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.
服化道声光电布景都很厉害，经典歌曲的演绎很好。但是Rachel Zegler担不起女主，像一个菲佣。全班主演拉垮，故事也很传统很中二，很蠢。Steven Spielberg一副王炸玩砸了。
很完美所有运镜 光影 走位 歌舞的编排 都是丝毫无差，每个镜头都很精致，但真的全片看下来你会发现毫无感情！一个优秀的音乐剧摆拍壳壳。（男女主选角不可）
技术上特别厉害，故事虽然我有些疑虑但在当下特别有意义，人与人间分歧产生的争端升级后只会带来伤害，愿大家平和，愿世界和平。这是我在豆瓣标记看过的第3000部电影。
斯皮尔伯格圆了自己的歌舞片梦想，却只是忠实的致敬了劳伦斯和伯恩斯坦。所有的歌舞片都不该被生硬的搬上大银幕，包括1961版的《西区故事》。
文本本身吧放在现在看就挺无聊的。改编做的音乐歌舞部分是OK，但选角挺不行的，男女主表演都不太行，配角还都比较出彩。
分全给cinematography，以及女配男配。男女主真的不行，文戏硬演，唱段的画面和声音都是硬生生的割裂感。也难怪拿America片段做宣传，DeBose和Alvarez老道太多。而有Faist的画面Ansel再高也没存在感。我看的最后一场musical theater就是澳巡的西区故事，我宁愿再看一遍那个。这电影烂番茄新鲜度95，搞笑来的？
糟糕的故事，男主也演得好糟糕，唱歌和女主不是一个度，跳舞也和兄弟们相形见绌。希望这世上不会再有这种罗密欧朱丽叶危害人间，救命啊。所有星星都给anita了。
《西区故事》将歌舞戏放在广阔城市空间拍摄，将舞步融合于镜头的运动中，甚至于打斗戏都有歌舞编排，足见斯皮尔伯格成熟的拍摄功力，摄影质感和美术也很舒服，将当下种族矛盾等热点议题也嵌了进去，但是剧情和演员着实拖了后腿，男主继承《极盗车神》的面瘫特质，表演毫无情感张力，剧情也是非常冗长老套，悲剧内核被歌舞部分冲掉了太多。（6.5/10）
关公门前耍大刀，我不知道得有多努力。作为歌舞片，连“只要自己不尴尬，尴尬的就是别人”的气势都不够。（注：西班牙语无字幕，用心良苦）
新版和老版的区别就是画面清晰度更高，舞台表演痕迹弱了，技术更好而已。斯皮尔伯格完全是为了完成自己童年的梦想，再加上现在也确实拍不出什么新东西了。碰巧奥斯卡评委跟他有一样的童年情结，所以拿了个提名。美国人最爱的歌舞片对于咱们来说只能排在《音乐之声》《雨中曲》甚至《爱乐之城》之后了！
斯皮尔伯格去拍迪士尼吧
西区故事完美复刻了黄金时代的歌舞片，直到俩位主角出现… 俩大头短腿娃娃的身材被专业音乐剧演员完爆，看到安塞尔的肥腿在我面前不停晃时真恨不得冲进去给他来一针瘦腿针。难看也就算了，不会唱也不会演，镜头一切到他们就像误入了网飞的粗制滥造青春片现场。谁来给我搞个换头换声版啊……
哥哥嫂子Riff演的都特别好……敌对阵营的女性还是会挺身而出阻止强暴……嗯除此之外好像也没啥优点了。说实在的看这种故事我现在就是一脸冷漠，这些人全都是自找的，女人们工作劳动，男人们打架斗殴，约群架还带刀带枪，死人不是很正常的事吗，搞得特别沉重特别惊讶似的……
6分。老版当年我感觉就很一般，但勉强可以用时代感来搪塞，但过了60年竟然还来这套，这也太过了点。这种设计，就该和《蝴蝶夫人》，《西贡小姐》之类一起被扫进历史的故纸堆。两个主角完全没有存在感，远不如哥哥和嫂子更有魅力。喷气机帮那边更是没什么人物能给人留下印象。也就服化道比当年强大，老斯的调度能力的确没得说。《America》确实好听，如今的美国梦。。。咋说呢。。。。吸引力大大不如从前了呢~~~
举手投足间，处处渗出舞蹈功力，跳起舞来更是熠熠闪光。
我听不出来安塞尔唱的好坏，当年悲惨世界都说罗素唱得差，我也听不出来，只听出来阿曼达气喘🌚
感觉都不算翻牌，连老电影的质感都一并“致敬”了，像是导演失去创造力后重新捕获的一条捷径。尽管年轻演员都还算卖力，故事也重新被赋予了新的背景，但是这不像是为当下的观众所拍的电影。从概念到导演手法到故事context，全部都非常过时。
场面调度堪称一流，但对剧情的改编或内核深挖几乎没有。全片依旧是好莱坞式工业化的集大成之作，男女主的表演则略显浮夸，反而是男配角演员Mike Faist十分出彩。
很喜欢！和老版比各有千秋吧，但这版在情节处理上更多emotional touch（歌曲顺序也更自然），放在2022世界分裂战争进行时看还蛮触动的，尤其是永恒的主题“i can kill now because i hate now”。老版最uncomfortable的一幕是Anita当时去报信被Jets羞辱的情节，新版在这个处理上加入了女角，还让Rita奶奶出来救人更满意。要骂的当然是Ansel这个戏很烂导致重点场景全靠老斯镜头调度展现演技的男主了…Rachel亮眼完美，当然DeBose是最吸睛的。剩下就是老斯已臻化境的导演技法应该也不用多费口舌了（和老版冷色调比，这版调成偏暖还蛮合我胃口的）片尾roll完上的“For Dad”很可爱XDDDDD
没看过原版，觉得整体故事还行，但一些桥段居然让我笑场数次，连中评也不能有
