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.

与第一归正会同样的基调。酷哥的爱，tough love是也
7.5 施拉德赋予的独特气质，使其不同于其他美国电影。
太难看了…配乐一响起来就困到不行…
算牌是一层幌子，掩盖了痛苦，在Cirk那条短信后创口被活生生撕裂血肉模糊，走向黑暗的方向，我看的时候整个人都在抖。结尾有点看到《好时光》，“I’ll take you home”，对这种注脚是爱与温情的实在没有抗拒力。对伤痛电影的理解愈发深刻了….

Absolutely underrated. Dense and tense.
如果集中营里的那些纳粹士兵们呐喊他们也是受害者，反正我是不认的！
与第一归正会同样的基调。酷哥的爱，tough love是也
施拉德这样的人有多宝贵，他对黑色电影语境的界定犹如自我编撰的“罪人”背负十字架一遍遍在轮转的自我鞭挞中自省、内置，隐忍，教诲意义不在于对人的警示和震慑，而是那种由内的精神超脱。反高潮处理几乎与一切类型模式对着干，对现代精神萎靡现象的痛斥，对资本的不屑，对情感淡化的抵触，大喊USA的精神爱国者不加掩饰的嘲讽好似丑角。除去对他本人文艺精神的赞叹和片中几处意象化处理，情节设置问题还是挺大的，节奏把握和情感线的落差实在是无法忽视，Issac倒是眼神够味儿
【4】延续了《第一归正会》的观感和主题：过往伤痕、毁灭与自我救赎。片面地说风格像更迷幻的布列松。一些堪称“奇观”的调度太迷人了。
确实不是我喜欢的类型，还挺斯科塞斯的。最后高潮没推起来，男主以为自己被救赎了那里跟小孩一样表演出问题了
配乐挺好的，监狱里的那段画面挺喜欢
男主很有腔调了...但整部片子实在是乏善可陈。恐吓小老弟别去犯罪回去找妈妈那段还行，其他对话表演都很尬...反正不太能领会虐囚后PTSD的情愫
四星半。與前一部《First Reformed》相似，關於一個男人的自我救贖。表現PTSD回憶的魚眼鏡頭很好；Oscar Isaac演技仍然細膩，演活這種孤獨、堅毅卻又脆弱的角色。
奥斯卡太辣太帅了，剧情比较平淡，但是结局还不错
老中青三代男神都救不了的拉胯。9分的摄影风格，1分的剧本和对白。装逼过头的莫名其妙
屋子里的东西都用白布包起来，到了前上校家，也是全都包起来的。you woke something in me. 可能是这个女人使得男主恢复了人性，他不得不去照顾这个男孩，他本来已经非人化了，他可以一直机器一样的存活下去。但是他被唤醒之后，就没法再机械的活着，他必须解决那个老头子，他必须面对自己旧日的罪恶。整个故事非常缓慢，可以说是一个平平无奇的故事，但还是看的很认真。都是面瘫表演，但是奥斯卡伊萨克的冷漠表情就很让人觉得恐怖啊，他那双眼睛仿佛联通了地狱，这还真不是一般人能演出来的。
关于救赎的故事，赌场只是背景，预告片和正片是两部电影。
没想到是忏悔录 跟赌博其实没几毛钱关系 节奏是真的慢 剧情也是靠猜
