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.
之前給盆友說：好煩明天要去公司開會，被吐槽真是‘後疫情時代’了，因為在宅辦公已經快2年⋯踢皮球這事哪國都有啊⋯總覺得大事件更應該從‘小人物’身上去著眼，比如xx晴先生的「文x受難⋯850人紀錄」，隨便一個故事就能令我覺得善良限制了我的想像。（只能說到這了（x 一星➕給我的戀愛少女jodie 2021.12.27 in.Tokyo
听到朱迪的利物浦口音，瞬间被拉回在利物浦学习生活的那段时间，想念
前半部分打了三颗星，从那老爷子新冠开始女孩打求助电话开始不一样了，小景别手持的压迫感令人窒息
《草叶集》里有一幕金敏喜对着花盆笑，这部在结尾安排金敏喜捧着花束唱结婚进行曲，想狠狠踹翻这碗狗粮。看《独自在夜晚的海边》时感慨金敏喜的演艺道路似乎已经被洪困住了，但千金难买她愿意，双向奔赴拦不住，作为围观者只能祝福她。喝酒聊天戏还是洪氏出品的最舒服，整体感觉确实比以前松弛轻盈了很多。
看了挺难过的，这是西方世界的悲哀还是东方世界的赞歌？影片的角度很小很真实，没有任何政治倾向，只是在疾呼：别忘了我们，我们还活着，我们需要帮助。这是我最感同身受的。对于新冠带来的恐惧和压抑，电影的描述和浸入程度要远远超过明灯下东方世界电影里的场景；对人物的描写以及演出，也比东方世界里那种样板戏式的模样更能感染人。
Jodie演得颇自然真实。当你又老又病，就是逐渐被社会淘汰的时候，无论你过去有什么丰功伟绩或只是平凡人一个。社会反映的往往就是最现实的，何况大家要面对的是非一般病毒……尽量自救好过等援助。
有些人就嗯吹吧，我寻思中国养老院也没被zf抛下不管吧？真要觉得我国防疫也烂，那你嘤爹也还是赢不了啊，真要觉得我国不允许拍这种电影，那你得先让zf执政能力低下，然后再制造点事实基础呗，总不能胡编乱造吧？
最后五分钟的欧尼和一分钟的彩色把我有如被欺骗的迷茫感拉回来了一点
ou确实是无法分清开头更好还是结尾更好的电影啊！还是结尾更好吧！像蝴蝶一样的电影，扑腾的翅膀经过，只留下气味在空中。
剧情有一点无聊，镜头有一点难受，但是大英帝国的演员怎么业务能力都可以这么精湛
好好看哦，我也喜欢洪的电影陪我待着，聊天。一度眼睛要瞎掉了，但难掩内容的好。他们俩好相爱啊，金在最后的镜头里纯洁美好的像个小孩子，他们的我爱你我爱你，是真的相爱才有的我爱你啊，好多好多的爱，这分明是一场婚礼。
结尾的公园，仿佛就是生活啊、世事啊，每经困顿，便用春日花束般治愈安魂。
与上海当下高度重合的电影，更加表现出此时此景绝不只有在3月上海疫情时才会发生，任何地方都会成为电影中的场景，任何地方也都会成为3月的上海。人类在大环境下始终是渺小的个体，纵观历史大事件、灾难、战争，从无个人利益高于国家的可能。个人视角永远无法看到全局，每一个人都只是一个人，每一个人也都只能以自己的身份角色去思考问题，站得越高才能看见越多。庞大的需求量是导致援助供不应求的主要原因，任何事以“不公平”来判定始终是没有语境没有因果的片面认知。危机之中能够扛下去熬过去的人只是多了一点运气，所以自救远比就地等待援助更重要。

2020年2月24号，疫情最严重的时候，我曾客观地写下：
前大半内容我愿意给4星的，从看护院的角度看新冠，表现了小人物面对新冠的焦虑和崩溃等等都很优秀。但是从他们跑出看护院以后的剧情就感觉很突兀，就非要来点感情戏……jodie的演技我真的没话说，结尾的那段独白真的很厉害，这部戏所有人的演技都在线，就这个剧情，我不理解……
特别喜欢电影最后，拿着花的人，发自内心的笑容，然后电影忽然黑白变成彩色，风拂面。满满的幸福，溢出屏幕，风声，呼呼的。金喜敏，你好美！
3.6分。
柏林银熊 洪非常在线的自我重复 金敏喜好美 这份爱情我感受得到 但我还是觉得她应该有更广阔的天地 “天色尚早 但很快就会暗下来 趁着白日漫漫 让我们一起散步吧”
我们无力对抗病毒，我们亦无力对抗政权，即便我们是对的。在灾难面前，能够独立思考，能够勇敢守护的好人确实不多了，他们拼尽全力想要保护身边的人，但有权力的人可能只要动一个手指就会摧毁一切。也许和病毒比，居心不良的人更可怕。电影把面对新冠与死亡的窒息感拍的特别好，用整整20分钟处理了一段精彩的表演。好人是伟大的，祝好人平安。
