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.
让大多数人聪明并有有尊严，且有发言权，乃皿煮
这电影得分略低，我特意打了个一星去看了下意见一致的朋友们说了些什么，还真是稍微让我有些错愕。这跟韩版辩护人实际没有毛线关系哈，都不是一个立意和思维方式。看完这个电影，能让你知道人在没有社会秩序的维护下能做到有多恶。庆幸社会一直在进步，庆幸都在改变吧，这个时代全世界都变了很多，美国70年代也是各种恐怖如斯……暴力机构一点真的暴力对象搞错了，那还是很吓人的。印度的种姓制度还真是顽强呀，如此矛盾对立的国家，还真是社会学的一个奇迹。一边是部落的落后，一边是高清镜头带来的工业和科技的先进性，实在让人无法理解。看看我们之前的讽刺电影之导演技术，远远不能和这个相比。去过印度的人可能都可以感受到这种无处不在的难以理解吧。
片中反应的种姓制度有多荒谬，处于制度最底层的人民生活就有多沉重，而男主这样愿意站出来去帮助他们抗争的人，就有多值得歌颂。

原来他们那也有JC任意拘捕屈打成招的恶性事件，然而电影并没有拍成一部一般意义的爽片，弱者并没有使用简单的暴力去反抗，相反，他们选择了最难的法律武器去维权，幸运的是法律最终真的保护了他们——“贱民”们，或许这就是法治最大的魅力吧。
青春是什么？是允许犯错，是接受不完美，也是永不放弃。最后的马拉松太热血了，泪目了
想象是无法超越的！跌倒了也是你自己！动漫怎么会一直这么可爱啊！
伸张正义才是正能量，掖着不让说不让拍不是。
印度电影女主角开演半小时才登场很常见，但男主角快半个小时了才露面的印度电影，我是第一次见。一度以为我看错了片子，抗过前半小时的铺垫，后面越来越精彩。又是根据真是事件改编，低种姓成年人呆滞的目光和孩子们天真的眼神看着让人揪心，数次鸡皮疙瘩and数次热泪盈眶，Suriya最近的片子也开始走印度良心路线了？
我觉得不行，以往都是春日班团结对外，这个是对抗感觉变味了
我始终觉得，这个世界欠小新一座奥斯卡。
拍得有点“卡通”，但这部电影……或者应该说是这个故事里被侮辱与损害的人，以及这位律师，真的非常了不起。
3.5。本质社会意义大于电影本身吧，虽无过多视听技巧加持且人物塑造扁平了些，不过情绪感染力挺强。以印度史上真实司法案件为蓝本，探究了印度社会根深蒂固的种姓歧视、司法/执法系统公正性、底层平民的人身自由权及财产权，片名《杰伊•比姆》主要是为了颂扬这位努力为贫民阶层争取权益的原型律师。出生定终生，阶层不可逆，身为印度底层女性才真的是惨上加惨吧。
社会环境感觉跟这个时代有点脱节…1.0的直白和煽情，always一言不合就唱跳…8.7分 ？就这？？really ？？？这还是豆瓣吗…另外也忒tm长了
印度电影终于发展到了直面种姓制度的这一天了
世上最难直视的一是太阳，一是人心；而有些时候历史亦如是
除了這部，印度的電影院還出現了同志片，這就是差距。
“为了维护民主，一个人必须很多次变成专制的。”多少罪行假汝之名。
强行塞了164分钟的印度cop强抓虐打部落人。
本该扫除罪恶的人却制造罪恶，是罪恶中之最。
