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.
我们该为欲望羞愧么？我们的身体属于我们自己么？
还好最后小静没有事
完全聚焦在女主本人的角度很好，特写近景拍的也很好。
全篇无全景镜头 四比三的选择非常妥帖 通过运动和控制焦点 景深 变焦一系列技术操作来实现信息量的控制 突然get到了 手持四比三偏纪实感的全部奥义
十数周的隐忍煎熬和三次反抗，女性在捍卫自己权利的同时付出了巨大的代价，社会舆论，违法边缘，自身事业的牺牲相较而言，身体的痛楚反而是最小的，然而却给予观众最直观的视觉和情感冲击。“只有女人才会得的病，它使她们变成家庭主妇”是最直白的控诉和抗议
镜头感很强，肩头的角度，一直是近景特写。转到正面构图又很周正，蛮棒
特定时代、特定制度下的一段堕胎史，对比《四月三周两天》，同样呈现了堕胎过程中的女性痛感，只不过少了体制性的批判，多了一些纯女性主义的关怀。
比起前作有了长足的进步，会长期关注导演后续的作品。
相比四月三周二天、从不很少有时总是、女人韵事、女性瘾者、燃烧女子的肖像里的打胎过程，这部更第一视角，相对沉浸，还有就是导演手下留情了。
B+ #CIBEMABIA# 电影以1.37:1的旧电视格式呈现，缩小了视野，并赋予故事真实性和生活感，Anne的怀孕周期随着时间的推移如同定时炸弹一样不断揪着观众的心，她试图阻止，并付出了代价。出彩的剪辑，使一系列景深和定焦的连贯镜头变得生动，特写镜头则密切地关注着安妮怀孕的身体、心理变化，捕捉这一过程并且赤裸裸的呈现出来，与Never不同的是，它全程都是冷冰冰的。我们大多数人做出的选择通常与社会接受度相符，但我们仍然希望在坚持自我后，被拥抱与接受，即使在精神上拒绝承认这一点，正如片名《正发生》，类似的事会将一直在我们身边上演，禁止不了的是人类的生理结构，而退一万步，社会能做的就只有接纳与照顾，但听闻德州实行的堕胎禁令，让人不禁想问，社会是否正在倒退？
很难评价，就电影本身而言惊喜不多，但主观切入人物的方式意味着自身被隔绝在无法切身体会的痛感之外，不仅是肉体层面，也是超越时空的性别结构压迫。短评区一些人气急败坏的样子倒是说明这种题材在何时何地、拍多少次都不嫌太多。
都在比四月三周两天，不如说更像从不很少有时总是，但节奏实在太温吞，上课考试啥的不如剪了吧。
得知对方怀孕就想着上床也没事的男的真的太恶臭了……（真的很难去直视这种屏幕内外同时上演的疼痛。
虽然新意不足，仍然能称得上杰作，只是时代感比较差，不知道是不是有意为之
很难不与《四月三周两天》对比，这部更温和、更坚毅、更多善意、更多女性间的互助。那句“这是只攻击女人的绝症，无差别地把所有人变成家庭主妇“是对制度对社会的质询，振聋发聩。任何关于abortion的电影都是痛的，看的时候让人坐立难安的痛，《四月》《从不很少有时总是》《女人韵事》甚至只作为支线的《烧女图》都会带来这样共通的感受。记住这种痛，要发声、要反抗，拒绝沉默。

倒霉催的看了个不知是板鸭语还是呆梨语的版本，应该原片是法语吧，反正整部片就觉得口型对不上听到的语言且配音痕迹极其严重极其情绪不到位，影响了整体质感。影片本身非常压抑和写实，几乎抛弃了剧情片的起承转合，对女主演技要求极高，不过她确实完成得很好。最近看了太多有关女性与生育的关系的片子，感觉越来越cynical了，劝自己心平气和
#法国文化中心#冷静客观的视角呈现，只不过在一众优秀的“堕胎电影”面前倒也显得平庸。

世世代代的女性都在无形或有形中被男权压迫，所以真的，Girls Help Girls，拜托了！！！
