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.
非常不喜欢这片的视角，影片呈现出的这位父亲与所要传达的意义相悖，整个观影过程极度不适！
几近又一部《引见》。在随口胡诌中发酵角色化学反应，逐渐形成圈形人物关系结构。尬聊太多，不免乏味。姜文说过，《鬼子来了》能为了最后一个镜头，把全片都变成黑白。
当成体育明星的传记片看，会收获失望。影片的重点是刻画一位带有瑕疵、偏执而又自负、坚持的父亲。与《摔跤吧，爸爸》对看，都加入了阶层（肤色）差异带来的现实审视，这部更强调明星父母的心理变化和斗争。
居然最佳男主角，是不是为了黑人皮肤的面子，给的？我cao
真是服了
可是抄得不好，摄影机靠理查德或者大威都不够近，难以打动人。加上夹带了不少私货，观感直线下降。
这个片子算是挤进奥斯卡的片子里比较离谱的，我看了一圈没看懂Richard哪里牛逼了，感觉成功全靠大小威天资过人，黑人照这么个方法鸡娃估计成功一次背后会有999个家庭在捡垃圾，反而是母亲的角色很慈爱，堪称伟大女性；那天不知道在哪里看的很有意思，说黑人（成功）靠奋斗，白人靠偏执，当黑人开始偏执，白人开始奋斗（Hillbilly Elegy）观众就不容易relate了；感觉是CODA请的陪衬
比近几年的几部都好一些，幽默感大增所以观影很愉快，加上夹带很多洪导自身状态的私货，看得时候时常被逗乐，感觉是洪导和金敏喜最近状态的自嘲。当然还是少不了聊天喝酒抽烟以及翻来覆去地夸金敏喜，夸得人翻白眼。对，这次有彩色的金敏喜了以及一大波狗粮砸头，就问你酸不酸爽。
为什么老是扫别人的兴
我不知道和真实有多少出入，电影里的大小威她爸简直是个讨厌鬼，固执控制欲卸磨杀驴，所以我没法打高分。
such a Hollywood movie.black is true
相当励志，理查德相当有眼光，及拥有全面大局观，估计他整天都是为女儿着想，当然中途他陷入自我膨胀，不过有家人和教练帮他走出来，如果能更多焦点放入大威和小威心路历程变化就更好了
平庸在于剧本平铺直叙，切入点是大威的成长史，算不上体育片，因为对竞技本身缺乏描绘。糟糕在于对威爸呕心沥血地贩卖成功学，或是借种族的由头对他人指手画脚，也就因为观众知道两姐妹成功了才能忍得了他吧。但对于威爸人物的复杂性形象又仅限于此了，查了一下才知道老先生真的很能来事，戏剧性在于生活本身啊。这种奥系片真的看着没什么意思，尤其是威尔史密斯所谓Oscar moment都太明显了点。
所以金敏喜是加入了一种名叫“爱情”的一神教吗？爱一个男人，与之携手人生，和接拍其他导演的电影，彼此之间是互斥关系吗？女性的爱情生活，牵连到她的事业也具有排他性吗？在女作家的怒斥下，半途灰溜溜败走的男导演，大约代表了洪尚秀在臆想中打败的悠悠众口吧。可是，sorry，我也觉得金敏喜浪费才华与生命。爱一个人，不是会给TA更广阔的天地吗？“女性为了爱情与家庭，自愿、自主放弃和牺牲XX“的美丽叙事打动不了我，这是另一种对女性的精神PUA，是巧言令色的禁足。
难以评价的父亲，毕竟天赋才是更多的决定了一个运动员的上限，如果不是两个女儿恰好有这样的天赋，她们的生活又该有多凄惨？更不用说私生活一塌糊涂，让人敬佩，又难以喜欢
三位天使投资人故事，父亲理查德、教练里克、以及 Nike。Nike 很聪明地在赛前 300 万美元押宝，结果被拒。赛后增加至 1500 万美元才签约。在投资体育明星方面，Nike 真有一套。
美国版摔跤吧爸爸，运动员背后的爸爸们，一定是伟大，同时强势的，有些事也说不情，不过都是人生的路吧
非常不喜欢这片的视角，影片呈现出的这位父亲与所要传达的意义相悖，整个观影过程极度不适！
威廉姆斯姐妹们的爸爸的故事，确实像摔跤吧爸爸，比较平。过于夸大黑人女权主义没必要，我相信大小威肯定不是为黑人女权之崛起而打球，她们妈妈肯定也不会在赛前刻意说女权故事。明明是个传记这样没意思。
这位父亲真的是脆弱又敏感啊
