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.
我太普通了，欣赏不了，理解不了。
给四星，是因为丰富无比的场景和各种各样的怪物，以及是定格动画，很不容易。
前：风格好像挺独特的。哦，好。
在看s11 rng打edg间隙看的这部电影，刚开始一度不知道哪个更恶心。看到第三局我悟了，继续看这部电影，竟然发现还可以，电影有很多暗喻和对人类文明的讽刺吧，看不甚懂，图个猎奇
把所有令人不适的意象放在了一起，让人有些看不懂。
是那一类7分中规中矩历史片，题材、剧本、演员在那，执行地只要规规矩矩就不会差的那种，现在的历史片因为大事件都拍过了现在就专挑一些不为人知的隐藏故事从小抓起，这部还是容易看进去的，洗白张伯伦，乔治麦凯又开始奔跑了，帝国的毁灭演戈培尔的演员终于混到演元首了
我的天啊这个角度，真《张伯伦：忍辱负重的黑暗骑士》？？？（不行，希特勒这个演员完全不行，完全不行，再搞什么啊）
定格动画的观感，内容大致和二战有关。血腥暴力一锅乱炖，还有真人出境，好感度大减。
真踏马讨厌恐怖片导演当谜语人
只用惊艳到令人乍舌的视觉奇观就撑起了将近九十分钟的电影。
很喜欢任务人被抓住之后被医生开膛破肚深入挖掘血液四溅最后掏出一只虫子婴儿的场景。
BGM不错的。
你永远都猜不到下一个场景会有多恶心，刚用面包虫喂完我的守宫...
真踏马讨厌恐怖片导演当谜语人
感觉这个玩意，咱不擅长，但是只要有一个孩子说感觉对了，那就对呗 欣赏作品，不想太多
每一帧都是噩梦，实在佩服导演自己能够坚持做这么多年。
是有致敬太空漫游吧！特别是最后一段格外超现实主义
这部片的风格，太符合我的系统了
献给肮脏混乱疯糜的赞歌 我愿称之为cult元素大杂烩的情怀向艺术。虽说超过一小时的篇幅或多或少会让人审美疲劳，但还是爆赞 巨赞 噩梦赞。电影是自由的 精神性癖是自由的 审美是自由的！假设我说“我看疯神的时候真的嗨爆了”，会被人以为是精神病或者地狱人吗？……我真的嗨爆了。
很可惜的一点就是故事弱于画面了，不知道是不是因为三十年前的设想在今日已经屡见不鲜……但真的，好佩服啊，好佩服！
