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.
3.5，结局不难猜，剧情编排有点意思，但每次反转后就总是差点劲。
虎头蛇尾。
If we only allowed angels to be customers, soon we'd have no customers at all.
最后纹身出来，真的太搞笑了，怂怂的老头突然成了小帮派惹不起的存在，扮猪吃老虎一样的顶级杀手在都市
老爷爷挺眼熟也挺可爱的，只想看他做衣服……2022.5 @ BJ
非常惊喜的一部电影
形式大于内容，表面看黄雀在后，实则逻辑经不起推敲。最后反派的复活更是败笔。
谁来拍痛击那些在柬埔寨、缅甸专坑中国人的民族败类
奥斯卡剧本提名保底。方寸之地见大阵仗，话剧的写法，一个个人物粉墨登场再一一退场，把黑帮你死我活的争斗浓缩在一间小小的斗室里，虽然有些情节上的小巧合（接电话之类）过于戏剧化，但小舞台大战争的戏剧张力使片子颇为精彩。
简单的场景，简单的故事，但是足够牵动心弦。
AMC 小而美的舞台剧式类型片，情节多次反转但大多有所伏笔，严丝合缝如精心剪裁的合身套装；台词、配乐和服化道简洁讲究，观感舒适如端详裁缝手下干净平整的走线。半年前看到预告片就开始期待，不负所望，情节发展不落俗套，广阅黑帮片的我有被反套路到。作为编剧转导演的处女作还算不错，期待未来作品。PS：豆瓣条目中文译名太傻了
设计精巧 剧情逻辑合理地运用了地缘人物的性格，胖老板（美国人）教父一般附庸风雅地重感情、里奇（儿子）愣头青没头脑、弗朗西斯（准接班人）功夫在身权力驱使谋略稚嫩、拉芳丹（黑人）天然地对白男人强权有抵触、梅布尔（FBI）借机串联里奇获情报。把人物行动安排合理又是依据其个性使然 而英国人“魔鬼从天花板上掉下来，我都不吃惊！”
两三个场景，7/8个人，不断的进场出场来串联起每一个小单元，整个故事靠人物对话层层推进，对人物台词和表演都很考验，虽然故事很简单甚至有些老套，但表演给电影打下了坚实的基础

小成本电影的范本，在一个密闭空间，拍出精彩的故事，靠的就是扎实的剧本，尽管最后的反转再反转有些刻意。
hohoho~ 不知不觉中就进入了高潮~ 可以的。（真就把标签功能删了？真是TMD ||2022.5.9 诶~标签又出来了，所以是为了某个“大日子”的暂时性自阉？
精彩绝伦！好久没看到这么硬派的话剧电影了。Mark Rylance这内敛的演技太适合扮猪吃老虎了。
这片不能细想，不然肯定会发现BUG，比如那卷磁带_______（防剧透）。但在小空间里做成这样，真的很难得了。
戏剧感很强，在单一的空间里靠演技撑起剧情的辗转，英伦量体师的浓郁绅士风颇为吸引人。
男主演技是真的不错 但是这种话剧风格的电影还是不太合适我
