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.
叼，没啥好说的，74分钟完全可以好好呈现一个电影的容量。低成本也不一定就只能拍飞起来的文艺片，电影人嘛，好好讲故事好好演，拍摄的时候不糊弄比啥都好。
近几年少见的优秀武侠片，可惜限于制作投入，整体感觉浅尝即止。
除了故事简陋了些，剧组看起来挺穷的以外其他都不错，最后一战的武指/美术/运镜都很喜欢，谢苗有李连杰那时候的味儿了，整个让我想到座头市，可以拍下去，爱看。
堪称日本《座头市》。制作上面看得出挺用心的，虽然故事简单粗暴，可好在认真讲完了，值得鼓励。
但是看下来 毫无尿点
很是短小精悍啊！而且不落俗套的没有感情戏，纯侠客，为了公道，加一星。就是海报像黄渤哈哈
十步杀一人，千里不留行；
说实话，哪个哥哥闯了祸还去参加妹妹的婚礼？这个设定真的可以了。
标签已经打好了
有点矛盾.
谢苗换成张晋就好了。。。【做梦呢】
很意外居然节奏、演技、运镜、服化道都值得一提，尤其最后那个漆黑的夜里煞白追光下快意恩仇的一刀，颇具写意，嗯……如果不去想古代哪来的追光这件事的话。就是可惜了琴娘，但没有用琴娘做人质，倒是让瞎子可以无所顾忌地挥刀。
看了。没有网上夸得那么夸张，水平和以往的电视电影差不多。有人拿它跟剑雨比，过了，制作完全不能比。
制作没的说，就是太装了，看着太累了。装的太过了。
武打设计是最大的亮点，但是和风太盛，重头戏模仿《座头市》的痕迹很明显。剧情太薄，流程程式化严重，编剧的剧情构建能力太一般，只能是网文里的中庸之作，靠谢苗和武打效果提升了一些地位！
1. 几处场面调度处理的很牛逼，比如开场的枪杀，KTV干架；2. 侯孝贤和陈国富保证了好故事；3. 《牯岭街》里的“小马”谭至刚演完本片后两年死于车祸，不到20岁；4. 高捷复仇那段，台上唱《皇后大道东》的是罗大佑和林强，爆吊；5. 伍佰演唱的《少年吔，安啦！》超有feel。
明明早已標過，為什麼沒了？記得當時很震驚，沒想到安是安非他命。比起艋舺之流，這才是真正的壞胚子電影。片子拍完沒多久阿兜仔譚志剛就車禍去世，阿國毒品槍炮竊盜各種前科，最後因綁架罪入獄11年，兩個無知少年的現實人生竟也走上不歸路。少年們，何時才能安。
有调调，有事件，没人物，像是学生习作。谢苗稳，以后也许有机会成名。
谢苗真的太缺好片拍了，可惜啊，这本子就是镖人+龙飞+浪客剑心
看看这镜头，看看这画面，看看这打戏，看看这语言，看看这服道化！这，特么的就叫电影，就叫艺术。
