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.
这个版本的波洛就是自大自满，政治正确，自嘲？恶心得一匹！本以为如此琐碎的线索和根本逻辑不起来的逻辑会是不一样的结局，结果结局他妈的是一模一样的啊！真的就有人会傻逼到邀请全是要杀害自己的来参加而且还是蜜月？改的什么逼东西？其实如果凶手改成朋友的话还能自洽一点，因为存在震惊，但是最后故意煽情，完完全全感受不到任何的爱，这个波洛除了会骄傲叫自己的名字和用可恶的眼神害死些无辜的人还能干些啥？最后推理明明白白一坨屎！
比Branagh《东方快车》氛围营造要更像侦探片了，可黑人情节强行塞入得太过火了，生怕ZZ立场不够鲜明，重点是还跟主线基本没任何相关性，爱情的立论空虚得很爆炸。唯一亮点是Tom Bateman的演出。
整体感觉偏无聊，主线故事和第4个故事都挺拉的，故事3一开始不吸引我但结尾人性的叩问有一丝触动。1、2俗套但氛围佳，就是2的鬼显灵有实体后恐怖感骤减，瞬间丧尸片既视感而没有那种毛毛的感觉了。
这部电影的眼神都给神奇女侠和古埃及了，案件实在简单，没有任何惊喜，但比《东方列车》好看点。阿加莎的本格故事经典有余，悬念不足，其实适合拍连续剧。
创新太难，命题作文更难。可以理解，无法原谅。
不理解导演考虑过时代背景吗？同性恋可以公开？还是菠萝公开！当然他在演菠萝吗？不是！他在演他自己。所以他可以删掉上校，继续他自己的特写和动作戏，等等，他是自恋狂吗！是的！看完后，会很难受，让我难受的作品，甚至是愤慨，为什么要给2星！所以1星，够了！
阿加莎·克里斯蒂和她的《尼罗河上的惨案》，在推理界的含金量不言而喻。我已经几乎忘了幼时读《尼罗河上的惨案》的细节，索性就当一次非原著党 重新跟着阿婆来一次埃及探险吧。据说，1933年她和女儿、丈夫沿着尼罗河旅行，成为了《尼罗河上的惨案》的灵感来源。看了一些原著党的评论，其实故事整体框架没变、杀人手法和细节也没变，但即便如此，也无法改变这是一部平庸的推理电影。看完之后并没有通快到要拍大腿的感觉、更没有对案件或人性揭露的惋惜遗憾，很平静地花了两个小时看完，然后轻呼了一口气：「It’s finished.」一艘行驶在尼罗河上的豪华游艇，原本承载着一趟充满亲友祝福的蜜月之旅，可未曾想却酿成了一场连环杀人案。船上的每个人看似都有杀人动机、但似乎又有巧妙的不在场证据。排除了所有的不可能，剩下的无论有多么荒谬 都是真相。
②从东方快车到尼罗河，肯尼思·布拉纳构建的犯罪世界充满了人类最原始的欲望，由欲望带来的阴谋与杀戮，而这种属于人类始祖的激情是无法用现代的法律来制裁的。
It is soooooooo BAD!

先说改编后的人设，为什么这个波洛。丧气又冷血容易暴怒还阴郁。这是波洛？一副厌恶自己的职业厌世的样子。真是够了。再说剧情。之前tv版和78版。女闺蜜的跟踪真的神出鬼没。让人不寒而栗。而且非常神经质。让人相信是会拔枪射杀别人的人。这里改的不管是角色的演绎还是剧情都凸显不了。还是要说，如果肯导这么不喜欢菠萝。真的不要接了。我作为观众已经体会到这种不喜欢了，作为阿婆的淑芬。感觉很糟糕。
整体来看中规中矩，第二个守灵的故事挺有氛围，第三个机械实验的故事也是有这意思的，第一视角有游戏的爽感。
Too many goofs and errors.

第三个故事简直松果体附身！我的san值狂掉啊！第二个故事的氛围感 第一个故事的致敬 反而更喜欢第4个较为搞笑又怪诞的故事
原本不抱什么期待，但这次出人意料，看完还觉得颇有感触。不光是因为新版在当下的语境中进行了“政治正确”化的改写，以及对传统白人英雄的自反意识，更重要的是，如果当你把片中这艘外表豪华、内里却丑陋不断的游轮视作当今地球，多元族群的人物纠缠其中，猜忌、冲突、谋杀……一切就像是今天某处，围绕地缘政治而发生的战争，你说不清道不明，也不知道谁对谁错，但悲剧就悄无声息地突然到来，死亡如影随形。和过去的版本不同，新版始于“一战”——那正是一场基于利益而非公义的人类混战——而按时间推断，也近乎结束在“二战”的前夕，生灵涂炭的大战阴云即将到来，因此整部电影透露出更加压抑、低沉的调子。从这个角度看，肯尼斯·布拉纳此次的处理，除了常规商业类型的操作，更有面对当下世界的某种直觉和预言，有些不寒而栗。为人类和世界祈祷。
说实话，vhs这个形式我是很喜欢的，然后论邪典和血腥也比较到位了，总体满意
为什么疫情后的电影都做这么油腻，和波洛莫名其妙的感情戏一样反胃，肯爵士魔改你妈呢，调色像屎一样生怕不知道这是埃及，从头到尾泡在荷尔蒙里面，肯爵士把自己搞的像个美国土大款兴冲冲买了版权大布景大明星跟着拍。
这改编得没有想象中好看。给波洛加了感情戏，人设和原著也有点偏差，感觉波洛的聪明、幽默、绅士没有展现得淋漓尽致。整个就是观光宣传片，景色更美。剧情推进比较慢，后面案件发生后有一种草草收尾的感觉。留下的印象就是，只有一具具尸体的出现，没有突出人物关系的矛盾，死得无关痛痒似的。节奏太平缓了，没有掀起惊涛骇浪。
