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.
结尾随即陷入无尽的仓促生硬反转之中。
谁和我一样只是一个瞎起哄的文青，眼见都不一定为实，何况是在政治乌云下布的局。网络时代不做那个带节奏的愤怒青年！
是啊，人民的意志不应该成为政客手中权利的游戏。
8分。一人，一狗，一AI robot，在末日地球的故事
至少在电影这个行业，我们现在是被印度这个“拥有13亿人口的大国”远远甩在后边了，望尘莫及。
像风沙一样干，就像开着每一部西部公路片的破房车，二人组换一个核能液压AI养狗机器人，新冠停工期去各大灾难丧尸复联四片场打了一转，选择拍一段某中国导演的某禁片。正当汤老汉歇菜我以为准备不需要演员开始正片时我丢了个球
题材大胆，多重反转，已经很好看了，秒杀如今的一众国产电影
题材不错，反转还行，剪辑和节奏不太行，少用点升格就好了。
很久没看过这么精彩的主旋律电影了，配乐尤其出彩，而且剧情也没拖后腿，看到结局的时候内心真是五味杂陈，没什么好说的，我只希望这部电影能进明年的豆瓣年度电影榜单。
甚至无须作鞭辟入里的有力剖析表达，
过于脸谱化了。当然商业电影的目的就是为了满足尽可能多的人的观影需求。在印度具有广大的被种姓制度压迫的底层民众以及长期处于不平等地位的女性群体。这类电影很容易激发民粹主义，后半段的反转给予了警示。
结尾反转略显刻意，电影的主题和情绪煽动性极强
立意超高的电影，案中案，反转又反转，寻求正义的群众看完会高潮的那种爽片——只不过最后揭秘副警督和律师的背景那部分可以不要，对于一部宣传社会正义的价值观，应当是法理和道德律双重约束下的群体性正义，是如同片名（也是印度国歌）的《Jana Gana Mana（人民的意志）》，而不应当是因果报应这种玄学命理，那就格局小了；尤其是还要暗搓搓铺垫续集的引子，唉，那格局简直是开始歪了……
半小时弃。其实不怎么样，镜头、表演本身就乏善可陈，叙事更是没头没脑，从开头的抒情到校长的讲话再到受害者向学生发表的空洞务虚的说教，再到学生们发动抗议活动，来龙去脉、矛盾冲突何在，全都交代不清。
1.议程设置是如何一步步遮蔽、修改真相的
仅体制谋杀这一点，
不管这部片子中的反转有多少是可实现的，逻辑是不是缜密，但是不妨碍这是一部非常有力量的影片，整个积极向上，每个人物都有昂扬的精神内核。从头到尾都被深深吸引，看完觉得热血沸腾。
起初以为是关于程序正义的片子，结果正邪的多次反转有点超乎预料。但学生群体真的是没看到长进，始终被情绪牵着走。总体而言是很有力量的片子，几首歌的歌词也都很好。
作为退学博士，
当媒体不是传播真相而是制造舆论成为权利作恶的工具时，每一个推波助澜的平民都是权利的帮凶。幸运的是，印度平民手里还有选票，每一次的清醒都让他们更加成熟。
