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.
2021威尼斯主竞赛入围+2021手册十佳第9位。剧作一流，台词精彩，旁白特别值得分析；视听上保罗施拉德强调数字感的方式是通过极为清晰的景深镜头实现的，这个景深的处理往前就接到比如《圣鹿之死》等作品；用2D化的VR镜头来呈现梦境和记忆也是第一次见到有人这么做！演员处理上特别布列松（旁白也很布列松哈哈哈），不过美国演员跟这套风格确实不搭……战争相关的PTSD居然还能翻出新花样，实在厉害，奥斯卡怎么着也得给个编剧提名吧！
好像是狱警一个项目折磨士兵（？），之后坐牢，但项目领导没受到惩罚，出来算牌赌博，遇到一个男孩（孩子爹也是狱警？），赎罪去杀项目领导。大部分都是公路赌场对话，相对比较安静吧。稍微无聊，配乐不错，心跳和歌曲。联想电影绅士们，醉乡民谣。
《算牌人》完全可以看作是施拉德对《第一归正会》的重复，当然他们也都源自于《出租汽车司机》，施拉德将赌博与虐囚这两个完全不同的主题结合，但他们似乎又最能代表美国精神，曾经痛苦的记忆困扰着一等兵，施拉德也提醒着观众不要忘记关塔那摩的历史，它并没有从我们的生命中消失，而泰尔的《悲惨世界》般的自我救赎也如施拉德的其他电影一样充满了宿命与牺牲的悲剧意味，在《第一归正会》中牧师面对的是环境破坏的生态危机与内心信仰的危机，而泰尔是关于国家责任与道德感的冲突，不管是何种的天人之战，主人公最后的抗争都暗指着一个所谓的理性统治的国度如何被那绝望的疯狂击溃的，其中的诸多细节，如住在波特兰的母亲、权力无序下的暴力都有对现实本身的影射，施拉德留给算牌人最后的温情是对还在与这个世界抗争的人们的安慰与鼓励吧
6/10。奥斯卡系电影，白布包裹家具、监狱鱼眼长镜头，极大得调高了我的观影期待，谁料一泻千里。除了主角其他人物都没有任何神秘之处，本应是主题的算牌也在香港夸张的赌博电影洗礼下众口难调。我好像从来没有进入过保罗施拉德的世界，《第一归正会》是，这部也是。算牌是导演与观众的较量，他藏着王牌但我已失去耐心。
本片延續了保羅施拉德編劇的《出租車司機》以及《基督最後的誘惑》等對戰後創傷，孤獨憤怒，自我救贖等主題，編導風格壓抑剋制，並無一般賭片那般緊張刺激，但一觸即發的暴力處理得讓人屏氣凝神。保羅施拉德刻畫的救贖之路，是無法用金錢，愛情，法律就可以洗清的罪孽，賭徒再是精于計算，也無法脫離命運的擺弄，那種扭曲，地獄的虐囚經驗造就了他自毀之路，保羅施拉德藉由此片控訴了美國的愚蠢無情的愛國主義暴力，沾染鮮血的手亦能作惡，也能懲奸，亦能像羅伯特布列松的《扒手》一般用手指在囚禁和自由間傳情。
俗套剧情集大成者，但蛮过瘾的，男帅女美，欣赏就完事了
女主有点脚踏两只船的样子，旦并不影响整部电影的欢快轻松的气氛，尤其音乐每一首都那么喜欢
本来想打三星或者是三星半，但实在是太假了，或是太做作了。欧~
But I personally don't think it's okay for them to behave like this at work. It really creates bad working conditions. If I were their collegue, I'll 😡.
包装于赌牌中的复仇故事，拍得有气无力，节奏缓慢。导演大约迷恋旧时电影，从片头、配乐、风格均有诸多模仿。同时又紧跟现在的时髦，总是爱用画外音，开场一大段独白，让人以为是广播剧。其实老老实实拍一部赌场片就好，又偏偏要加入很多的元素，还扯入虐囚酷刑之类的，两者契合得相当生硬。
以职场同事兼对手为切入点的恋爱戏比较少见。男女主相貌虽一般但胜在CP感还不错。
与写得有些糟糕的书改编还是有好一点，主角也是chemistry越来越强，cheesy but acceptable，lucy演得还不错，演员微表情很赞，这么cheesy的题材能演好
这就是魔改吗，把原著的情节调换顺序的我还是第一次见，为了圣诞月上映甚至不惜改季节哈哈哈，不过男女主选角挺不错的
女主向男主父亲介绍那段我看了好几遍，爱情就是会这样，包括男主那句我知道你的一切和一切
一把年纪了，看这样的爱情喜剧确实是没有啥感觉了。剧情一般，台词设计还是很不错的，很有挑逗意味。一部普通的爱情电影被定义为R级，实际上却啥也没有，可见台词有多么的dirty……三星！
职场浪漫爱情喜剧，两个人互相斗气的时候真的十分小学生，选角太好了
泰尔素日只想玩牌，而奇克是一个脆弱易怒的年轻人，奇克正在寻求帮助，来执行他对军事上校(达福饰)的复仇计划。
就当是一部装修杂志来看吧，里面的装修风格非常的标准美式工业风。
打过德扑的人都知道，算牌作为一种概率技艺，可以构成打牌整体策略，为长期盈利提供数学工具。但具体到某把牌，甚至某次比赛，某一天，某一个月，是否能赢钱都首先建基于运气，也就是偶然性之上。当代“神学”如果说还有什么是超验的，或许就是这种“偶然”，那种我们能从萨弗迪兄弟电影中大量感知到的混沌和不可预计性。而施拉德只能在老派的信仰体系里做得足够正统，在当代电影语汇显得足够正点。不过，这个电影最成功地方，当然是把赌博男人塑造如此帅，如此秀食可餐。
8.3 奥斯卡伊萨克最好的角色，William Tell一改往常疯癫的赌徒形象，赌博于他只是逃离现实的唯一途径，疲惫不堪地眼眶中满是虚无，即便是半点激情都形如幻觉，在不知不觉中轻而易举地覆灭。
