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.
中规中矩的主旋律音乐剧 #20211120
还是那个永恒的难题：轻与重，你到底渴望怎样的人生？太重了当然想扔掉一切规则轻盈的飞上天，过一过云上的日子，太轻了又希望有稳稳的幸福，让脚步能踏实的走在大地上。于是很多关系，很多选择，就在生命里如钟摆晃来晃去，若即若离。
疫情解封后的百老汇音乐剧+911 20周年纪念让这部作品天然意义非凡，相比《汉密尔顿》讲述美国国父背后的男人的丰功伟绩，《来自远方》展现了加拿大纽芬兰岛民的力量与善意，it's a celebration of humanity，这是对普通人的赞歌。
题材和表演都很强。以为只是打擦边球。没想到亮点在最后。
4.4/支持所有女性性解放（性解放不等于性开放，望周知。）更支持她们都可以在最简单直接的方式中拥有自己的快乐。这剧本真的太会了，演员更是十分到位，一间小小的房间把所有复杂的东西都呈现了出来，艾玛婶真的棒的。但是请放心，这并不是鸭的平均水平，一个足够好称得上足够贵的价格的鸭，至少也是一个好的心理咨询师。「也许比起你年轻时的貌美，更有人爱你备受岁月‘摧残’的容颜」

四星半。片子会带给不同人不同的解读，可以有反对对性工作者遭遇的美化，可以有反对支持性服务合法化的观点，也可以看到，正是基于片中女主自我探索的过程，才无法让角色性别互换，恰恰是因为这种性别安排，更巧妙的展现了女性的困境，性只是表象，枷锁的束缚与解除才是内核。艾玛汤普森演技太棒了。
CFA在我这里的位置很尴尬，甚至我觉得它有些外百老汇了。为了me and the sky还是加一星。
8.5/10
而这对于他们来说，又有什么所谓呢，最后的大尺度亦水到渠成。
一个历史事件里的边缘小故事，我得说美国在这方面的表达方式更接近我的点大概。音乐非常棒，故事群像也做得清晰明了。一度在过程里哽咽，确实明白发生过什么，也为人性里的柔软的力量感动。
好欢乐啊，贝蒂最后的表情笑死我了。上次看的这么开心还是《登堂入室》呢哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
这无疑是一部充满勇气和突破性的电影——从话题到表现方式。尽管剧情走向和故事结局难免有着过分戏剧化的色彩，但通过艾玛·汤普森前后衣着、姿态、肢体语言的细腻变化，仍然极具说服力。非常棒的女性主义题材和准舞台剧佳作。
当男女主人公正准备开启「迈进」新世界大门时，我们注意到，屏幕上出现一个「你中有我我中有你」复合状态的名字。此外，还有二者相会也是在线上的「网络」空间与线下的「旅店」房间融为一体时发生。这是两个长期处在持续衰落逃避状态当中「无家可归」的互助者。问题在于，有「大国」雄起才有「小民」高潮啊。我是谁？如何通过能够弥合灵肉之间缝隙的「两性」关系回应这个现代人都会遭遇的「全球性」命题？Let‘s go to bed——我们当然可以按照字面意思「去上床吧」理解，但如果英国人为你提供的这个「躺平」方案没有启发性，不如换个「哲学」语境——依循海德格尔的路经，先行到那不可避免的死亡中去进行敞开。译成中文就是，视死如归。古人云：路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。所以「主仆」和解之后，不宜继续指教的师生只能祝这个利益共同体好运啦。
之前看盗摄版从头哭到尾 今天再看官摄反而有点看不进去了（虽然曲子一响还是会哭）可能对我来说是一次性用的煽情片子…
哭得泣不成声的我，被姐妹差点误以为是遭遇了家暴
我太喜欢了 我真的好羡慕导演能写出这样的对话内容 可能就是情色和色情的区别 我想到了火口的两人 这没有什么可耻的。最后那一幕很妙 或许只有女主自己才能取悦自己。“我很高兴你来了”
看到飙泪。这是音乐的力量，也是伟大的自由、文化、人性的力量，所有恐怖主义和邪恶政权在人类历史长河里，只是被冲刷走的一滴污渍而已。
没有宏大华美的布景，演员们都要分饰几角，所以舞台场景与角色转换做得相当精巧娴熟。基督徒、犹太教徒和牧斯林同时用各自旋律祈祷和声那段太动听了，还有回程时乘客过安检的慢镜头表演也是神来之笔。最后看到演员与真实人物的合影也非常感动
恐怖主义袭击的同时、世界上另一处地方展示出的人性的光芒。百老汇的舞台能力已经完全驾轻就熟。不过美国人的编剧真的是...过度热衷夹塞政治立场，同性恋种族歧视黑人枪支女性主义...所有的故事都非得要融合热点式的见缝插针地来一腿（个人真不欣赏这样的编剧手法，立场再正确再硬也不欣赏这样来编剧。显眼的突出点反而像一种对这个故事本身的破坏；又好像不那么写、就很难出内容了似的）。
