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.
吴越说99%都是按照剧本来演的，可见剧本有多扎实，而且不光扎实，还金句不断到处灵光，加持一批好演员，真是太好看。这才是喜剧该有的样子，高级的幽默，用场景和语言去做出来，不是用浮夸的表演和夸张场景设计出来的，但又不仅仅为了喜剧而喜剧，通篇充满了人情味。这部片子可以说是对上海这个城市最好的注脚了，就是那种从里到外的骨子里的高级感，人文情怀当然还有距离感，加上用上海话表演，更是妙不可言。这也才是上海应该有的“腔调”，我也看到了另外一种可能，既然港片用粤语，那种上海能不能出产更多的“沪片”
成年人的爱情点到即止，体面得小心翼翼。格洛瑞亚关上KTV门的那一瞬，仿佛能听到她心里的叹息。
更：看到这个评分估计是我误会导演了。
下半夜回家，在昏暗的楼梯被突然一阵水声吓得半死，转过头看到熟悉的大红色水桶，原来三楼又把那只乌龟放到家门口站岗……属于上海的烟火气啊，这也算其中一件吧～
一星给上海话，听着真是十分亲切，一星给三位女演员，一星给最后那一幕。这部电影按上海话说就是蛮灵的，但请男演员做好身材管理，我不想看三个女人围着猪头三转。
费里尼的魂灵不但以文字图画的形式飘逸各处，倪虹洁在KTV见徐峥那一段，更有费式歌剧般磅礴的怪异欲念（两个女人和徐峥谈画展的光影布局也是）。孤男寡女，徐峥追逐马伊琍只是推进故事的动因，倪虹洁和周野芒的老乌才是这部电影的精神（老乌和索菲亚罗兰的故事应该取材自北京慈善大亨李春平），只不过他们一个在声称自己足够危险却在独处时收敛张扬，一个讲述自己的故事并为之心折却又推倒否认，遮掩真实免得自己像个笑话，编导没停在那里自怨自艾，有闲有心情的中年友谊才显得动人，徐峥和周野芒闹矛盾，足足用了一组镜头表示他们不愿见面，片尾一班朋友看老乌不愿触碰的《爱情神话》，一个个昏昏欲睡中主线剧情的心电图恢复跃动，这是对这段友谊最好的祭奠了。几个出人意料的转折处理的顺滑（比如儿子的性取向），音乐、调度等环节都有巧思，看得舒服
不虐心，不狗血，不作不装，平淡得似乎什么都没发生，却时刻感受到风平浪静下的暗流涌动，很高级。喜欢这种上海独有的弥漫着咖啡味儿的烟火气，喜欢这里每一个孤独而有趣的灵魂，审慎，睿智，豁达，欲言又止，这才是给成年人看的爱情电影。
太灵了，台词设计的非常的巧妙，配乐是看着看着拿出手机来听歌识曲的地步。以及倪虹洁太好看了点
非常智慧有趣的轻喜剧爱情片，轻盈洒脱，机锋暗藏；描摹人情世态，臧否两性话题。如江南精致小菜，甜酸适口，淡有余味。我的年度惊喜华语电影之选！
全中国也就只有上海人还能负荷这个程度的精神世界了。没有精神世界的人是没有爱情的，更没有爱情神话。
猜猜在座的各位谁才是真正的文艺中年？想必巴黎人也自愧弗如。假如郭敬明真如其所愿地是个上海人会操一口流利的上海话，他会不会也像剥削费里尼一样剥削王家卫呢？（啊，原来人家早就开始剥削莎士比雅了啦！
8/10。看完后忍不住拍手称赞“灵足”！它的存在让中国电影有了新的可能性。全沪语的日常对话让上海风情在举手投足间肆意流淌，导演在致敬费里尼的过程中做得最好的一点就是拍活了一个城市。同时，它的笑点是高级的，女性形象再也不是固化的了，甚至男性形象都呈现出丰富性。每个演员都散发着魅力，三人美术馆的交锋戏让人拍案叫绝。市井与艺术、神话与日常，是可以相互融合、相互转化的。在真与假之间，我们寻着喷泉，睡倒在电影院，穿越大半个世界，构造出自己的爱情神话。
不谈主义与价值观，则前半部是好戏，后半部在凑合。但一部现实主义基调的作品，从人设到剧情却都不现实，何不架空现实呢，就跟现在吹捧上海防疫如何精准一样，片中的上海不知道加了多少层滤镜甚至意淫，确实是“神话”。再者，女导演创作、女演员主演、迎合女性观众的电影不等于女性主义电影，相反，本片男权意识根深蒂固，不提示的话我还以为是男导演拍的。
G先生真没B先生这么busy[捂脸][捂脸][捂脸]
瑕已掩瑜。有那么些特别和亮点，比如说有关“谁是主角”这个问题其实我挺喜欢的。但是整体来说，整部电影的“姿态”让人特别难受，有一种骨子里的骄傲在睥睨影迷，cue费里尼的方式一点也不高明，更谈不上致敬了，整个本子都是点状而非线性的，都是散落的梗而不是连贯的递进，从很多段落能感受到导演的“野心”和“品味”，也穿插了不少热闹的段子，但是，到底在表达什么呢？或者说，自己的表达有多少呢？姿态是一种表达吗？
这是个什么片子啊为什么会这么高分 吐了 完全看不懂要表达啥 明明是个国语片结果全程看字幕 累死了 脑袋疼
《李小姐的高跟鞋》《她相好的就是北方人》《我编的》…维斯·安德森之后迎来伍迪·艾伦，中年男人的爱情与家庭碎一地…总之，恭喜徐峥老师找到全新口碑密码。
这个电影微妙的地方在于，它既是生活更是想象，比现实更浪漫。如果方言换成标准普通话，那肯定不能这么出彩。导演的镜头调度、演员分寸拿捏都恰到好处，看似平淡的剧情却华彩频出。电影中的许多场景我都去过，跟朋友们虚度许多时光，站在老乌给老白找的第一个展览空间面前说：“XXX和XXX最爱在这个地方办展览，因为场地免费。”这是外地人的上海想象与上海本地人的市井面貌的完美嫁接，所以电影并非上海文化的还原或推广，而是对上海生活之期待的具象化。
为老白和老吴这对朋友，大多数人一生真称得上朋友的，也就那么几个人，抑或就一个，也可能一个都没有。
