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.
本质是男主角的成长故事，剧本很工整地围绕了trauma和want，A B Story交缠。一开头还在想怎么好像有点松散慢热，后面看果然有勾连。依然喜欢这种小品电影，抓住小人物小事件，就讲感情。家人之间因自责和对彼此的抱歉而产生的疏离虽然老套，但依然好用。看完这个片子不禁觉得有时是因为太想跳出公式，反而做得不好，其实在工整基础上做好已经算成了大半。
竟然是根据真实事件改编的，不过过多的戏剧化情节降低了情感共鸣，再生活化细腻些会更好
2021-2022跨年夜的观影选择。题材蛮新鲜，姐姐和爸爸的几次反转设计也还不错，但结尾陷入了无止境的煽情，有点拖沓了。
剧情又狗血又温情又意料之中，但是不影响打动人。
催泪的点，温情的点我都懂，处理的也可圈可点，但是我就是想看男女主谈恋爱啊，不要看男主角老活在死去姐姐的影子里啊！哈哈哈哈
男女主的爱情做得太差，莫名其妙的。爸爸的表演和姐姐的设计很入人心，这个故事还能拍得更好
不知道是不是我的错觉，韩国电影里数学天才也太多了吧…是个温馨煽情的小故事没错了
摄影也很垃圾，大量曝光过度，简直是灾难。
林允儿真好看啊
淦又被韩国人搞哭了 这个导演好细腻啊 看到中间了才恍然大悟 然后从头看一遍 朴正民除了不像个男高中生之外演得挺好的 林允儿又演了个无脑花痴 这部片的女主应该是姐姐吧 初恋完全可有可无 姐弟情 父子情 贯穿全片的车站 就是搞不懂韩国为啥80年代了还有这么杀人的铁路 可以夸的地方太多了 庆尚北道的方言好生猛
扮演姐姐的李秀卿演得真不错。
日韩电影能把细腻的心理拍出来；“罗熙”这样的妹子不好找了。
爱情线很可爱，亲情线很伤感。别扭的爷俩因为心里藏了太多的悲伤和自责而不断推开对方，害怕自己变得幸福，害怕一不小心就原谅了自己。
前半段亲情诠释得不错，后面就双脚离地了。男女主CP感好弱，仿佛看到四郎和瓜六谈恋爱。
爱情线清新明快，姐弟线太好哭了，列车员问朴正民是不是马上升高中了的时候我看着朴正民那张中年人的脸笑死了，后半段父子和解略有点冗杂
男主太老相了。
一个心怀宇宙，也为家乡修火车站的男人。中间的反转没有预料到，略好哭😭整体可看性还是很高
剧情人设，情感处理，拍摄手法都是如此。当然，这个题材还是挺好的，被“铁路”“乡村”“林允儿”及清新的色调吸引进来看了。没成想里面还大有文章。爱情线不如里头的亲情线。魂魄姐姐的陪伴和鼓励，结尾恍然醒悟吐露心声的爸爸，是影片比较大的看点吧。允儿是富家千金的人设挺乐呵的，前半个小时陪着男主各种有趣电子见总统很欢乐。有些拖沓和冗长了，加上一些无厘头的剧情有点减分。修车站的事竟然能靠男主和众多父老乡亲就完成？结尾父亲痛哭流涕地道明缘由演的超级好。父亲从不曾正眼看过儿子，实则是愧疚及逃避。魂魄姐姐的陪伴及开导，对男主的人生产生了很重要的作用。爸爸和姐姐的演技在这部片都超棒。
前半段是学生时代甜甜的初恋，富家女一往情深的爱上了聪明的穷小子。后半段是人穷志不穷的小伙子，为了内心的愧疚、为了邻里出行的方便与安全，以一己之力建造一座火车站的励志温情故事。有的人，因为爱，被困在了时间之中，也只有爱，才能让他重新走出去。
很多泪点，动人，但是为啥韩国列车建设这么不合理？为了省钱吗多开一条路不就不死人了
