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.
是枝裕和总是能轻易地把观众引到警察体制的对立面
虽然有主角团，警察，最后那对父母，共同携手抚养这个孩子，但用现实的脑子想想这都是极度不现实的，过于童话和魔幻了。
毫无进取心的是枝裕和，如果是步履不停是喜马拉雅那这部就已跌落太平洋了，“组合家庭”的套路、边缘化人物选取的造作、台词的庸常以及缺乏创见的主控思想所体现的懒惰，集中爆发、槽点遍布。猜有摩天轮那场戏，怕有摩天轮那场戏，真就有摩天轮那场戏。“要不要质疑抛弃孩子的女性的个人品质”“所有母性的本质一定是美好的吗”以及“我们要不要容忍不得已而为之的遗弃事件”等议题的探讨都是对常识的认知层面的一再重复。警察钓鱼执法转而让渡正义、自行成为中间商的假“掮客”同样是老生常谈。最令人不舒服的是浅尝辄止的对女性“堕胎权”的探讨。
3.5。一個換湯不換藥韓版《小偷家族》的概念。場面調度好得沒話說，敘事稍微有點拖。
水土不服的问题已经说烂了，但放到同是东亚文化语境下的韩国，比《真相》还是强一些的。
公费旅游吧…还不如自己把小偷家族再翻拍一遍
当妈之后人真的会变，以前看，第一反应肯定是是枝裕和又在重复自己、IU接不住戏、剧本太圣母太悬浮……现在是天可怜见的、哭死我了、太心酸了，电影看完了还在惦念两个孩子的命运。只想说，是枝裕和稳住了人类情感的基本盘。
have fun，谢谢你。IU确实不够分量，但是枝裕和元素还蛮有趣
跟小偷家族用的同一个营造假象的路数，只不过这次连人物动机都搞不清了，水土不服的破剧本找一帮名角加个偶像都撑不起台面
“拟似家族”模板套韩国演员，处处都能看出对演员表演的不自信，用各种镜头戏法掩饰关键段落的演员表演。剧作上给人物上了太多道德保险，用一堆“迫不得已”来妄求观众理解，可要知道情感真实这回事并不止于对白、段落的啊。所谓的“孩子”只是道具，“孩子的幸福”只是虚伪的道德崇拜，剧作越保守越背离情感。《晨曦将至》比它好一万倍。
有一点点过于童话了，特别是宋康昊和姜东元这两个男性角色。是枝裕和向来温暖，但前提是残酷现实的面前
平淡如水，波澜不惊。前面看的总出戏，后半小时才感觉是导演的味道。是枝裕和去韩国玩儿票的吧。
还是拍的有点无聊了，少了很多《小偷家族》那种社会议题的尖锐拷问，是枝裕和的温情其实应该建立在一个残酷的，两难的处境之上，这次拍韩语片这个弃婴题材本可以大作文章，但还是拍成了温情糖水片了，最后的感谢你出生有被感动到，宋康昊我觉得影帝拿的没有问题，他轻松自然的表演感觉非常舒服，没有刻意加戏卖弄，展现了一个成熟演员的水准。（5.5/10）
虽然所有的人设都非常的套路，但这样的人设也是在公众言论和政府管制双双更加自由的环境下，才能创作的比较复杂的人物，第5代第6代们都羡慕哭了，毕竟生长在这样的环境里，他们明明有更多更好的这类的故事可以拍。
在警察潜伏追踪途中，也看到了这一组临时家庭的默契与温馨，他们都有美好的结局。
故事太理想化了，刻意温情的预设投射的是美好愿望，相信人性中的善念，但那是空想的产物。影片还是探讨了一系列伦理和价值观的话题，这一点至少还是强于很多影片。但是在是枝裕和的作品序列里，我认为只算勉强之作。
确实是是让人失望的，这一作问题很大。最突出的问题是人物，两个男主作为人贩，太过圣母，如同童话人物般，最终结尾大叔杀人，小哥取义，都算不上很漂亮的弧光，或者说刻画过于粗糙，再比如那个孤儿院跟来的大孩子，可以说模糊异常，看不出这个人物加入的意义；人物的另一个大问题就是表演，当然导演应该是已经慕名集结了韩国最好的演员，但与对日本演员的理解和运用水准相去甚远，比起树木林希在厨房里边做家务边娓娓道来主题，这几个韩国演员的表演都可以说偏偶像化，IU早上起床也是有着淡妆，与女警撕扯那场戏真的看不出来是底层妓女的气急爆发，跟树木林希这样的顶级表演者相比落差实在太大。这次的主题是，孩子出生给家人带来快乐，但也给很多边缘人带来麻烦和担忧，主题探讨的深度和故事，其实感觉是OK的，只是单薄的人物无力支撑这份厚重。
还可以，就是这个日式风格放到韩国来拍总觉得有点不太契合。另外看到片尾字幕才发现是是枝裕和拍的，不然观影过程还会再认真一点。
整体制作水平相当高，CJ请来一众顶级班底为是枝裕和保驾护航。依旧是犀利的题材角度，优秀的演员加持，和《小偷家族》相比，多了柔情和直白，少了深度和刺痛，但不应该把这份“温柔”归结成“缺点”或者“不足”。用人性的美好在“肮脏世界”里说美好，这何尝不也是一种选择呢。黑夜天台的互相质问、动车上的隧道盖住话语、洗车间的片刻大笑、摩天轮上的含蓄表白和手掌遮眼...是枝裕和依旧贡献出不少令人回味的氛围和画面。在如此动荡的大环境里，这样一部过于“美好”的片子可能不太让大众接受，但也不应该否认它的价值和初衷。不忍苛责，静水深流。
全片唯一的泪点 就是冬秀听到那句 “感谢你出生”时的表情 然而我又没明白结尾自动送死是什么意义 2022.5.26 追着姜栋元去戛纳看的首映
