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.
一贯发光发热的金句与小细节让渡于追求普遍共情的大框架，角色们的成长与转变过于俗套反而失去了坂元剧本那种怪招频出的惊喜（特别是最后引入的一组与主角两人相对照的年轻情侣更是一大狗血败笔）。或许坂元裕二的风格就是要靠无聊的对话与细节，用十几集日剧的体量慢慢熬才能看出味道。另外我讨厌的一点是：无论是甜蜜也好受挫也好，一切都太干净了，缺少了在坂元很多故事里都体现出的危险元素，这样的故事只能沦为安慰剂而已。不过倒是也符合一种“文艺青年”的实相。
像是日本版《爱乐之城》？
男主可塑性非常强，很有质感。
阪元裕二大荧幕，稳👍
-我心脏跳动的声音盖过了吹风机的声音
常见的“因陌生而相爱、因熟知而分手”的故事，但因充满坂元裕二式的细节而充满灵动，尤其是初识段落，微妙的试探与触碰真像是重演了一遍无数人都曾拥有过的时光——即使后来都变成一根根扎在心里的刺，然而当时笑得那么甜，真的以为可以天荒地老或抵挡一切外在干扰；所谓“开始是结束的开始，相遇伴随着离别”永远不会缺席，在生活漩涡的摆弄下，我们仍会滑向无法自控的背道而驰；最痛的大概就是删去手机里记载着每个时间节点的照片。
如果早几年看到这部电影我一定会哭得不成样子，会觉得那就是我的故事，连从相恋到分手的时间跨度、在朋友婚礼之后选择分手这样的细节都如此相似。以前觉得是工作的压力让人改变，现在不会了。爱好再相似的人也会有深层的不同。现在的我依然会为那些由此相恋的年轻人感到高兴，却不会再认为这就是最好的爱情。Ps. 他们去电影院看的竟然是阿基的《希望的另一面》/ @电影博物馆
文艺青年能想到的最浪漫的爱情，在初识的雨夜奔跑，文艺爱好百分百合拍，告白后在红灯前拥吻，在出租房连续做爱一周，在有大阳台的房子同居，在新年参拜捡到一只猫，然后因为长时间的消耗和平分手，在旧地缅怀过去，还会在下雨时候想起你，像极了渴望爱又不相信爱的人们的幻想。
这个结尾看得人心想：别活了，我也别活了，你也别活了，大家都别活了。
如同曾經的我們的故事 我永遠記當初在人海中找到你的喜悅 我記得我們也曾試過在半夜放棄一套難看的電影選擇去做愛 也記得你在宿舍目送我出門interview的眼神 我們也曾約定在車站漫步走回家 那段路上互相分享今天的遇到的人和事 我永遠記得在第一天在新家過夜時 腦中滿是期待新生活的喜悅和雀躍 我們會互相分享不經意發現的新食店 約定找天去試 幻想在家附近偶遇流浪貓後抱走 懷中抱著新買的綠植牽手走回家 中環碼頭的摩天輪還是沒有機會一齊坐呢 曾經何時我也以為這就是永遠 我們永遠不會被現實打敗 謝謝7年的陪伴
8.0+
这叫什么，算“元恋爱”吗，设定好了程序与背景，往里填两个演员念词就可以…热恋期色调+看得见多摩川的房间+1星。今村夏子有那么好看吗？//我觉得像“对照实验”=-= ！半圆肯定知道合拍不是报菜名啊，所以是故意的吧
人物刻画很浅薄呀，仅仅因为消费的艺术品一模一样就匹配为灵魂挚爱（但其实最无奈的还是阶级问题啊，乡村出身的男生想要往女生父母认可的方向去努力，女生自己却是从欣赏男生的穷艺术家气质开始喜欢上他的，家境优渥也不愁什么打拼。难免这种结局
但我不知道是导演的问题还是编剧的问题，我欣赏的be走向是无论客观条件怎么样，他们彼此正是他们不能在一起的原因。要写出两个人表面相似但根源不同注定无法走到一起的感觉才够深刻。
一个游荡已久的灵魂真的能在短短几小时就找到自己的spark吗？也许我还是不能认为此刻只是此刻，仍然觉得应该有个目标并且有所成就。忘我与迷失可能只有一线之隔。如果我的浑噩只要几句话几个瞬间就能哄好，大概也未曾真的困扰过吧。彼岸世界还挺有趣，Terry太好哄了QAQ。虽然只给了三星，但是观影体验还是不错的…
-我准备和它聊聊，但已经晚了
-我想笑着对他说再见
看人恋爱喜滋滋，见人分手狂摇头。二人分手的原因很明显，就是上班了，不上班啥啥都好，一上班处处不得劲。
依然是我最爱的Pixar风格！排片很少但绝对绝对绝对值得一看！一味寻找生命的意义反而会成为禁锢自我的执念，享受活在当下的每一分钟也许就能找到属于自己的spark~视觉音效方面不用我多吹，Pixar就是最牛逼的！！爵士乐的钢琴声一流动起来，整个世界都亮了~另外本片编导一定对尼克斯队又爱又恨，常年看NBA的盆友们看到一定会笑出来。（除非你是尼克斯粉。）
靠消费主义维系的恋爱是抵抗不了资本主义秩序的。
