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.
这种人社会里有不少，可惜能冒尖的真是凤毛麟角；有人为他树碑立传，也不枉他人世走一圈了。
tick tick boom
无论是情绪还是叙事节奏都乏于变化，可谓扁平
【B+】
乔纳森35岁就离开这个热闹又残酷的世界了，莫扎特也是这个年龄去世。痛苦确实能催生好的艺术，坚持梦想本就是非常难的事情吧！边看边想为什么加菲和石头姐要分手啊，石头姐因爱乐之城获得奥斯卡最佳女主，希望加菲能靠这部成为今年的最佳男主吧！没想到加菲能唱能弹能跳的～本身对这种题材不太感冒，加之故事没有太大戏剧性，不过就像那位经纪人说的那样，写你知道的事情，对啊，发生的真实的事情足已有很大魅力了～感谢这些不断革新的艺术家，让我们有好看的好听的可以去体味
近期处于对加菲的少年感重新上头的时期 看什么都不重要...
昨天喝醉了，迷蒙中我写下了这么一句话——“我还能有艺术的感知力吗？我不想丢失，我想痛哭，我想为它而死去”，看完这部电影之后我想我大概不会丢失。艺术是黯淡的星光，艺术是爆裂的花火，艺术也许是唯一的一条捷径，让你离真实的自己越来越近。
本片是林-曼努尔·米兰达的导演处女作，可以看做是不那么浪漫的《爱乐之城》。
不应该叫tick tick boom，应该叫tear tear boom！简直催泪弹一般的存在！加菲贡献出了极精湛甚至有些灵魂附体一般的演技，无怪乎国外有人给出的评论是今晚没有看到加菲，而是看到乔纳森拉尔森回到了人间待了两个小时！观看此片的时候，桑德海姆也离世了，了解到桑德海姆虽然并不看好拉尔森的作品类型，但是对他不懈坚持的精神还是大加赞赏的，觉得拉尔森就差那么一点儿运气，晚去世两天，就可以亲眼见证自己的成功，见证自己改变了当代USA音乐剧的表现形式！要我说拉尔森就是被自己的矜矜业业全力以赴不放过任何一个锻炼自己作曲能力的要强精神给累着了！此外喜欢磕cp的也满足了，毕竟两个现在分道扬镳的前情侣都演了音乐剧电影。还有就是这片是真宽街团建，肉眼可见好多熟面孔！催人泪下，值得一看！
天才、纽约、梦想、年龄、资金、爱情、（同性、艾滋……是些看起来都老套得不行的关键词。可当电影用音乐剧的形式去讲述一个音乐剧作家时，这一切都变得好看起来。音乐真好！（加菲好帅哦～
低于预期，可能豆瓣人均百老汇百事通吧，一部以音乐剧为题材的电影如果旁人觉得不好听或者有壁，就已经会掉分了，我比较俗，爱乐之城马戏之王我都看了三遍以上，这部最戳我的反而是larson30岁即将到来却自觉一事无成的焦虑，同样接近30却一事无成的我看的很有代入感，加菲的表演也十分精彩，让影片不至于太看/听不下去
有趣，可爱，伤痛但幸福。竟然有几个镜头可以和lll联动，梦回加菲石头cp（dbq，我走偏了
我依然被这部电影打动了
百感交集。对宽街和NYC的爱，林漫威永远能表达得到位。Rent是在我刚到纽约的第二个月结束了长达12年的演出，很遗憾没能看到。但教授和房东都安利过，加上看了各种视频，所以四舍五入就算看过了，当然影片中并没有太多关于Rent的着墨，而聚焦于Jonathan Larson。剧情节奏把握得很好，一直都有秒针在倒数的感觉。创作，生活，恋爱，哪一件事又不是在倒数呢？明天随时可能失去一切，唯有当下必须抓住。
其实我先看了倒数时刻的音乐剧，然后完全没看进去…这个改编已经很强了，Sunday那首歌全是彩蛋。顺便赞同那句人人都爱Sondeheim（跑偏了。我最最最感动的应该是最后那段电话留言，真的是Sondheim自己录好了发给LMM的，哭了
银幕和舞台的玩法很难兼容，还是放回舞台上吧……
太感动了，歌好听，情绪也很饱满，加菲尔德值得一个奥斯卡影帝提名！另外，他永远是最好的蜘蛛侠。
这么点破事拖了两小时，歌挺好听的
11-19 期待多时，看完之前的纪录片之后，对于jonathan也稍微多了一点了解，影片是及格的，因为好像也没有超出预想该有的样子，但是至于该什么样，我也不知道。加菲的演技，还是给我一副之前看过他在社交网络里这样讲话的感觉。最好看的还是最后字幕出来时jonathan本人的影像，演奏音乐的时候的快乐，日常的生活里透露出的乐观和积极
Movie of the year. A blessing for any theatre/musical lover or idealist. Story about 90s, Broadway, New York, creativity, love, fear, time, and life. Don’t mind Lin’s rusty directing, the emotions are so raw. R.I.P. Stephen Sondheim, who passed away just after the release of this film. We all have, and will always have a song unsung.
