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.
非常精美的小成本电影，全程发生在小裁缝铺，出场角色也十分有限，但真的非常精彩，剧本扎实，每个角色都拥有一个脑子！另，cutter这个职业太棒了！我太喜欢了！小时候老家都会有裁缝店，做衣服好的裁缝价格也不低。后来裁缝店都关门了，成衣便宜又时髦，还不用等待。
视觉上很舒服的片子，不仅在于极其美观的英伦套装和雅致的文戏对话，更是导演将各种视听巧妙应用在剧情推动上（挑拨离间的交叉剪辑极大程度增强紧张感和节奏、各种快切跳切时刻把观众放在一个紧密的空间里）人物的运筹帷幄其实从刚出场就能略看出，这长的就城府很深，整体的故事并不出众，除了主角其它人物立不住，也就是有点强行降智，但是总的来说作为单一场景电影已经很细致了。
想看的孙锡久就这么点内容，孙锡久的表演进入一种类型化
但看下来，首尾呼应，让人觉得完整。
看见马叔把坏人打死，还是很爽的。
还不错，最开始略碎，但是自从里奇和弗朗西斯那段开始互相指着枪的对决开始就精彩起来了，后来里奇被杀他黑帮爹来店里找人那一段真是精彩，他爹发现里奇的外套时，我看得汗毛都竖起来了。最后一段火烧裁缝店时弗朗西斯又突然莫名站起来了感觉就有点强行没必要😬（可能主要是为了介绍裁缝的背景吧——他的第三个版本的小故事）最后。自从Kingsman开始，我就一直觉得英国的裁缝大概是一个神一样的存在，优雅但又稳狠准，大概都是深藏不露的特工级别，有着永远不领盒饭的主角光环吧😅。最后的最后。画面非常复古，色调和灯光很喜欢，恰到好处，在一间小屋子里的完成的电影，nice。👍
经常看到老裁缝脑内小齿轮在飞转。致敬Rope，以及老版水浒给林冲王伦劝架的吴用。
有精致感的电影，真真假假之间马克里朗斯演技真是神了；在疫情期行业萎靡的电影小年里都可以锁定一个个人的年度十佳影片了。
比老派黑帮还老派的低成本高智商反转电影，高超的编剧技巧和演技给人久违的眼前一亮的感觉，完美诠释了什么叫老谋深算。
The.Outfit.2022.2160p.WEB-DL.x265.10bit.HDR.DDP5.1-NOGRP期待过高了
但这，不恰恰是问题吗。
hohoho~ 不知不觉中就进入了高潮~ 可以的。（真就把标签功能删了？真是TMD ||2022.5.9 诶~标签又出来了，所以是为了某个“大日子”的暂时性自阉？
真的是 太！好！看！了！ 第一次看动作戏这么上头！都想再去电影院看一遍！孙锡久这个男人真的是太sexy了！妥妥的行走的男性荷尔蒙！2022我就认他一个！！
全世界都爱马东锡！反派也好帅 大砍刀咻咻咻
本片最好的设计是“拿走子弹”。马克李朗斯舞台出身，拿捏这种角色简直易如反掌。
我会把这种片子推荐给所有喜欢反转的朋友。但是在我看来，只是一种生硬的优秀的话剧剧本。
最后一段打戏是真的舒服，年度打戏top1。隔壁《灰影人》投资两亿美元，还不如人家这几分钟。
虽然说剧情上有反转，但是从头到尾还是有点太平铺直叙，基本上没有啥视听技巧，高潮来的太晚，反转有些俗套到让人猜到。编剧转导演的处女作还是很稚嫩。
除了最后本以为死透了人突然复活有点牵强…其他都很好 完全可以当做一部满分的舞台剧来看 当然这种类型的电影里肯定会是几个英国演员来撑起场面
有点意思，可惜格局太小所以反转没什么说服力。
