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.
在流放地，做个黑色的无名者。明净之物，可寄托我心。
影片中对王朝制度的批判、对出世入世的哲学刻画、对历经生事沉浮后人性光辉困兽犹斗的体现都引人沉思，令人感慨
“贱民”似乎与美国的黑奴一样的性质，美国那边现在真的实现了人人平等，而印度的“贱民”们虽受到了宪法的保护，然而时至今日他们仍没有得到所有人的尊重，不过，看了这部电影，对印度成为一个更美好国家抱持无比的信心。我们自己也加油！！！
“既然无法学以致用，那便按我的性情活着好了。
惊了，韩国居然拍了一部这样的电影出来！丁若栓的思想太广大了，已经不是那个时代容得下的了。
m21309：为印度精英左广告？根源是什么？
男主有点过于性感了，片子里更了不起的其实还是那个连自己名字都不会写的部落女人
这也太强了吧！这辈子头一次看了三分之一就冲过来打五星了，宣发没到位吧！获奖太少了吧！（语无伦次中
韩国电影题材广，而且敢于揭露国家的阴暗面，”百姓把地当做农田，官员把百姓当做农田”，官场黑暗和文人自我修为间的冲突，传统儒学文化和西学的冲突，，本来应该是我们最贴身感受，却被韩国人拍出来，真是遗憾。黑白画面返璞归真，蓝鸟的生命力太震撼了。
原来他们那也有JC任意拘捕屈打成招的恶性事件，然而电影并没有拍成一部一般意义的爽片，弱者并没有使用简单的暴力去反抗，相反，他们选择了最难的法律武器去维权，幸运的是法律最终真的保护了他们——“贱民”们，或许这就是法治最大的魅力吧。
一村一世界，一朝一枯荣
警察破坏法律，法官遵纪守法，律师天神下凡，简直狗屁不通~
意识形态色彩过浓，全靠CP思路增添娱乐。不过拍成这样已经不错了
以此电影为例，从中展现出来的韩国影人的生命力和技艺，足以称得上是一种工匠精神。内地影人和市场应该自省，应该惭愧，应该学习。
有一年中秋，独自往衢山岛，至夜，月满，于海边礁石上抱膝听海，吟诗抒怀。是袁崇焕的一首七律，是讲知己之情，而我只一人，觉得孤独无比。
理学，儒学，基督教，哲学，官场，吃人...前面畅快后面纡郁
这样的故事居然是出自《兹山鱼谱》序文，真的很厉害。大量的汉元素，希望我们自己也能拍出这样优秀的电影。
我来说句大实话吧，这部电影的气质跟黑白色调一点都不搭
士大夫在黑暗的现实中，发出了：“学问无错，错的是用他的人”的呼声，并用宗教思维重新设想了未来，对无王的世界进行了畅想（可以理解为对人权的理解吧）。
看到这种题材真的很感慨，中国现在电影一边大型商业剧作，一边小众私人文艺，零零碎碎的传记片也是近百年的人物，对于古代那些人物也只是大概从课本中知道，这种经过创作编写的人物传记片子少之又少，更何况走人大众视野。中国的文化和故事都被浪费和遗忘光了。
