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.

明明可以拍成很细腻的青春片，对手演员和剧本都太平淡了，anyway戳宝真的好美
3.5 Joel Coen并不在乎麦克白，只在乎如何把舞台布景变为电影布景。
高中后就没怎么关注特洛耶希文了 这次一见还是挺亮眼的 脸还跟当年一样一点没变 角色诠释也很自然 他算是俗套的青春片中唯一的亮点了
我总恍惚觉得这是一次对黑泽明奇妙的告白。另外全片我最喜欢的部分都是三女巫的戏份。
毋庸置疑，丹泽尔华盛顿是好莱坞的演技担当之一，在戏里的表现也相当出彩。电影的色调与构图、舞台化的背景和原生态的台词，让我想起《白蛇传·情》，东西方的故事和表现手法迥然不同，但是对于传统文化的表达，却是异曲同工的。但，影片这样的安排还让我想起了好莱坞的zzzq，麦克黑、棕雪公主、墨人鱼、00黑妹……我的天，非要拿他人的历史文化和自己的传承相结合，有必要吗？
麦克白是一个阴郁的故事，这次乔尔科恩用电影语言重新翻译了它。7分给到极度风格化的摄影，黑白明暗对照，布景和打光突出的犀利线条。转场换景的调度，既有电影艺术提供的光影质感，又有舞台剧艺术的庄严，但男女主的表演有点盛名之下其实难副。
超出我的预期很多，虽然BLM麦克白有点骨酥，但是演技没话说，黑白图像也冲击力十足
极简却绝佳的舞台布置，生硬却精准的文本言语，以及深情自如的表演，共同完美演绎了这出经典戏剧。在女巫的预言下踏上背叛和杀戮的道路，却终因偷得来的一切而恐惧和不安，当跟随欲望走上一条不归路，便无法熄灭这片黑暗之火。
将戏剧搬到银幕上，物理上收缩了时空，效果上将时空拉得更开。黑白剧照拍出来很好看，但是在一出悲剧中显得过于刻意，包括影片对于光线的运用。技术上很出色，但没能掩盖被弱化的内核。
1. 原来troye sivan这么帅；2. 原来troye sivan演技还挺自然XD电影本身很简单，但可能也是因为简单，有难得的干净
一起都会好起来的，所有的一切
用现实生活中的建筑材料来模仿舞台上的效果，有点像《歧路旅人》这种用精美的3d画面模仿2d的游戏。看了一半开了中文字幕，因为真的听不懂。
雖然數字黑白的影像氣質始終無法跟膠片對比（同比同樣是 A24 出品的《燈塔》就是天壤之別），但好在美學風格和攝影扳回一城。柯恩嫂和女巫的表演真好。這個故事現在來看和現實的互文感強到令人頭皮發麻。
奶奶真的很给人以力量，“a fist in the air”是我需要狠狠学习的。
如果光线不是这么明亮，这部黑白片会不会看起来就像黑色电影了？
啊 fiet长的实在过于精致了！！洋娃娃一样！！
字面意义的好看，但内容和形式存在一种割裂感。"I am in this earthly world, where to do harm is often laudable, to do good sometime accounted dangerous folly."
22/1/19：能唬电影小白们又方便影评人士一起糊弄门外汉的
我文化还是低，提前学了sparknotes还是只听得懂10%... 可能莎翁周边我只看得了，唔，狮子王？(美到没话说的一切，但改编的话个人觉得还是Romeo + Juliet或者《乱》那样的路数更有趣，but what do i know? 我只是个学sparknotes的
