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.
1、【On Your Mark（望着妈妈）】
1961年的意大利，繁荣的北边兴建高楼，通过电视向全国转播。与此同时，米兰的冒险家们来到纯朴的南方勘探洞穴，向上向下都是求索。众多超远景和低光场景，难以想象在电脑上看会是什么效果。优秀的屏幕让观影体验完全不同：我甚至能分辨出树上的每片叶子，看清妇女们在溪边清洗的衣物和山间每头牲畜的一举一动（有时你分不清是它们还是看守它们的老人在叫），还有那吞噬杂志内页的火焰的牙齿。洞穴里满是不可思议的镜位，走一步看一步的过程让我想起去年在桐庐参观未开发钟乳洞的经历。标题到片尾（浓雾弥漫山谷）之间没有任何字幕，这里的历险是一种视觉与心灵的体验，与语言无关。记住speleology这个词，它是自然界的美和神秘与人类探索精神的化身。★★★☆
喜欢水滴声和几条并行的线。
直到钢笔写下“-683”的时候才意识到不是纪录片…
无论是生气地拒绝别人的好心“你怎么不请他们喝（可乐）”，还是怯弱地向媒体表达同工同酬的诉求，妈妈都想要全世界把你当一个普通人。
画面极美...嗯...其余的不太好评价了，摩天大楼与洞的对比，老人与洞的联系...总的来说就是，我看不懂但我大受震撼
在北京遇到的一个ftm兄弟，那几天正好是北京国际电影节，他有一张票空出来了，我们一起去了三里屯看这部电影。我第一次窥见了小众独立艺术电影的样貌，才反应过来自己沉浸在爆米花电影中太久了…
2，吴君如的表演真好，从金鸡到家庭片。不变的是港人精神，坚韧。
每一个片段都有很感人的点，剪辑在一起却觉得很断片，不知道为何。励志是真的很励志，残奥果然展示的都是最不屈的人性。
（北影）第一次和那么多人一起看大闷片，居然没有人提前离场（好像是）。知道是探洞的，没想到真的只有探洞。
无台词电影，感觉摄影很棒。探索，是一少部分人的事情，这种风格显然与观众不友好，观影中座位左右基本是低头看手机了。7分。
没拿金狮真的可惜，实在是太有诗意的的电影。远离尘嚣的山村里，人们透过黑白电视好奇地观望城市里的繁华。而城市里的人们却走进大山去探寻未知的洞穴。老人会站在山顶观赏着无比壮丽的风景，也会在夜晚的篝火里和朋友们聊着天泪眼朦胧。现代人的生活已经很难回到这样悠然见南山的环境下了，科技的发展让世界的未知越来越少，也让我们内心都渴望拥有一份宁静。希望每年都能有更多这样的作品问世。
#2021IFFMH# 4.5 / 人归于自然和人深入自然，两种融合的结合。
一星半。执着于煽情，配角连功能性都不完整，天赋和努力的缺失是电影的最大败笔。
【2021北影节展映】纯粹看画面的片子，风景、构图，有IMAX可能会更好？ 平淡到以为是纪录片。
#BJIFF No.7#本届北影节最后一部，非常奇妙的观影体验，只可意会难以言传，也就睡了两觉吧，无对白+环境音实在太像助眠的白噪音了。
#2021BIFF#声与画，人与自然。获得宝贵而静谧的20分钟睡眠🍃
虽然是郑思杰老师安利，但是依旧要说这种廉价感动网大，还是少拍
戛然而止。我在想，拍一个勘察墓葬的不错啊。 @2021-09-21 22:37:43 @2022-06-03 23:19:56
节奏挺好，也没太多赘余的枝节。吴监制亲自上场，导演cut不cut都好说吧~
