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.
还不错，PTA强烈的个人风格。而且这个恋爱谈得还蛮好的🥰 西区故事起码是个唱跳剧，水平不知。除非它连着三年给亚洲人，不然我觉得PTA不定今年还有封的希望[18-03-2022 完球，犬之力可能要封]
很难相信孩之宝拉上EONE和netflix就做出这么个玩意儿，它存在的唯一意义就是证明了小马四代的成功就只是个happy accident ！！
PTA的风格依然迷人，视听剪辑还是强大，但对于这个故事还是接受无能。
甘草披萨，黑胶唱片，往日情怀。拍电影是一件私人的事情，但如果电影只拍导演自己知道的事情，那就要有准备观众没那么多共情。这部电影是在PTA的老家圣费尔南多谷拍的，据女主阿拉娜·哈伊姆说，这个角色是PTA为她量身打造的，了解PTA和女主一家关系的话，就会知道此言不假。不过，小男孩的初恋也好，女主是自己喜欢的人也好，背景是自己的老家也好，看得出注入了不少感情也好，电影里塑造的这位女主，真的会喜欢男主这个小孩？电影用两个多小时的时间刻画了男女主性格的不同，成熟姐姐喜欢不成熟小弟弟的可能性太低了，但结局就是要在一起。也许这就是PTA心中的爱情吧，没有道理、莫名其妙。
大美女人设应该大美女来演；可能预期过高了，整个阅片过程都很别扭难受，如坐针毡两小时
年少的你遇到生命中的那个她，她却比你年长几岁并笑你的稚气未脱。你使出浑身解数来启动无数的商业点子来证明自己的成熟，但间隙中还是透露出你孩子气的一面。她回归到自己认为成熟的生活，当回想起不顾一切狂奔的日子，嗯，或许这才是爱吧。
PTA不当大师要当爱情守门人，这心态就很牛批
看了PTA四五部片子，反而是这部风评最差的对了我的胃口，值得反复拉片的摄影和剪辑，主人公脸上合时宜的青春痘，大时代下迷惘混沌又恣意蓬勃的小青年，被时代推着滚动前进，像美国风情画一样的剧本，多少是有些散漫，但绝不是个小格局的糖水片
7.5/10。PTA用回忆和想象堆了个属于70年代的Sandy Castle，然后自己一个人跑进去开心地玩了起来——艺术创作者们或许都会有种「幼稚地任性」式的自觉，只不过PTA这次玩脱了。
友谊和爱情在这部片不断切换着，以为导演在弄什么关子。看完之后才后知后觉，这不就是青春爱情故事吗？双方在互相吃醋，斗气，最后因为某件事才觉得对方的好。只不过在PTA导演的镜头和美国6，70年代的风格滤镜下，才遮掩住这俗套的爱情故事吧。
有几场戏还是不错的，轻描淡写地就画出了70年代美国的精神颓废。
#第一部PTA# 复古基调，琐碎叙事，别样青春，纯真爱情。我还蛮喜欢的。
一对维系奇怪关系的男女的故事。有时候，爱情不是人生的必需品。
【6.5=】难得找回了几年前的一点欢乐。制作组就像后复联时代的漫威，一边说着要推陈出新一边又不舍老角色的大腿，甚至一些有意思的小设定还以另一种形式继承了下来。但除了主角团的戏份差距外，整个故事的结构也相当不平衡。90分钟的时长还是承载不下这么多内容，一通赶之后依然只能机械降神。不过值得表扬的是，终于塞了几个看起来有点现实影子的角色，起码让这个世界观不是那么浮于幻想。虽说只是新玩具的推广品，但是横向对比同年从主题到故事都同样陈旧的《夏日友晴天》，似乎也没有太差劲，起码马还是比人要可爱点。
第一次在Edinburgh Filmhouse看电影；作为一部PTA也太无聊了…everybody seems to be walking right out of some shitty porn…果然中年男人怀旧就只剩下插播时代金曲和国际大事了
之前的神驹是陆马都那么厉害，这次换成独角兽我都不敢想象她能做出什么事情
补标。大概是第一部全程无感昏昏欲睡的PTA了……
看起来很随意的样子，反派无脑低幼，只能说是个半成品吧。
很难相信孩之宝拉上EONE和netflix就做出这么个玩意儿，它存在的唯一意义就是证明了小马四代的成功就只是个happy accident ！！
剧情并不低幼，还挺内涵。小马又美又萌又可爱，招人喜欢，歌也好听。闺女问我最喜欢哪只小马，我纠结半天选了一个，结果她说，我都喜欢！
