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.
千言万语汇成一句踏马的。太太太太太疼了。全程围着女主转的镜头视角代入感非常强，几次堕胎片段跟着生理疼痛，第二次直接不自觉地咬紧了牙。最可怕的是，虽然看似合法化了，但片子中这件事背后的一切，都“正发生”。
自始至终镜头面对女主，写实到令人害怕，每一周的煎熬，堵上性命的流产，一路孤单的少女，的确是正发生。
一种只会攻击女性的病，把女人变成家庭主妇的病
这是一部恐怖片！一种只会缠上女人的病，一种把女人变成家庭主妇的病。
笑抽了，这种nt意淫结尾的片子居然也能有7.9，豆瓣小资不是一直喜欢把洗白挂在嘴边吗，评价掮客的时候用腻来形容(人家用了开放式的结局，也没像你们说得那样没有呈现复杂的社会关系，应该这么说精神白左的智商可能无法理解开放式结局到底是什么含义），怎么到这部片子光明结局的时候(而且还是明示的），就没见你们出来批判，说它有涂脂抹粉的地方，说好有大概率死亡的风险，怎么就女主那么幸运活了下来，还能参加考试😂，这种试图无脑站堕胎派的导演不值得多关注，当然你们蠢逼小资的话语本来就没有什么信服度，更不用说目前毫无可信度的豆瓣评分
对比四月三周两天，震撼上稍打折扣（大概是因为自己堕胎的部分，杨采妮的自梳给了我深刻的印象），精神折磨有过之而无不及。
几年来欧美各大电影奖项快被女权题材攻陷，这里面的确大都是佳作，然而总吃一道菜也未免腻歪，政治正确也得容人们喘口气吧。
賈靜雯演技呢？？？華語片這次真的太丟人了。
配乐，表演，镜头，剪辑都可圈可点。这个星球上的女性，遭受了太多。
信念 勇气 饥渴
这片看的恐怖效果十足，心理和生理上的疼痛感都传达的很好。女性生来具有的生育能力是不能被任何人反驳的，堕胎不意味着否定自己。法律要求的对生命负责所需要的条件对于年轻女性来说是苛刻和残酷的，这意味着在巨大的困难和压力下承担更多的痛苦的自我的人生和另一个生命，在现在社会制度中还未曾有这样的自发性去强制要求女性是不公平的。影片对于传达女性面对性与爱的困境和孤独感有不可化解的悲哀和无奈，这一点在对于人的孤独命题来说呈现的十分悲观。花费众多笔墨去呈现的生理的痛苦还有巨大社会压力的焦虑的作用下一个首先作为人的女性的生存困境是非常无助的。男性在恋爱关系中体现的轻浮和自私的形象很尖锐，所有的痛苦和后果女性来承担，男性只需要有乐子的时候享受就好。太恐男了。可悲的是面对糟糕的人与人之间的关系却没有人可以逃离。
赶巧前脚看了《忍者宝宝》，后脚看了本片。一夜情怀孕和非婚怀孕有区别吗？在一些人眼里有，在一些人眼里没有，恰如意外怀孕后处理方式上的不同和各执一词。性是男女双方的权力，而堕胎的不安和焦虑、苦痛却几乎完全由女性来承担。在这件事上无论男女都必然会进入对女性关注关怀和关爱的视角，这是她们的主场，我们是认真聆听的观众。遗憾的是目前看起来仍然无解。
既视感比起《四月三周两天》抽搐刺痛得多，几个最痛的段落，让男生身临其境！
#SF film festival# 简单的故事，镜头语言和人物动作让人有很强代入感。为女性力量加一星
改編自法國知名女作家安妮艾諾 (Annie Ernaux) 的自傳《記憶無非徹底看透的一切》，片中殘酷而寫實的墮胎場面，再加上對於1960 年代的法國女性所背負的背負的道德與責任，做了生理上與心理上的雙重描繪，令人震撼！電影相當於作家Annie Ernaux本人的經歷；高齡82歲的Annie Ernaux經歷過60年代女性仍受桎梏無法自主與獲得應當的社會地位，乃至68年五月風暴後給予法國女性的解放。Diwan在改編Ernaux的作品時，保持作者低限、冷靜的敘事風格，令主角Anne置身於人群裡，卻被孤立於人群之外，既實驗也大膽。
导演的镜头美学是全篇最大亮点，利用镜头晃动和景深表现出了很多主角内在与外界的关系或态度，构图上缺乏相关的运用，主要通过演员与演员的距离来表现这方面。
我不希望这部影片广泛传播，但是又想让人直观的感受这恐怖。
一氣呵成，很平穩的捕捉女主角意外懷孕卻求助無門的心路歷程。女性非處女即蕩婦的封建守舊，如果懷孕是一種病，與同期看的《我的天才女友》互相對照。
生理上的疼痛是第一层，心理上的无助是第二层，社会上的冷漠是第三层。层层痛苦揭露了女性的脆弱
杀死那个孩子！堕落和堕胎同用一个“堕”字！
