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.
男主开庭的事和主线稍显游离不相关，不过倒也说的过去，多少有点影射近几年美国警察枪杀黑人的事。全程充满焦虑感，通过接线救人给自己赎罪，整个设定还算可以
电影很无聊，三星全部给演技，老吉一个人hold住全场
Something is off, compare to Buried and Locke.
美国到底劳动力短缺到什么地步，第二天刑事案开庭，前一天还要正常工作。
故事值三但表演加分 刀仔鋸大樹 只有聲音而真的一個畫面都不給你的電話另一端 算是一場單視覺故事形式主義/方式/技巧的實驗 近乎完全的獨腳戲 加分位 也實驗了單視角認知的狹隘與誤解 英雄黑驚能夠良心發現認罪是現實中不會發生的最圓滿結果
Gyllenhaal自带暴躁警察气质，确实不错
多一颗给男主吧 broken people save broken people
105/ Broken people save broken people..
三颗星都给老吉，整部电影都是老吉的舞台，表演课很精彩！
以前不怎麼喜歡吉倫哈爾，這部片子真是不錯，就耍他一個人。不過那幾位聲音配角也真是不錯。
84/100。在原版的基础上进行了融入美国文化语境的合适嫁接，将这个国家中最见不得光那些黑暗角落有效地插进原本充满悬念性与代入感的故事，将人内心深处积满灰尘的良知放到了光亮下，无情又有情地用罪人的警铃敲响了它尚存的希望。杰克·吉伦哈尔的表演更是为整部电影锦上添花。
a mediocre character study
盲猜是某部北欧电影的翻拍，希望能有新idea吧，而不是一味照抄
杰克的演技有点用力过猛？原电影早就看过了所以剧情没悬念。
心情不穩的人不適合看，主角比你更情緒不穩，看了非常煩躁。成事不足敗事有餘，根本不適合幫助人，誰認識他誰倒楣
无聊压抑，一个人，一个电话，演了一个电影，电影成本只有5000美元电费钱。
暴躁、偏执、情绪化，Jake 能别再演这样的角色了吗。
剧情差，演技绝!男主角不是吉伦哈尔的话看一半就关了
称不上惊悚，最后厕所那段总感觉男主的脸很纠结，想哭没哭出来，特别难受
剧情和2013年哈利贝瑞的剧情差不多，前者一个女主角撑起一部戏。后者一个男主角撑起一部戏。
