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.
所有的记忆都飘向了第一部上映的2019年，当时还是在香港看的，被粤语翻译的各种人名搞到头大。转眼，真应了A New Era，戏里戏外都在告别。
婚礼对葬礼，死亡对新生。
又回到俺滴英格兰唐顿老家，每个人都看着好亲切。老夫人和Thomas，这整个系列塑造得最成功的两个角色，是新时代却也是一个时代的终结。老夫人的金句直到最后一刻也在带来智慧。Thomas这个一开始令人恨到发抖，最后看到他却有了家人般的安心感，却因为不可言说的原因被剥夺了结局和一个配得上他的告别，我真的会恨！以及马修古迪这个只会开车不着家的渣男，却要大小姐拒绝hugh dancy这种帅哥，暴殄天物啊！真的太喜欢hugh的声音了！还好harry戏份不少让我心生欢喜！唐顿对我来说真的是像梦中的精神家园一样的存在，虽然剧情线也不得不顺应时代，让庄园的生活面对各种新时代的冲击和挑战，可是真的希望时间停止，再梦久一点，真的会怕进入二战时期的唐顿呜呜呜
Again情怀分，导演差不多得了哈，确实没啥新花样了，适可而止吧，这已经是最好的结局了。
每个人每个片段都那么温暖人心 很多女性角色都各有特点 喜欢Cora的眼神 第一部让我深刻领会尊严教养英式优雅与尊重的影视 但观看时需要电视剧相关背景
这是一个关于新旧交替的故事，当唐顿庄园遇到了摩登时代，如何与其融洽并传承。marry接过了祖母管家的指挥棒，借助电影拍摄迅速适应了新时代的变化，父亲通过法国一行回忆祖母年少时的浪漫故事，最后祖母的逝去象征着旧时代的结束，而每个人都在新时代里找到了自己的意义。人物繁杂但刻画细腻，让我一个从未看过唐顿的人都能慢慢理清故事的剧情，油画复古画面极具美感，配乐点缀锦上添花，台词精炼而体现人物特色，金句带着英式独有的幽默频出，这是一部优秀且完美的电影。
😢“Stop the noise～I can't hear myself die.”新世代的唐顿庄园大电影竟然以麦格教授老奶奶的离去落幕 俱往矣
看这部电影，不是因为是唐顿的粉丝，而是怀念疫情前的那段岁月，如同金黄色的阳光洒向铺满落叶的道路，静谧而美好
开头镜头扫过两边亲友席的时候眼泪都出来了55，全是曾经熟悉的面孔。看完六季是三年前的事了，唐顿是为数不多能让我又哭又笑的影视剧了。我将永远将你们铭记在心。你们的悲喜离合曾是我青春重要的一部分。
老夫人值得一个完美的告别。但是，请不要再往下拍了，大家都老得好快。
肉眼可见的剪了众所周知的部分。还是谢谢青天大老爷放行，有得看总比没有强。 （smirk*
加入了迷影元素，却更像流水账了，连英式幽默和煽情都发挥失常。长沙万达解放
A New Era，旧时代落幕新时代开启了。
Downton Abbey也断断续续陪伴了我近10年，还能从Lady Mary口中听到对Matthew的怀念， 从一开始不喜欢Thomas到为他的新人生而激动落泪，还有楼上楼下每一个可爱的人，以及金句制造机奶奶一路走好，无法形容我对唐顿的爱，最后请让唐顿止于此。
挺好的 到这儿结束吧。大家都有美好的结局。连托马斯宝贝都找到了好莱坞明星bf。就这样吧，感恩~
British core最后还是驾驭了Hollywood technique
旧的不去新的不来，于是老妇人成了画中人，那么高贵典雅的伯爵夫人。可曾有人书写她的故事？
British core最后还是驾驭了Hollywood technique
婚姻是长篇小说，不是短篇故事。大表哥再次出来鞭尸哈哈哈，真的太喜欢女主了，这片光顾着看每个人的服饰搭配都看花眼了，婚礼葬礼到末尾的新生，肯定不如剧的质量，而且要兼顾两个地方在剪辑上也很粗暴，有几个镜头转的实在偷懒，但如果看过剧再看这部电影，对角色的感情积淀深一些，也就更感动一些。
无声到有声电影，上世纪三十年代，心目中的黄金时代。喜欢这样工整的电影，从口音到美妙的南法。
