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.
《四月三周两天》
片中的裸露镜头有一半是多余的，甚至直接剪掉都不影响剧情。
这种让人潜意识里知道可能“正发生”的疼痛 要比那些血浆B级片更令人不忍直视——虽然 导演对于展现感官上的血腥终究是克制的 但不去拍 让人脑补那金属利器进入子宫的画面 反而更令人窒息
演墮胎女醫生的演員在《花神咖啡館》裡扮演過波伏瓦。
95分钟版。手持怼脸流大女主戏，传统的女性主义表达，拍得很精道。另外看来去年的威尼斯和戛纳都是主打的痛感牌……
不好意思，借用一下某条短评的前面部分【喜欢瀑布胜过阳光普照，瀑布拍得很笨拙，阳光太精巧...阳光的说教性更强，有一种宣扬】。因为我的感受刚好跟这位相反：喜欢阳光普照远胜过瀑布，阳光普照拍得自然并不巧，瀑布太精巧了——所有安排都是为了套路而去，瀑布的说教性更强，有一种宣扬
很难想象是金狮奖的片子，手段和内容都毫无新意，中规中矩稳扎稳打。
没想到威尼斯也开始搞这一套了。《正发生》拿金狮，无非又是别有用心者一手炮制的对「反堕胎法」的驳击。也许它拥有比《TITANE》更真实的疼痛感，也许作为电影来讲它细腻、独到、剪辑、摄影均属一流，但这破事天天拿出来倒腾，看多了也腻歪。
没有期待的那么高，整个故事和人物塑造不出彩，空有一个抓人的题材比较注目，新题材新问题果然是比较引发关注与思考的，又或许故事和人物塑造并不重要，社会价值才是影片摆在前列的东西。
我们该为欲望羞愧么？我们的身体属于我们自己么？
在一个堕胎犯法的大环境下，男方装死隐身，把怀孕的风险和痛苦完全转嫁给女方，全程看着非常焦虑窒息
堕胎才是真正的属于女性题材。女人韵事，四月三周两天，‘’从不，很少，有时，总是‘’，‘’女人的碎片‘’都这题材。
远不如《四月三周两天》那样具有手持跟焦近景的现实冲击力量。《正发生》撞上的现实好像一块海绵，反弹的力量远远大于撞击那一刻的疼痛。主体描述的是得知怀孕后的精神状态，流于表面，除了几次大胆地展露身体，用铁棍刺痛私密部位，再没有可以引起情感变化的点。虽然仍旧是在批判制度的无情与亲朋的冷漠，家人、朋友、医生、爱人也都点到，奇怪的是每一个人物与每一场对峙都不“好看”，不“动人”。如果因为大尺度的几场戏给到桂冠，未免令人失望。
B+ #CIBEMABIA# 电影以1.37:1的旧电视格式呈现，缩小了视野，并赋予故事真实性和生活感，Anne的怀孕周期随着时间的推移如同定时炸弹一样不断揪着观众的心，她试图阻止，并付出了代价。出彩的剪辑，使一系列景深和定焦的连贯镜头变得生动，特写镜头则密切地关注着安妮怀孕的身体、心理变化，捕捉这一过程并且赤裸裸的呈现出来，与Never不同的是，它全程都是冷冰冰的。我们大多数人做出的选择通常与社会接受度相符，但我们仍然希望在坚持自我后，被拥抱与接受，即使在精神上拒绝承认这一点，正如片名《正发生》，类似的事会将一直在我们身边上演，禁止不了的是人类的生理结构，而退一万步，社会能做的就只有接纳与照顾，但听闻德州实行的堕胎禁令，让人不禁想问，社会是否正在倒退？
目前感觉是2021三大电影节大奖获奖影片中最弱的一部
可能整个影片并没有此前一些相似题材的作品那么有力度，但胜在在女性主义议题上着墨更多，女主的一切行事动机皆因要掌控对自己人生的选择。最后一部分直观地展现了痛苦，让人感同身受，也是很厉害的拍法。
一种只会攻击女人的病，把她们变成家庭主妇的病。是社会病了，和一部分可恶的男人。
一时的爽，换来无尽的痛苦，但这难道是应该一个人承担的么？！
“一种只攻击女性的病，让她们变成家庭主妇的病。”
相比于柏林的《忍者宝宝》和戛纳的《钛》，这部拿下威尼斯金狮的怀孕题材作品显得更加压抑和稳重，不使用隐喻和概念来包装，不尝试调剂氛围，以极其真实的镜头来书写一位六十年代女学生非法堕胎的全程经历，这样扑面而来的严肃令人喘不过气，奥黛丽·迪万将镜头脂质怼到安娜玛丽亚茫然痛苦的面孔上，一部极具时代性的作品，大概在女性文化史上会留下属于她们的位置。
