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.
刚看完，剧情很弱剪辑一般配乐挺出彩的，
几个主演都比较hold得住节奏。不过结尾两人一伙的？？？有点莫名其妙
超喜欢小成本密闭空间动作电影，但是看完感觉拍的一般般，剧情上也没能够讲明白，节奏上也是虎头蛇尾，有点失望😞。唯二亮点就是题材和部分风景拍的不错
英国人拍戏比美国人还是有点文化的，把一堆历史梗串起来，还穿插探讨了战争片的拍法。用心了。在美国电影绝大多数沦为样板戏和廉价玩笑的今天，给个5星支持。
就喜欢这种封闭小空间里开始时又实力悬殊的攻防战。监狱里手无寸铁的家伙其实每个都不好惹，而正邪的划分只看谁是疯子。黑人女警的战斗力有点过分了，很明显和她的同事们不在一个世界。整个警察局陷落得有点太轻易了，要是来了一队人马也就算了，一个疯子就搞定了所有人。不过很久没看爽片了，期待这样的多一些。
警察有点菜，女警范很足。一小警察局都能搞得像荒野求生。
此片再次证明，不是所有导演都是盖里奇，也不是所有剧情片都是《两杆大烟枪》。本片话痨悍匪像精神分裂一般的表演最终落得“反派死于话多”的结局也算得其所哉了。除此之外，剧情流于平庸，人物设定突兀，代入感始终不强。黑人女警作为绝对主角凭一己之力捍卫美利坚司法秩序，精神可嘉，大概导演是想表现“种族团结一家亲”的美好希望吧！
男主真是有魅力~女警察也挺好玩的
想起来《守法公民》里也有这么个活宝，也是跟陷落哥一间那位，临死还跟陷落哥吃了顿好的，吃完就被捅脖子了。
以为是个惊悚人性片,结果就是个警匪动作片...
一个弱鸡警察局，一窝都被疯子给端了。自动投狱想被保护的人反而是最不靠谱的，雇佣杀手倒是救了警察。片尾，女警驾救护车去追杀手，是想拘捕还是想入伙？
男主真是有魅力~女警察也挺好玩的
又是一部小场景而靠剧情取胜的电影，在一个边陲小镇的警察局，进来的几个都是凶悍的猛人，看谁活到最后。剧情的设定本是不错，但是过程总是欠了点火候，沸点不到，不然评分应该更高。
影评人不喜欢，但我觉得很有趣。这部电影用一种黑色幽默的手法，把第一次世界大战的偶然性和残酷性都体现了出来。这本是一场不必要的战争，人头滚滚，皇冠落地。一腔热血的年轻骑士死得偶然又毫无意义，但这正是一战的荒诞之处。明摆着瞎编历史，但历史本来荒唐。如果说有什么不足之处，配乐太满了算一处吧，其实不需要这么用力地营造宏大的仪式感。
真的是一个非常漫长的警察局夜晚啊，前期一切都非常平静，两个看似毫无关联的人一起被关进牢房，故事就逐渐展开了，一个职业杀手，一个诈骗犯，一个警察，外加一个警察内应和外部杀手，一瞬间，整个警察局几乎是全军覆没，结局不停的反转，笑到最后的才是赢的人，杀手和警察又开始新的故事去了。整体来说还行吧。
看了半个小时差点放弃，除了女警察，其他警察是不是过于废物了~神经病杀手令人印象深刻。
剧情拖沓，动作戏少得可怜，长大男不讲武德，原来醉酒男才是王者
难怪这么低的分，警察局里的警察都是沙雕，怀疑警察是怎么培训出来的。另外还有些莫名其妙的设计，浪费时间，浪费了演员，编剧水平低于及格分
类似封闭小镇的设置，还是挺有趣的，六分多不了
蛮无趣的故事，后面警察局的大乱杀还是有点看头，也仅限于此。
