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.
而片子其实也“美国化”得到位，到位到几乎是奥斯卡标准参赛片。视听和情节上的一些小设计也足够聪明和抓住人(如音乐会上从父母角度出发“只见其人不闻歌声 只见鼓掌不闻喝彩”的设计，如父亲在卡车上触摸女儿喉部感受声带振动传递歌曲共振的设计)，并且还好知道克制没有乱煽情；作为影片重头戏的音乐 选曲也比较对。
看过法国原版以后就自带免疫了，而且后面的结尾处理真的不OK，戛然而止。
现在看电影我会凭借想象力去想象如果中国去拍会怎样，也会下意识的停下来，恩...这块会被删减。难道我要给下一代人看这些国外拍的电影去了解中国文化吗？
若问使君才与术，何如？
“唱歌对你来说意味着什么”“……生命的最爱”。家人是否理解天赋潜能对孩子的意义，与聋哑等残疾无关。尊重和支持，而不是装聋作哑只顾自身功利，才能化解与孩子之间的隔阂
聋哑人（更广说残疾人）的心理承受能力是与正常人有差距的，所以可以理解母亲希望女儿出生也是哑巴，可以理解他们对于歧视的愤怒。
近读《曾公嘉言钞》，“国藩入世已深，厌阅一种宽厚论说、模棱气象，养成不黑不白，不痛不痒之世界，误人家国已非一日，偶有所触，则轮囷肝胆又与掀振一番”。
一不小心就走心了 这次是每个角色身份交叉感受 反正这家子聚合的能量 好叫人羡慕
一碗励志的心灵鸡汤，但拍的不做作，不刻意煽情，视角选的挺好，聚焦健听女孩的梦想与家庭的冲突。女主的成长线和家庭线并行推进的很扎实，并随着女主一次次的歌唱逐渐推动情绪，在结尾伯克利入学的手语唱歌达到释放与和解，父亲在女儿唱歌时触摸声带感受的部分，催泪又辛酸，最后的一句Go足见父女深情，有时候人生总是充满着矛盾与选择，但是总有希望和温暖。（8.5/10）
为学校那段无声的聆听，及考场那段带手语的双重语言歌唱，加一星
关于爱，关于被爱，虽然我的世界没有声音，但我仍然会在台下听你歌唱。
影片流畅、完整，视听平平，故事俗套、过时，很多时候我以为在看2002的片，内核非常顺直白人。
用抽不开身作为最大的摇摆麻烦
在个人境遇的转变和人物对比中，试图揭示困扰至今的传统与现代、东与西之争的答案的文人电影。由文人转为博物学家（naturalist）的主角，似乎向我们展示了该如何定义“知识”，继而提供了可能的解答。
后面有点泪目，歌真不错，不知道法语原版怎么样，期待。
知道是美式鸡汤，但还是要喝，很有味道。人性中的美好如同女主纯真的美，是共通的。
整体还行……你们美利坚能不能别再照搬不动的翻拍出世不久的外国电影了
这一家人不免让人联想到《阳光小美女》，但这家人更有爱，其实每个人加点“缺点”（各自面临的问题）就好了。
是好看的故事片，但今年最近影片有点过了，大概率是苹果操作的。 这是电影的小电影，最佳影片怎么也得是big cinema 吧？
情感迟早穿越受体。
