底是谁的老白。本片都没有回答，这是比较高明的。
