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.
三星半，其实还可以的。前面像《逃出绝命镇》，中间树林里逃亡又有点像《黄海》，仿佛又看到了《人皮客栈》的欧洲小镇，最后变成了《第一滴血》的兰博，杀出重围手刃仇人。
论如何用北欧文艺片的镜头拍老套的动作惊悚片。因颜色革命的政治背景，和各种留白，反倒脱离了该类型爆炸，追车，撩妹的陈旧段子，就感觉非常独特。
太好看了！于无声处听惊雷，真实，扣人心弦。打低分的人，是什么心态？
偏写实的政治惊悚题材，天生略显沉闷，导演为了挽回在结尾安排贝克特爆发小宇宙，跳车那一瞬间好像成龙附体。
有点希区柯克的味道，不得不说音乐做的真好。但是无奈剧情的孱弱已经男主无法撑起整部电影，导致这部电影沦为尴尬境地。
平凡之中的伟大，不是精心策划的剧本，却依旧抓人。
垃圾片，还将近两个小时
前面铺垫那么多感情戏后来剧情彻底走向政治？？跳楼压车实在是扯大蛋了
小黑哥的演技比起他老爸还是逊色多了，不过有超级英雄附身的话没有什么任务是完成不了的！
Ferdinando Cito Filomarino。坂本龍一配樂。約翰大衛華盛頓帶著比《天能》主角更好的身手，來演一個搞不清楚狀況的美籍中產旅客大叔，神擋就不小心殺神，佛擋就不小心殺佛，一人幹翻整場複合性陰謀，類《北西北》式的『一不小心拯救世界』，帶著這種惡趣味看會覺得這部電影很有娛樂性：到底為啥這個美國死老百姓這麼強運又能打，可能要理解他的爆發有一種贖罪動機，恐怖分子很不巧地惹到一個愛人過世，需要找點東西轉移注意力／完成未竟之業的路人，這樣講的話可能也可以像希區考克電影一樣用精神分析去解。語言隔絕身處險境。有點不靈光的鏡頭語言。風景漂亮，攝影的色彩表現不錯。Vicky Krieps 很正（在這部電影裡）。
找领馆就够蠢了你还离开领馆送死 后面是怎么回事 一命抵一命？孤胆超英模式？呆梨人也有这么幼稚可爱的价值观吗？
幸亏是去碟店买10送的那个1……让观影后心态还能平和，不至于觉得：被编剧糊弄得太悲催，为男主的颜值忍得太尴尬。
前半：离奇的厄运 后半：怎么滴美国式个人英雄主义就算倒大霉也不能忘是吗
既然要灭口，为什么不在开局车祸的时候就灭口？十五分钟全剧终，多好。
男主智力真的堪忧…一开始看到警察能和刚刚无端开枪的人和平地站在一起还能信他；大使馆的人问那么多无关问题也不生疑；看到两个人在车里的第一反应竟然是把胳膊伸进车窗等人家掏枪了再开枪…无语了
就黑人真的好能跑啊😂大哥跳崖跳车跳窗手还伤了还能逃出生天，全片让观众和男主一样，不知道为啥自己就被追杀了，很好
一个平民无端卷入一场阴谋，以肉身和意志展开了与强暴的对抗。延用了老派悬疑电影桥段“错误的人”，整体气氛、节奏把握都还不错，情节有稍有刻意。丹泽华盛顿虎父无犬子，老有可慰矣。
三星半。这主角战斗值，不当特工可惜了啊，还以为最后一个镜头他会终于放松下来翻白眼休克过去。
【4】撑起这个电影的是演员阵容，以及某种程度上对于希腊人文风情的展现。但综合来看，最终分数可能还是会不及格(低于6.0)。【5】一看到Boyd Holbrook就觉得他演的角色不是好人[笑哭]。
本来冲着坎妹看的，结果戏份很少
