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.
最不可思议的地方在于真就正儿八经讲了个故事，而且真就一本正经地表达男性力量？开始还觉得有点戏谑，慢慢地感觉好像认真了。如果说有所表达的话，值得说的唯有把人物宿命的来源归结为血脉情结的幻相-家族树。整体来看，除了表达有所欠缺，还是有诸多令人折服的优点：叙事节奏流畅，画面赏心悦目，调度出众，摄影、调色、灯光也相得益彰，质感不俗，绝对是更适合大银幕观看的作品。
中世纪味道基本靠脏。不难看也不好看，就是…看着挺花钱的。
女武神一段 和 地狱门一段 其他看不下去
用舞台风格还原愚昧和闭塞，在极小的能改变命运的空间里，处于知识和文明底层的人最强有力的精神力往往来自信仰，或者迷药，或者这两样结合... 每次看这位导演的作品我都信了一种玄学。我觉得他很虔诚。[合十]
7分，节奏缓慢，又隐忍克制，蛮屌的片子，故事概念...挺...环保的，还行，
其实所有游牧民族 部落风情的电影 都是王子复仇记 狮子王 的故事大纲 only the scenes and the leads can make them outstanding unfortunately not this one. Anya looks beautiful but not viking enough.
话剧质感，卡司强大，风景原始，基本上是写实北欧那时候的野蛮残酷生活了，还有些神叨叨，树的画面美到窒息，残暴的画面也是极度舒适。剧情简单，不过，内容有血有肉。连着把北欧几个国家走完，我是真的不喜欢北欧，骨子里就野蛮没文化，如今也就是仍旧贫困的暴发户啊，挪威风景很美。看到最后发现是北欧版《王字复仇记》，真真大悲剧!安雅太好看了! 特效真的太美了，最后王子复仇了，还变成了神灵？
暴力神棍版王子复仇记，完全就是想象中的样子，没有惊喜，比较无感。全片最让人意想不到的大概是这种大制作里居然能看到那么粗糙那么丑的CG画面吧
还怕缘悭，不忍分离人世间~ahhhh
玩过《刺客信条：英灵殿》，倍感亲切。
北欧版王子复仇记。 前面还行，后面索然无味。
3.5星，个人蛮喜欢的，说故弄玄虚，节奏慢或者剧情老套的建议就别看此类片子了，不在你的阅片范围和审美体系里，建议少看
完全达到预期的一部片，并且超过同类型的《绿衣骑士》。提前预定2022年十佳不成问题。老婆很美。
最喜欢开篇部分，对话中诗一样的台词，太新颖了，气势恢弘，加之史诗题材，气质拿捏太绝了，太有风骨了。但一到复仇一段，就变成了好莱坞式的沧桑史诗与意乱情迷，太可惜了。最喜欢的是那句，命运是写好的，无论如何不要恐惧。哪有什么蛊惑，自己选择的命运罢了。巫师的骂名就跟美人祸国一样，无能者的托辞。
出影院时路过一个瑞典人听到的评价。
另：相对于前作《灯塔》，这部因获得了更高的预算而趋于保守（同类案例数不胜数，个人不是很在意）
少产出点流水线傻逼viking片吧，栽了多少个导演了，连nwr那部屁股毛都摸不到
歌剧不像歌剧，剧情却又稀烂的套壳北欧哈姆雷特记，完全没有任何的改编，有的只是自以为是的大段唠叨。妮可·基德曼是唯一吸引人的看点，无奈整体拉垮，独木难支
Hamlet式主线剧情真的玩不出什么新花样了，在北欧神话民俗已经快被好莱坞用烂的现在也实在没拍出太大新意。作为冰岛旅游宣传片目的达到了（想去看火山😢
北欧史诗，灰调荒原，成人仪式，近战肉搏。一个男人要杀伐多少部落才能从一条狗变成一个人？
