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.
片子里到处活跃的小joke一看就是山田洋次的作品 结局一般 当年制片厂年代的日本电影 真实又可爱
电影中寺大爷开的剧场，剧场取景地是川越スカラ座。
有真的被戳中情怀的部分，也有实在乏味的老设定。但最后一部分还是让人心软了……
生命还如此漫长，说要放弃似乎还言之过早。生命却又如此短暂，耗尽一生也无法参透。在镜子面前确认着自己是否露出自然的笑容。“尽管要咬牙苦撑，也请你抬起头来吧！眼泪什么的，实在是不适合你呀。”不知从何处传来，那个亲切怀念的声音。
愿能从现实走到荧幕里。。
灯火阑珊，悲欢入梦。时光过处，片甲无存…山田先生，90多岁了，老房着火，煽情请谨慎啊！
好的电影应该是好好讲一个故事，拍出能够铭记的画面，让人们产生共鸣。这部电影都做到了，虽然有小瑕疵但私心觉得可以打到9分。我的2021北影节以它作为结束真的太好了。
山田洋次91岁还来拍献礼片，太厉害了。看得出新冠对剧本的冲击力，导致后期跳跃过多，电影只能是一般。
神也無法搶救的無力感 打咩！打咩！！
我的眼泪不值钱… TT ^ TT…因为苏打看的，结果觉得看了部好电影啊。正值明天迎来上海解封，已经两个多月没去电影院看电影了，结尾守护电影院的片段，尤为触动。
依旧是山田洋次式的家庭空间、女性出走/逃离与最终抚慰式的又多少有点一厢情愿的和解的答案，不过难得的是第一次看到有人而且是年纪这么大的导演，如此直接甚而是有点笨拙地探讨新冠时代的观影体验以及电影和影院空间之于人的意义，只不过最终从银幕里伸出的电影之手，没有真正表现出电影的力量，和很多个角色的肢体表达一样，是过于漫画式的。
3.5……淑子对男主的爱是不是太昭和了，虽然最后女儿读信的时候感动🥲了……但是最后怎么还是自己有点喜欢的大明星拉走了……
对比起同类型深作欣二的《莆田进行曲》实在拘谨了太多太多，而被称为“电影之神”的魔法时刻，早在伍迪艾伦的《开罗紫玫瑰》里用过了。片场部分还能有一些电影激情的展现，后半段则直接垮掉。
松竹100周年纪念电影，向电影致敬，但选取的故事其实跟电影关系并没有那么大，本质上还是山田洋次擅长的家庭题材，电影作为故事的一个纽带串联了过去和现在的两条故事线，电影更多还是一个符号，一个承载了美好的青春的符号，电影可以让一个埋头逐梦的人实现理想，也可以让一个窘困潦倒的家庭走向新生。电影里也有很多迷影的小彩蛋和一些小幽默，整体有些失望，但应该还可以吧
身为无神论者自然无法共情因religion问题引起的动乱。明明身处这样一个街区但丝毫没觉得这家子在困境中乐观生存，反而所有人给我感觉就是喊喊口号然后淡定的“世界纷纷扰扰与我无关”，可能是音乐堆砌太多了，把本就不算很强的冲突紧张感冲得基本不剩。
虽然很喜欢导演和一众演员 但我觉得问题真的很大…
电影里，男主角评价他师父的电影：单看各个镜头都没什么感觉，但组接在一起后却神奇地好看，镜头之间一定住着电影之神吧！——大概这就是我对这部电影的评价，温柔，可爱，充满感情～
没有那么的好，但布拉纳这个我之前没什么好印象的导演这次却足够让我动情。私人的感情夹杂在童年的回忆里，这是对故人、游子最好的礼物。
其他都不错，就是有个疑问，也许是菅田将晖气质太过靠谱了，眼神耶过于真诚了，总觉得他不是会赌博和喝酒的人，以至于老年时那个不靠谱的被家人嫌弃的老头，不像是他会成为的样子～哈哈哈～永野芽郁有点苍井优的味道，特别邻家，没有攻击性。北川景子在这里果真大美人～
为什么看完那么想哭（也确实哭出来了 。这是另一种形式的《开罗紫玫瑰》吗？ 一心一意追随着电影人的“女孩” 之后的生活 ，也是“演员”放弃电影后的生活
