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.
挺不错的本子，可以改编成舞台剧，增加一些戏剧性应该会更好。缺点明显，但是挺好看的。
狐狸成精盗天书，猥琐和尚俏仙姑，民脂民膏聚宝盆，权色暴毙抓交替，飞虎吃人逗皇帝；一次失败的BBC中外合作让众艺术家放开了手脚玩，个中隐喻讽刺远高于当下动画
關於神靈與超自然力量的奇異想象，鮮明迷人的藝術特色，誇張靈動的造型色彩和動態，分明是中國的表現主義啊。
当官的手下是坏的，
纵观中国动画电影史，这部片子在当今仍不过时，它有着匠心的画面与人物设计，有趣且奇幻的故事内容，真正达到了中国动画电影追求的「奇、趣、美」。
抱歉，我只看到了34分钟。该影片的主人公是那么的乏味 尬笑 自愚 ……
近期重新回味了下
这动画片就是奇谈，做得多么好，足够叫现在的人汗颜啦，太可爱了！
年少时最喜欢的中国动画
真的很喜欢中国那个时期的动画片！童年的美好回忆。真的比现在的喜羊羊之类的好很多啊！
我也不清楚小时候特别爱看动画片的我为什么没看过这部动画片。看片明以为是个框架很大的故事，没想到是个格局很小的一个故事。剧情很简单，一句话就能概括：小孩除妖的故事。故事适合全年龄段观看。袁公简直就是中国的普罗米修斯，相比于师父的大格局心态，天庭玉帝却是小心眼。直接表达了上层阶级对下层阶级对于资源的封杀与统治，这种改编对于权威的辛辣讽刺非常大胆。同时影片还讽刺了普通百姓的封建迷信、官场的利益熏心和愚昧贪心的皇帝。而且本片对于反派角色的描写比主角还要多，还要丰富和立体。反派一伙人的戏份明显比蛋生要多。美术很棒，水墨画风格现在看也很美。配乐也是一流的，而配音演员则是非常强大的阵容。这才是纯正的中国特色的动画电影。由于我没有这片的童年情怀，所以我只能给四颗星。毕竟现在看来多少有些过时了。8分。
我觉得挺好看的啊 不说那些专业词汇 也不引经据典 就单纯这一个小时 我是投入进去了的 看到了人类社会的变革 阶级矛盾 两性关系 现代婚姻的本质 女性的挣扎 人生的意义 好与坏 美与丑 善与恶 就在一念之间
雖是給兒童看的動畫，卻處處隱含著對現實社會的批判，寓意深刻，意味深長。
民俗集中营，BBC撤资，审查宽松，客观成就了一次放开手脚的国产喜剧动画回归。歌舞段落，武侠致敬，噱头配角，明星配音，符合西方价值的中国普罗米修斯。动画人设个个富有奇趣，灵感来自年画、门神、戏曲等。//2021修复重映，杜比影厅：片尾有一个小纪录片，讲到动画追求“奇、趣、美”，上美厂老厂长要求“不重复别人，不重复自己”，老艺术家们住在一个院子里，一起创作，很了不起。修复版配音还是原来的，配乐是上海交响乐团重新配的，原配乐用了很多传统民乐、80年代合成器，今天看来仍然很时髦。
记得小时候看到狐狸老太婆还挺怕的，太恐怖了
几个反派实在太出彩，尤其是三头狐狸精，活灵活现，应该发个最佳配角奖。女狐狸精还是很传统的形象，不像现在多是大胸长腿，此种变化大概可以算作妖怪的#身体政治#吧。
适合晚上睡不着时候看，不错的小品或者舞台剧。
真正的民族电影，从造型、布景到音乐、故事，太多可以考究的了。
小時候就就覺得很好看啊！不知道為什么現在的中國動畫這么難看
感觉非常伍迪艾伦？三位名角演技了得，可是中途开始疲软到最后。。。这究竟是剧本故事本身的问题还是节奏的问题呢？
