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.
作为谍战剧 不够有反转，作为感情剧，不够刻骨铭心
色调压抑，节奏悲凉，一些爱而不得……做人不能什么都害怕，尤其不能害怕自由！
老马利克了，惊悚/恐怖标签快撤了吧，别误导观众了
同志片+探案片的新型影视题材，可惜国内永远看不到
在与世隔绝的山野深处，从超自然的恐怖警言里谱写诗意的篇章。我形塑我自己，身体成为最不重要的介质，如同语言不再依靠声带的震动，意志在生命间流淌，更超脱出新的价值，从好奇、救赎到普世的爱。（Félix一如既往地🉑️
所以老妇玛利亚最后不甘心地问: 为什么一切对你这么容易？
喜欢这个设定，女巫的身份变幻本身就是对男权中心制之下诞生的“存在论”的质疑，她是生成－女人，也是生成－动物，她的失语由上一代女巫（她也是女性所遭受的一切伤痛的历史化身）所造成，在她的呓语中存在着一种永不间断的韵律，“然而……然而……然而……”
一位孤独的老女巫，一名无辜的女婴，奇怪的组合，小女巫长大后体验人生百态，只想融入人类社会，成为一名真正的人，为此不断杀人，换躯壳，然而到了最后，为了救自己的孩子，她却只能放弃人类身份，也让她的孩子复生成为女巫。这个故事虽然有血浆片段，老女巫妆容也跟火燎过一样，基调却是偏文艺的，能让人感受到那种巨大的孤独，给7分吧。
能拍到这样也算不错了，毕竟是80年代的视角。前半段80分，后面30分钟60分！
《羊崽》之后，状态神勇的Noomi Rapace如常交出充满生命力的表演；会让人不断地感觉她的不可取替，以及在某类电影中拥有绝对位置的能量。你不是“人”，是端出面包和炖菜的工具，是负责持续生产的“机器”；镜头将故事倒回之前，持续沿着近年来为本土热爱的《夜莺》《朱迪与潘趣》，探索观察跨越时间的性别故事。当然在这之外。本身还想要创造更为感官上的恐惧与绝望；它的成品独特，并且不吝任何表达，这让人感觉到它还有更多。
7.5/10 Má vlast and group masturbation
只看了一半 只记得那个男主很帅 太像诗歌吧台词
类似的电影有一些了，所以有点似曾相识的感觉。电影本身还是拍得挺不错的，节奏有点赶，要是拍成剧效果应该会更好。
男主的搭档开头提到男主害怕血。、、?
这世界灼烧着，痛苦着，这世界让人刺痛，让人恶心，然而...然而...。我的年度十佳，安排上了。
3/5 | “做人不能什么都怕，尤其是惧怕自由。”
越来越多导演的处女作走coming of age horror的路线。我真的非常吃这一套。Naomi的那一段真的给我看哭了，眼泪啪啪掉。剧本写的太太太美了。Man want eyewater. But I have none of them. 作为女人却从没有学会流泪，而是在做那个英俊的男人的时候为了死去的小女孩痛哭。With a woman, I am glass. With a man, I am water。结合昨日新闻真的看的心痛难忍。
整体基调是黑的。一句我会找到你，哭晕了。。。不滥交的同性是yyds。磕到了
遇到了还在上大学，向往自由，不羁的男生之后，似乎被他所吸引，一个个眨眼之间，满是深情，一个吻，把小警察的意识唤醒了
本来以为是邪典cult片 看完整个一个沉默+emo
