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.
我看到了一个评论，简单的说就是韩国在描述人性，日本在描述小人物的日常，印度在描述他们种姓制度下的一个奇特环境，而我们呢？？？
一部电影，反映了多个社会问题，编剧太强了
太精妙了，片中每一个人物都是一枚随波逐流的纸片棋子，不停地被分解和建构..仔细看就会发现片子里象征世俗正义的那帮人，说到底不过在履行自己的道德和权益——因为本该如此；反叛道德秩序那帮人也在行使自己的价值和权利——因为全世界的人都知道事实上就是如此。眼看着周围的邻居们思索思索再思索—创造，我们也惊呼要增强民族自信，柔和一些——喏，折中的温暖现实主义。而那些只能隔海相望的这帮电影朋友，脸上带着兴奋的潮红，惴惴不安地沉入剧情，朝着我们想都不敢想的刀刀见骨的现实主义失控驶去..
这剧本太有张力，最后几分钟怎么像下一部的预告片
处于水深火热绝境的当地人估计没机会看到这片，估计也看不懂，不如趁热喝点白牛浆拜拜神衹。善恶对抗的情节，情绪调动的高潮迭起，但作为电影挺low的
其实电影拍的比较一般，尤其受不了一直铺陈的不太和谐的背景音乐，这配乐就是一个目的，煽动你、刺激你，再就是那么多的慢镜头让人直翻白眼，好好讲个故事不行吗，估计是为了印度的电影院效果，最后就是这部电影触碰的话题，警察腐败、教育制度、政治操纵、媒体渲染等等体制的问题也基本都是被串联了起来的事件，并没有哪个体制的问题被真正的深挖出来，而且这些都不是一个人的问题，如果一个所谓的坏人投入到这样的体制里，不会有出淤泥而不染的人，两个小时40分钟，还是有点冗长。
现在印度的电影大多都是讲反种姓、人权反面的，并且拍得越来越有意思，这部的剧情反转，更是拍出了新高度。“即溶正义”，法律和正义不总是一样，鞭笞继续吧。
之前看过数次罗翔老师的那条视频“律师为什么为坏人做辩护”，看了这部电影终于理解其含义。一个律师，不仅站在群情激愤的对立面推进程序正义，甚至站在昏庸的法律体系、草菅人命的政治体制、遗害千年的种姓制度的对立面来推进正义。庭辩的精彩程度不如同类的几部神作，但整个电影的思想高度是我们难以望其项背的。
7.5
确实是不错，让人有很多的触动和思考，如果后面没有那么多政治元素，也许会更好一点。
依然是这种主题依然发人深省依然存在每个角落
多重反转，揭露批判了种姓制度、学阀和官僚腐败，精彩。
阿三也开始跟进棒子的步伐了，社会出现什么问题，用电影实时反馈给社会
关于舆论操控我建议看有关《We become what we behold》游戏的视频，会有更深的感悟。
熬过前一小时，后面惊喜不断。印度针砭时弊的片子也够大胆，而只有这样敢于反思，敢于自揭伤疤的民族，国家和人民才有希望和未来呀。
民众的声音太好引导了
2小时30分，再次反转，之后应该没有反转了吧，律师果然是男主。
（８／１０）两个独立的故事。三筱终于有专属篇章了。
众所周知印度电影的长度动辄两三个钟头，所以他们是非常有经验如何让一部长片不使人倦怠的，我上次看的这么痛快还是复联四呢。电影前半部分细致的铺陈出一个罪案的始末（女教师被残忍的强奸杀害并焚烧尸体，副警督很快抓了犯人又迫于压力退出，最后不甘心手刃罪犯），后半部分几乎全是法庭戏，但极其精彩，反转接反转，并且节奏合适，对比深刻，谁是圣人？谁又是恶魔？虽然律师最后慷慨激昂的陈词确实不像法庭上该有的，但这些话放在那里确实震撼效果最好，女教师当然知道自己在以卵击石，但她还是做了，即使以身殉道也无怨无悔。替丈夫申冤被害的妻子，替女儿讨说法的母亲，因身份和导师偏见歧视迟迟无法毕业自杀的女生，都站在她身后，她们代表的是国家的尊严。结局大坏蛋并没有浮诛才是现实的，但微光已经点亮，希望已经存在。
中文翻译成宿敌是什么鬼，直译过来应该是人民的名义才对嘛！
