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.
高概念、动作戏、迷影梗和恶趣味交相辉映，加上俩导天马行空的视觉想象力，至少是保证了一个蛮与众不同的观影体验。但本以为会从混乱的跳转中提炼出某种真挚的情感，结果只是纯粹满足于光怪陆离的形式变化。一会儿陷入nothing matters的虚无主义，一会儿又看到每种可能性中值得把握的美好，实在难以理解各种转折之间的衔接逻辑，无论母女关系还是夫妻关系的和解都显得莫名其妙。
私奔也会离婚，父亲也会厌弃。也许只有母亲，给予你从诞生到死亡所有的爱意。来自妈妈的爱，帮我对抗饥饿，对抗迷茫，对抗伤害，对抗虚无。
在烂片越来越多的一年里，这部影片让我坚信，电影仍旧是浪漫且美丽的存在。
但是不可能在国内院线上，因为少儿不宜的镜头还挺多的。
影片共鸣共情的地方真的太多，存在和虚无主义，唯物or唯心，爱与被爱，家庭纽带和独立，关怀牵绊还是放手，善良对抗暴力等等，瞬息间拨动心弦后劲实在太大，这是值得二刷三刷去玩味其中的奥妙。
高情商：天马行空，低情商：花里胡哨；
这不是电影，是命好题目的短视频集合。列好框架，一直打磨往里面加散装素材，最后扣题，太生硬，太学生了。
她之所以突然觉得丈夫更体贴、女儿更可爱、生活更美好了，是因为伊芙琳的思想观念变了。
白人眼里最完美的和解：认清你是垃圾我也是垃圾我们祖上三代都是垃圾人类更是垃圾，只能在一次次的失败里反复沉沦，被小小的煽情打动后继续怀揣随时可能破灭的希望过狗屎一样的生活。但东亚亲缘关系远比电影里那些花里胡哨的穿梭要复杂得多，套用元宇宙概念只是诞生了新时代的流量密码。
看了5天才看完，豆瓣推出负一星吧，只有负一星才能治疗我看这片尬出的内伤，脚趾抓地把家里的地板都抓坏了
本以为是超级英雄工艺品，谁知是一个迷影风格狂欢品。作品不仅风格魔幻，剧本扎实，人设也是有趣有泪。尤其是母女关系的呈现上，完全戳中泪点。最后落脚点在爱上，很多人为此诟病。但如果人到中年，就会发现虽然俗套至极，但也确实只有爱能抵御虚无。
真正属于21世纪的电影，一切都是21世纪的，一部真正的杰作！太精彩了！绝对的时代精神！

乱糟糟，闹哄哄，一场游戏一场梦，两个石头两个蛋，扯吧。
像是《青春变形记》的母亲视角版本，关于的议题也有类似，女性、亚裔、家人之间的和解、自我的和解。形式上，《瞬息全宇宙》做足了花活，两极运镜、快速剪辑、丝滑转场，将一个个场景打造成了梦幻版的奇观。从视听上看，这是一部属于大银幕的电影。内容上，它涵盖的题目太多，以伊芙琳为中心，辐射到父女、夫妻、母女，但在具体的焦虑化解上，并不算细致。这也是影片的问题：表达过剩，形式过剩。石头的对话非常加分。三星半。
好久没看到这么精彩的电影了，最让我感动的居然是石头宇宙，笨拙的妈妈石头努力朝女儿石头移动的样子看得我爆哭。
说是科幻，其实更像超级英雄电影，但完成度比漫威之流高太多了，而且有一个相当中式的内核；表演都很出色，男主角酷似成龙；最令人叹为观止的是视觉上的创造力，多元宇宙的无限可能。另外，台版翻译成《妈的多重宇宙》真是笑死我了，最后出字幕的时候发现导演明明是给了中文名的，叫《天马行空》。
真好，我们还有一个可以这样拍电影的平行宇宙
高情商：多元宇宙，低情商：段子拼凑。
开篇都是谐趣、恶趣、童趣，到后来都变成悲伤、悲情、悲壮。天马行空类型大混搭，百无禁忌口味大串烧。人生种种困难、困惑、困境，被消解也被凸显，那些肥硕软弱晃荡的不受控的手无法彼此握紧，但用脚去弹琴和抚摸，他们和解了很多事，夫妻、母女，但一个又一个宇宙里还是都各有各的失去。那两块石头彼此沉默不语的一段是最好的，just be a rock该多好，宇宙洪荒，万物本象，人类或许本就是一块块顽石。这电影野心勃勃又单纯得近乎乖张。只是这一切都需要时刻用理性去省察，从这个角度去看，又有点遗憾。
