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.
总分三星6.5分
8/10.
前半段的年代爱情跟后半段的带点奇幻色彩的对生死的思考有些太割裂了，感觉有些没有抓住重点。
分几个时间线拍，但是又不明显，所以这两天我看了两遍。灾难后的次生问题更加隐秘可怕，其实站在不同的角度和立场，这都是场悲剧。
看哭。
阿部宽的作用就是养眼和鸡汤输出，沉默大叔忽然爆发暖心言论太吓人了，小跟班都要晕过去。是不是只有日本人能把集体性巨大创伤和社会灾难拍得这么细微又温暖，恐怖程度X2）
割裂感严重的一部电影，前后反差之大，我虽然看不懂，但我大受震撼
电影本身，无力自救要活活饿死的人，有心行善又铁了心钻进制度笼子，相信宏大愿景而无视眼前具体的伤痛的人，明明讲的是这么让人无力、值得反思的事情，最后的最后啊，却偏是落在阿部宽对佐藤健说“谢谢你想过要救他”，然后两人如获救赎般看看海…
导演无论怎么瞎说
我好爱好爱这个故事，无论有多少槽点，都不妨碍我好爱这个故事。这样的爱情永远能戳中我，就是哪怕兜兜转转一辈子，哪怕一直没能在一起，但我永远爱你。
笑着拉着的我的手
略科幻还是奇幻？总之是有些超前于当下认知的。但，感情细腻却也是真。过王萌萌的执着，让人不禁唏嘘；郭小鲁和苏凌芳的纠缠也让人唏嘘，苏凌芳的命运更是如此....刚开始的电影，还以为要讲八九十年代科学家们的奉献精神，后来才发现，想表达的是生命意义层面的东西。
看名字我以为是返老还童，结果先看了十分钟旁边配画面儿童剧，然后就是复古风甜蜜蜜但比甜蜜蜜差十万八千里，两个人物毫无灵魂，尤其王传君，结尾去搞干细胞都快给我整笑了，这是完全不值得拍出来的一部戏，只有烂尾缝针那段有点小趣味，但，竟然能做到和主题毫无关系
一般套路 懂得都懂😂 情感满分 剧情。。。 林老师也救不了
不知道说什么。对我来说，有一些特别感觉吧。
議題好，可惜劇情中段之後走了下坡......探討的不夠深入與留下刻意尷尬的結尾。
佐藤健这部怎么回事？全场枪毙鬼打扮颜值哪能介高？而且色气杀气拉满，真正被剑心五部曲耽误了。(羡慕戏里老阿姨好一把抱住佐藤健!)
311伤痛文学 可你们有些问题就算没地震也会存在不是么
最有槽点的就是最后开车撞货车还有苏和郭见面
这种题材的犯罪片，如果让韩国人来拍，估计能上8分。
