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.
来自魏玛共和国的人生切片。同时也是古典和现代，视觉与叙事风格的拼贴。青年知识分子的彷徨、窘迫和小小的浪漫。一点点命运感、仪式感（“十分钟之后，他的爱人将会出现”）和悲剧性（最后被意外击沉），其实这或许是一种创作者的手下留情：如不在意外中被击沉，就将在时代中被击沉。
除了太长没什么毛病！实在是太爱Tom Schilling了！
6.法比安找到失踪已久，自甘堕落的朋友，看着周围人荒诞无稽的样子，也许堕落的朋友才是真正清醒的人
充满浪漫的文学基调，最珍贵的东西存于世上已经需要付出代价：困苦、受创、不为时代所容。任何时代都一样，此刻也一样。
有张力而混乱不能算神作因为我看到云里雾里，但是确实有让人看下去的动力
世界很糟糕，但仍然有人想好好活着。但最后他没有成功。
“我有另外一份工作，生活。”
看到结局心脏骤停。迷乱、不安、躁动、未知，历史的点滴体现在日常生活里。
看不得这种揪心的东西
四部剧场版最后看的这部，剧情2星，多一星给鬼舞辻无惨。这样剧情的动画片看多了就觉得一般般了。
开头看得头昏脑涨胸口闷，四分之一过后才渐入佳境，故事并不复杂，友情爱情简简单单，但为了契合那段德国历史的分崩离析状态，没有HE结尾有点无奈
非常好的魏玛共和国时代片，讲述了德国知识分子的精神与肉体是如何死亡的。
一个人的博士后论文被告知写得差不予答辩，结果有多可怕？结果就是法比安的富家子弟朋友拉布德陷入自我怀疑，沉迷酒色，最后给自己额头来了一枪。
有一种电影属于“我能get到它的点但就是看不进去”
Martin Eden -Undine-Fabian
历史的沉重铁幕即将铺盖阴影前的末世狂欢与悲恸 命运的阴差阳错与不可避免交织
4.法比安为女友写面试台词，女友深受感动，俩人隔着玻璃接吻，预示相爱的两人地位即将发生变化
我们对一切都兴致盎然
感觉好像是把动画串起来，凑够了2小时，最后也没见打BOSS，还得看下部，感觉自己被骗了55
LERNEN SCHWIMMEN!
