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.
以小见大，深入浅出。将covid和痴呆症勾连起来，用一位社会loser的应聘撬开被遗忘的、看不见的底层的故事。小人物在大时代动荡下被遗弃被遗忘被牺牲，这才会有"亡命鸳鸯"，才会有那段愤怒的独白。回望被lock down的那些时光，回想曾出现在我们自己土地上的许许多多真实事件，谨记要善良，要宽容，不要互相遗忘。
热评的这些是舔出了优越感了么？片子是好片子，不同视角审视反思社会的不足恨触动人，但吐酸水的真的还是早点移民吧。
朱迪科默今年奉献了两部非常精彩的表演，灾难来临最先受难的永远都是弱势群体
一线医护工作者：NO！
前半小时跟拍女主进入疗养院，结识47岁便患有阿尔兹海默症的男主。
7.9三星半，感觉很复杂，一方面觉得片子说的这事真的很有深度，另一方面又觉得这个故事太简单剧情太空。个人对抗体制完全无解，甚至连呻吟都叫不出来。大英这群体免疫真的是坑死这些弱势群体了，甚至可以怀疑是政府故意的，清理这些所谓低端无价值的人口，哎，苦了这些护工真的关心弱势群体的人了。
感觉结尾是个败笔、、配乐很会渲染气氛。朱迪科默的演技好不错
真没想到help会让我流那么多眼泪...细腻 直觉 以小见大 富于情绪，这些正是无论何时总能触动我的方式，而她的表演在这里功不可没，也使那些业已"平常"的质问再次变得如此振聋发聩。
最后字幕用一种可怜兮兮的语气说护工的时薪是8.5磅……唉…………
疫情背景中的作品。利物浦普通的护理院，护工和住客在“灾难”时刻的经历，温馨交织绝望。在荧幕之外，这场风波依然还在继续着，只能盼望2022会更好一些。
看到Jodie饰演的护工在照顾了一夜的感染新冠病人之后痛哭的时候
对我来说，疫情背景真的能带来特别面还是太少了，除了无力善良，忙来忙去，解释了援助这个完整动作，更多的好像也就没了
全程看朱迪科莫那张无瑕疵的脸我是没意见，只是老跑焦受不了。本片导演对摄影有病态的执念，手持、长镜头、大特写，这三件事偏要同时做到，是要用画面给观众增加压迫感吗。
演技真棒！吐槽政府不作为 ，相对来说我们的政府确实是要拍一个中国医生来歌颂一下了
看过的第一部讲述新冠疫情的电影，没有什么高大上的人物形象，只有平凡人的恐惧无助和茫然，最后女主的质问才是全片最精彩之处。
片子在情感表达上不是特别能引起共鸣，但是人家的媒体，人家的影视制作肩负着监督zf作为的重任，加颗星
剧情本身而言拍得很现实，让人很难受。
最冲击人心的肯定是凌晨的求救，莎拉的大骂与痛苦已经足够揪心，而最令人难过的则是走廊里的声控灯和手机里111的自动语音，那种无助，没有一丝希望的绝望，以及第二天早晨换班护工的you are a good girl，细节同样直击人心。
20220508 JC BAFTA三年两封
朱迪的表演真的是将自己完全献给了角色，演什么是什么。仅一个半小时时长的影片，却又时间跨度大且情形多次激化，大半都是靠演员尤其是主演的演技撑着。
