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.
也许在印度，只有这种极端的方式才能让人们做出改变
前面悬念设置得越久，后面的真相就必须越具有说服力，犯案的动机立住了，最后的结果也是理想的。可现实的悲剧是，印度如今的局面绝对不只是体制的问题，寄希望于一两个牛人和国家领导人改变现状太过理想化，可不这样又有什么更好的办法呢？或许真的就只能通过电影寄托愿景了。
无论运镜，还是剧情推进，亦或是女主演技都属上乘，虽有些拖沓，但表达的内核传达的意义深远…
7⃣️就是字幕翻译得差了点儿。不知道会不会扩充为海外华人电影序列中的又一力作？
不过是一个并不高明的泄私愤而已，不过片尾的最后一句才是本片的中心思想（看影片这段期间全国已经有8名妇女被强奸！），本片是为了印度女性争取一些权益，引起政界关注。
一部印度乌托邦的电影，不过能拍出来就值5星了！
不知名的、没有歌舞的印度电影要慎看，更不能看到非专业人士的推荐就迫不及待地去看。前戏太长、反转来得太晚，导致观众一直停留在无聊、虚假的剧情中煎熬。中国人看估计不会产生太多的共鸣，该有的中国都有了，最近一次的记忆恐怕只有ps事件了。可以看到宝莱坞的电影朝着韩国化方向发展的趋势了。
戏剧一般的开始，过于理想化的结尾，无助但本质善良的女主，突然良心发现的探长。不知道现实中的🇮🇳🟤🌰是不是有在为了女性权益而如此努力，希望他们是真的在反思和进步。
8 women have been raped in our country.
呼喊印度女性地位的一部电影！印度电影现在很有正义大于法律，法律又是因一次次有情之人触犯而让无情变得更公正一些。
角色脸谱化严重（主角，同学，家人，企业），剧情浮夸尴尬（机器人破解安全设定违反阿西莫夫定律），几处转折十分生硬，传达出来的价值也经不起质疑——表面上将原本纯social的工具转换为带有更多自主意识的pet，实质上这种与pet的互动依然以人际分享为基础，内核不变。——总之不真实也不梦幻。
确实挺俗套，几乎没有悬疑，但就算电影技巧上没有做到最佳，它反映的现实意义还是不得不让我打四星，关于强奸受害者复仇、争取正义的电影，再多也不为过。至少人家还能拍出这样的电影，至少人家在电影里老百姓还真能和最上面面对面讲话呢。
“If I don’t ask, then they can’t say no.”
看到揭露事实的时候还是很心碎，结尾的三行字震撼过全片。
被高分吸引，看完心情很复杂。从电影角度来说拍的很普通。虽然没有歌舞但依然印度味十足，尤其拉近特写的镜头和一些细节处理。不是说印度味重就不好，而是过多重复的镜头语言以及不严谨的细节，拉低了整体电影的质感。
ps,这部电影中出现的印度女总理，强奸犯死刑，IC814事件均是真实发生过的，印度电影在纪念和反思历史，这真的值得学习，很有意义。
昔日仇人狭相逢，娜娜无奈绑幼童。总理最终修刑法，奇葩国度患无穷。
政治正确的印度电影越来越多，不过整体的水平还是停留在1.0时代，都是别人玩过的相对老套的东西，同类型的《恐怖直播 》早在十年前就完成了远高于本片的政治表达和自我嘲讽，去过印度，没去过韩国，不过大体上还是觉得印度的社会问题和矛盾要远多于韩国，毕竟数十倍的人口摆在那儿。《星期四》虽不完美，甚至在剧作上是由硬伤的，不过在节奏和氛围营造上确实不错，推脸镜头真是老香港了，煞有介事的配乐有点洗脑。不较真地看。
3.5又一部主题先行的电影，要控诉的也非常地直白了，德里黑公交事件中多名罪犯被判处了死刑，但他们却迟迟没有执行，印度在修改了相关法律后，受害者却迟迟等不来正义的到来，电影中一大半时间都在表现女主角的“凶恶”，其实很多细节都明显地留下了反转的铺垫，这次这个发生在戈拉巴的绑架案中也用相当的篇幅展现了社交媒体、传统媒体、警察机构、公益互助组织、法律、行政当局对于印度女性权益保护的角色，它们没有形成有机的高效的联合体，反而需要受害者自己来为自己复仇，一个几小时就能抓住的关键罪犯，却浪费那么多年直到彻底被遗忘，发声是多么地困难，正如电影中所说，你拉着人家的耳朵喊都不一定有人愿意理会你
豆瓣印度片的分真的是高的离谱了6分的片子能到8分？印度警察拍的和搞笑一样，嫌犯持枪直接开门单挑打警察，劫持了一堆人质结果警方没派一个谈判专家与之周旋，傻乎乎的让罪犯一个人掌控全局，搞笑的还有嫌犯的家属近况居然警察不调查，隔了N久了男主回来了才想起问她亲人，这TM谁能告诉我还有哪个国家这样拍不被骂 还被打8分叫好的，哈阿三粉的真是够了
