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.
最后教"I'm not fine and that's a totally reasonable response!" 我接受本片的意义
现在实在不是这类影片的受众了，文青式精致鸡汤，没有什么烟火气息，也没有什么人物可言，都是导演的思想投射。每场戏里剧作味极强的台词都要撑起半边天，里面小孩说话都跟背稿似的，听得太累。
常常因为我总是会被这样丧到尽头便是温暖的电影不讲道理地打动而感到自己无药可救。不仅仅是关于亲子共处，也是关于城市、关于亲密关系、关于少年与成长。和解是一件太困难的事，但我多么希望，我至少能够与我这fucked-up的生活坦诚地谈一谈，嬉笑着，怒骂着，或是泪流满面着，都可以。正是因为点题的一句台词是从9岁男孩的嘴里说出来的，让我感到分外的难过：生活就是，期待的事情从来不会发生，发生的事情从来无法预料，可我们也只能对自己说，C'mon C'mon C'mon
D+ / 很难进入，导演一如既往采用了十分散文化的拍摄方式，而提腔拿调过于缺乏在地感，因此无法理解角色所思所想，尤其不理解孩子的角色，严重欠缺真实感。
就不演了，直接动作片，不过开头的节奏挺好的，很刺激，后面柯南滑板飞到空中的那个场景太酷了吧，看到预告也很期待明年的剧场版。
最大的优点是画面干净，海边的几个镜头绝了。导演大概是想用儿童采访的片段与舅甥的相处产生一个互文关系，在我看来，儿童天生的表演性（镜头前-想象中）是一个符合结构的核心表达，也是有趣的，不过实际的呈现有些无力，最后的核心依旧是老生常谈的和解、自我成长。
好看，那些给孩童的采访带出天真却又很现实的回答，探讨父母与孩子的关系，而纪录片外，又有捉摸不透的侄子，与父母的关系拉扯，复杂而有趣。
音乐抢戏得看不进去，或许也因为今天的大事件觉得电影里的谈论都太小打小闹了。
黑白光影下的城市很美妙，孩童和成人的世界相互交织，汇聚成一首献给生命和地球的诗
剧情比我想的略平一点，穿插了大段回忆
充满了哲思的童言童语，学会倾听去化解家庭关系的摩擦与代际，黑白影调特别纯粹，镜头下的美帝竟有欧陆的美，小演员很出彩，文艺独立电影的调调。
1. 这是一个并不苛求深刻、但希冀找寻本真的片子，小演员决定了成功的一大半；2. 这是最近几年看过的极少数做成黑白也完全不违和的片子之一；3. 702、portabrace、做完访谈后旅馆房间里铺满地的设备和零件…做片子的一切都太真实了，不能说可以代入自己，只能说主动投射自己
未来又是什么，你想成为什么样的人，和孩子交流这么深的话题可以吗？
看完有一点难过 不顺意的人 在人生任一阶段都可能重新体验“当小孩”的过程
配乐很好听啊、片头很persona5风格、剧情终于（和前作们相比较为$回归牛顿物理世界了、警校5的设定真的太容易虐了👺

老人与小孩（安哲罗普洛斯），女人与小孩（齐豫），这个是中年与小孩。电影整体凑合吧。演完小丑的菲尼克斯很难突破啊 。。。
3.7分。 这部片子算是回到了麦克·米尔斯的那部《初学者》的水平，大量的闪回画面，看似无意义实则扎着绵密注脚的读书文字，都让我们感受到朦胧和多义的味道。 一个舅舅在缺爱多年后，临时照顾外甥，由此展开了一段有欢喜有烦恼的人生小插曲，在此之中，三个人都得到某种程度的成长。舅舅不再遮盖伤痕，妈妈重新认识了儿子，小男孩有了继续生活的勇气，从底色上依然是美式积极价值观的重拾，但叙述的方式和影像的魅力却不同寻常。成人如何重新定义自己？孩子如何发掘长大的勇气，这个话题可能是贯穿米尔斯电影最为重要的一个命题。
2022/04/28 锦系町 Toho：第一次在日本看柯南剧场版，从98年到现在，历史性的一刻啊
电影完成度还好。然，欲以孩童赤子之心救成人之饱经世事，我以为不可。
