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.
欣赏不来。美帝你丑恶的侵略嘴脸在这伪善个啥？想吐
虽然看《梦华录》时候我觉得双洁也很好啊，但是看了这个又觉得现代社会还是别双洁了，不然就得到六十几岁可能就一次性高潮都没体会过，然后还要花钱找年轻男人。我对女性招男妓这个事情本身也没什么反感，就是不想觉得要自己有一天是因为渴望这种年轻的肉体去花钱，会让人陷入一种不对等中。了解自己愉悦自己倒是永远不会晚。哎呀，我现在就要开始，不能老了。
作为一个有些抗拒Musical的人难得喜欢上的作品，虽然非常美式正能量，但是群像叙事、舞台演绎和main theme实在加分很多，在这样的日子感动于一些人性的美好也不错
托尼奖音乐剧官摄版本，每一位演员都饰演了多个角色，演技好，唱功棒，情节衔接紧凑，笑点伴着泪点，在那黑暗的一天，給世人带来温暖的是一座来自寒冷的加拿大的小镇
疫情前买好的池座巡演票因为疫情而取消，最终在2022年国内疫情再次抬头的时刻把官摄看完。It's a story celebrating humanity, and no one is an island. 是的, no one is an island. 希望早日看上现场版。w /Cloudy.
五星。真好，舞台剧的魅力，荧幕电影给不了，荧幕电影的优势，舞台剧也比不上。它们没有优劣之分，当这两种艺术载体从平行线交汇到一起时，就有了《来自远方》，很多没有机会条件看现场舞台剧的观众，可以通过一块相对廉价的屏幕，体验到之前难得的体验。
看群像的剧不如看纪录片有趣。除此以外服装不合我审美。很平庸的剧。
讲个故事，谈点问题，轻盈精巧，多好啊。63岁的 emma thompson 舒展地展露身体表演，我们的电影却还在从外表到年龄全方位限制贬损女演员。
ohhh my god 我理想中的gentleman
（黑女穆同LGBTQ+齐活了）
终于看完了这版。几度流泪。我将永远相信残酷现世中存在的人性文明之光。
还蛮喜欢结尾，Nancy是通过自己获得了第一次高潮而非Leo
非常完美的、幻想中的、现实中不可能存在的鸭。令人沮丧的是，更多女人就算知道要探索自己的身体，想接纳自己，也没有这样的机会。
看的第一部官摄音乐剧 911事件后来自各地的旅客迫降甘德小镇的故事 故事很暖心 歌也很好听 虽然没在现场但被表演和舞台设置深深震撼到了 希望有机会能现场看表演（看完更希望本哥重回音乐剧舞台了
Find your pleasure.and honor it .我爱最后一幕，Nancy对着镜子满足自己后，那张绯红的脸。肉体间的肝胆相照，是一种救赎。
四星给演员，这么简单的场地全靠演技撑起来了
讨论话题可以，但是Leo这个角色实在是过于Sex Saint，上一次看到现实反差这么大的角色还是爱很美味的健身教练。
看了一半实在忍不下去了。americanism epitome and condescending PC. 用圣经与黑人交流的桥段令人反胃
故事内容的立意大概拔高了影片的口碑分数。
三星半 ｜前2/3极度舒适的片子 最后有些垮了 人物的设计稍显讨巧 矛盾起的也略突兀 为了男主的魅力手松给个四星
