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.
第3338-会让人想到印度电影《第15条》和韩国的《辩护人》，也让我想到大学回老家碰见jc局的领导和地痞一起在歌厅唱歌。
印度电影老生常谈了，也不是第一次直面国情制度等等，未来还是期待更多年轻化视听语言的印度电影吧。
三星半。不能给太多，怕太骄傲。比较商业片，非常努力让观众能看懂。胜在题材承担着足够的社会性，选角也极具魅力。但是还是逃不过印度片比较夸张的表达方式，还是不太符合个人审美。
印度真是一个恐怖的国家啊，但勇敢的是可以把恐怖的一面展现出来。0110-午
为了正义，为了真相。很难想象要是没后台在印度这么伸张正义有多难。
选题十分有价值，拍摄技法娴熟，艺术性欠佳，有存在意义，但有碍于时代和文化，以及过于啰嗦的剧情，除了结尾部分外，观赏价值不高！
制作上其实不算很精良
不得不说越来越多的印度电影和电视剧出现在我们的视角里了，有些电影真的值得我们导演和编剧学习。
这部片子和孟买酒店深刻让我认识到了印度警察。种姓、母性、人性。
相当流畅的叙事手段，在印度电影里难能可贵，归根还是人物肖像片，社会性表达欠奉，关于暴力机关执法过度的问题是世界性话题，本片囿于一笼，没有过多延展，手法也过于老套，好似旧社会讽刺批判剥削阶级一样。
低种姓演员的本色出演！苦难使他们不需要演技！给了观众好的结局，让我们对世界对人还抱有希望，但黑暗的现实仍在继续，低种姓和贱民仍然活得不像人！这个奇葩的国度！
他们放走毒蛇与幼鼠，不会拒绝别人的求助，
只说那些配角。这大概是我看过的印度电影里，肤色最黑，样貌最丑，形态最底层的一群演员了，很怀疑他们就是本色演出。许多表情，眼神，肢体形态，职业演员也模仿不出来，猜测是低种姓的群众演员。而印度职业演员有种说不出的拿腔作势，尤其是主角，一看就是高种姓的，骨子里那种无法掩饰的骄傲与“正义感”。
印度版的《辩护人》？1995年背景，没有人权的低种姓部落，数代都是饱受歧视的“不可接触者”，拿不到居住证、游离于社会之外，可以被随意安上罪名被捕入狱虐待殴打，真的太惨了哎哎哎，女主痛苦的演技到位，恨得我想把那几个黑警扒皮抽骨
别当假国际粪青了吧，欣赏的是电影，不是UC新闻。
这样一部反映现实主义题材的电影，引发共鸣。种姓制度下的印度社会，在简陋的警察局里被严刑拷打，甚至因此死去生命，他们三人也未曾奋力反抗，只是一遍又一遍的重复他们未曾偷盗的事实。
“伊鲁拉人直到今天仍因虚假指控而被监禁。”PS：这似乎是印共（马）拍的电影，钱德鲁律师似乎是一位共产党员。另外因此去了解了一下印共，真是让人刮目相看。8
比较套路的印度电影，教育意义大于电影艺术。最大的亮点是几位男性受害者的表演，刑讯那一段绝了。
高水平快手正能量大电影哈哈。主角自始至终帅气高大上圣人人设略烦，好在有趣的是片子把人物弧光给了一个督察，对主角来说有了个由敌变友，对手惺惺相惜的过程，观感zer一下就上来了。其他的些许套路，反派没有强和坏，只有蠢，这点上不如一些同类型的韩片做的压迫感强和观感好。整体还是成熟好看的，受用
警暴、底层、种姓、正义、司法……容纳了太多的社会议题。调度规整、推进有力，印度社会派佳作。
