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.
深圳人应该比较有共鸣，细节很用心，很贴近社会现实。
在潮汕元素基础上理想化了一些，潮汕元素也略显生硬，总体还行
去过的汕头糖水店，很怀念啊！
瑕不掩瑜！竟然很有台湾小成本剧情片的质感。
特别好，是看了很多中国电影都没有见过的好。细腻，真实，又哭又笑。
很有感觉，虽然并不是潮汕人，但着实喜欢这种土里土气的风格，就跟看《雄狮少年》喜欢那些滲透着地方杂味的配乐一样，是嘹亮的嗓子冲散污浊的世间的一刻，因为没有流于通俗，而保留着其小众的美…
最后在飞机上的那一段看哭了，是真实的紧张。妈妈也很勇敢啊，当年也来深圳做过生意，拉扯3个孩子长大，自己在老家开店生意兴隆，还要负责家里的一日三餐，拜神求神。只是迫于生计，一直没出去玩过。不愧是潮汕的女人，太能干了。
很欢乐的片子，中文字幕的感觉，因为是潮汕话。就整体水准来说，是有很大提升空间。但关键是素人演出的真实感强啊👍。真实的剧情，真实的演出，真实的生活，真实的情感。潮汕浓厚的家族文化，面对外省人的矛盾与冲突，和我们东北乡村爱情故事有异曲同工之处，所以我看得很有家味。“传统”是会带来保守和排外的感觉，但同时也是外省人心之向往和羡慕的温暖感、亲情味。拍片不多，想要体验欢乐+亲情的人，尽快去看吧。
很真实，也很温暖 最近特别喜欢这种淡淡的情感剧本 很高兴听到好久以前喜欢过的宝藏乐队玩具船长的音乐 ~
带着离过婚的女朋友回家见家长的故事
坐飞机那段神来之笔，让我跟女朋友大受感触，大半夜的想带自己妈妈去坐飞机
特别好，是看了很多中国电影都没有见过的好。细腻，真实，又哭又笑。
整体电影结构清晰 故事简单 潮汕话微电影添彩 现在讲故事的电影太少 讲的清楚的更是沧海遗珠 所以整体不错值得去看
PS：虽然有字幕，但是真的没法翻译出潮汕话的精髓啊哈哈哈哈哈
透过离婚标签看到具体生动的人🌟看完电影想来一盘麻叶喝碗番薯粥
一星给汕头的一切 比韩寒拍的更细和真实 钟少贤演得很好
故事剧情不复杂
挺有意思的。这个我应该没有什么共鸣的题材我居然哭了。有点感人啊。
一直称呼女主“外省”太不尊重人了吧，人家没名字吗，受不了
寸头、电梯里的衣架的隐喻都不错，母亲背负了来自传统的多大包袱
