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.
用电视剧的节奏来拍电影，当然还是差意思的。智叔rip。
两星半，有点小悬疑的tvb网络大电影,只不过剧情的解密过程有些草率，方中信气质很可以啊，陈家乐很帅。
其實也沒那麼爛啦！對白比較白痴而已，方中信加一星🥰
正义的学费很贵嘛，代价是一张空头支票，随便填。推翻了爱民党，下一个是爱什么党呢？
好平淡如水的香港律政片。。。唯一要说的是，如果凶手杀的不是富商的女儿，这个案子是不是就真的成了冤案了，有钱就真的可以为所欲为呗？
剧情本身的悬疑色彩较弱，对于如今的观众来说，30分钟内猜到凶手毫无难度。但是本片当然也不会是将重点放在这里，而是从无数庭辩剧就一直讨论的话题，“法律到底是不是在维护正义？”律师是要维护公平和正义，还是要为当事人争取最大权益？”这个话题我早已有答案，也许每个人都有答案。
故事讲的拖拖拉拉的，明明设定还不错但是整体却没有明显的跌宕起伏。角色和角色之间的冲突也太平淡了，论专业知识也没有摆出来几条证明主角的能力，有种读到了作者很有野心但是知识储备量特别不足的小说的感觉。
这叫打官司吗？最后就是说服有钱老板舍弃利益集团把谋杀自己女儿的真凶绳之以法的故事啊！换个没钱没权的试试？
平平淡淡的剧，看开头猜结尾系列。常规港片套路，各位演员演技在线，传播正义传播正能量人人有责
20211030亥时看完，简直像极了香港电影的缩影，垂死挣扎但毫无效果，还学会了人家的喊高调口号，垂朽矣！
勉勉强强勉勉强强的，能看完，中半段好一点点，前后都差两口气，整体制作，主创，演员都太淡了

很不错的片子，这个世界做什么都需要手段。。
可以做到只手遮天
正义、金钱和亲情的博弈，题材很好，可惜冲突部分拍的太弱了，最后，怀念智叔，哎。
老演员越来越少了
三颗星全部给方中信在片尾的一段辩论式的陈述。
剧情拍的太一般了，也就是看看戏骨们的表演。
现在的香港电影能讲明白一个故事就已经很好了，而且看来看去，还是20年前这些的这些演员才有看点。故事的最后争议战胜邪恶，不过也还是要靠金钱，也还是要靠一些under table的手段，正义才能战胜邪恶。很残酷，但是很现实。
脸皮薄的人，当不了“好”律师。不会忽悠的人，赚不了“大”钱………反正我做不到
