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.
电影里，男主角评价他师父的电影：单看各个镜头都没什么感觉，但组接在一起后却神奇地好看，镜头之间一定住着电影之神吧！——大概这就是我对这部电影的评价，温柔，可爱，充满感情～
台庆合家欢嘛……917，2021北影节第1场，苏打的鼻子侧面看已经快赶上匹诺曹了
与其说是关于电影的电影，还不如说是关于婚姻的电影。剧情够老套，孙子那个演员会演戏吗，怎么看怎么难受。不管怎么说，对山田老爷子表示敬意。
如果真的有才华且热爱电影，我想不会那么轻易放弃电影的吧！另外剧本在伍迪艾伦的《开罗紫玫瑰》早就用过了，也没有那么惊艳了。还有这个世界上真的有如此卑微的爱吗？如果真的有，那我不会对这样的女人有任何同情的。真的有点失望……甚至这个老人除去年轻时当场记和初次做导演的紧张外，他对爱情的混账和家庭的满不负责以及友情的不屑都让我觉得电影之神不眷顾他是理所应当。
充满了拧巴的元素和奇怪的节奏，但情感冲击力是真的强。快速的人物塑造和极高的叙事效率，线索的穿插处理还是不错的。
辞职的转折确实太过突兀，没人能这样轻易放弃，从这里开始，好不容易垒砌的积木算是彻底塌掉了。
一篇在及格边缘徘徊的命题作文。作为松竹元老，那个时代的亲历者，导演应该能提供足够的细节，来还原这家片场在整个电影工业的百年沉浮任何一个片段都好，但最后还是拍成了一部精神致敬家庭剧。这软绵绵的抒情戏码甚至把剧中吐槽清水宏和小津的幽默感都减弱了。
放映師說鏡頭與鏡頭之間駐有神明，看到一幕直接噴淚。

剪切和转场都有点突然，感觉人物还没立住就发生转变了。最后把疫情融入电影和怀念志村健让我眼湿湿。
以为会是迷影之神作，结果却像“作神”之影迷。2.5
讴歌女性用自己的苦难为渣男撑起一切的爱情，诡计多端的导演😊

今天的我已经无法以非女性视角看任何影视剧了，虽然我很喜欢电影的质感尤其是年轻的时候的那些戏，但也不妨碍我觉得这简直是一部臭昭和大男人主义的电影，又赌博又酗酒，欠了债还要连累妻子女儿为自己还债，七八十岁的妻子为了存钱还要去电影院扫厕所，我的天啊。然后电影的最后还要意淫美丽女明星穿过银屏来到自己的身边，明明是当初自己懦弱地放弃梦想却还要一直讲电影梦，这个角色我实在是看不出有一点可爱之处。
有佳句无佳章，走情怀路线的迷影题材，现实的颓唐与往昔的理想主义制造落差，一是为了引出大片场时代的闪回，进而展现特殊年代电影制作的风貌，二是为了刻画人物的反差来引发温情的效应，但是几条人物线和故事线之间的整合做得马马虎虎，有强烈的割裂感，虽然融入了很多致敬环节，像是打破影像次元结界的联动这些迷影幻想，会让影迷们感叹不已，但是并未能形成有机的统一，疫情时代的故事背景又显得多余，所以空有迷影埋梗、自传性质的致敬等元素，是撑不起来一部佳作的。
熟悉的山田洋次，还是那个味，拍法还是这么古典，好看不惊喜…永野芽郁的昭和少女真的选得好啊！
完全代入里面女儿的视角，她是一个说出自己的不开心、愤怒以及委屈的女性形象（怡微），喜欢桂圆子载着树子去找乡时候的坚毅与眼里的泪光，还有淑子望着自己年轻时的照片，说“也不知道她现在过得好不好”，可惜山田洋次最终也没有给她们真正为自己代言的机会，就像乡以及很多个男性角色始终不敢去面对自己的生活一样，而导演总是通过一个突发事件来解决这些事情。#11th BIFF＃
在电影里生，在电影里死。（片尾字幕都能哭一哭）一直活在过去，又一直关照现实。祝老导演长命百岁啊。🙏
不喜欢，没get到。78岁烂赌老人在家人帮助下才喜得最佳剧本新人奖，真正爱电影的人怎么会在年轻时经历一点挫败就被击倒了。
