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.
许是我自己年岁渐长，逐渐喜欢起老阿莫近年来的内敛与克制，尽管他依旧“野心勃勃”想要探讨太多话题，但这份揉杂甚或牵强却有种对他自己的怀旧气息，是那份克制下的任性，让人心有戚戚焉，更何况还有无可挑剔的配色与道具征服我。
新年第一天新年第一部。原来海报是被censurée 了哇。女性的互助以及母爱真的拍得很动人，但觉得和国家记忆这块的链接有一点点不够自然，作者借人物之口太多次倾诉自己的立场，可能是阿莫多瓦真的很想要诉说。不过，真是开了个新年好头！
3.5 前一小时半一直四星来着，落脚点太奇怪了
当他们凝视这片土地，他们凝视的是历史的深渊，“只要我们没完成这件事，战争就还没结束”。音乐和色彩一如既往的出彩，虽然故事没有很多惊喜，但是不妨碍我大呼阿莫多瓦nb！
寻根线开头结尾 中间故事情节好 但总觉得和头尾的关系很生硬…
母亲与祖国，新生与逝者、未来与过往，“父亲的不在场”，快门记录了时代，也承载了历史。
就是很普遍很爽的动作大片，但是因为卡司我加分了，2049前世cp，美队又演反派，还是坏透了的那种，居然还有“毒枭”瓦格纳·马拉惊喜客串，很适合在一个无聊的夜晚放松心情。
佩内洛普的表演比以往更加沉稳克制，各种情绪的转换流畅自然，比《回归》更甚。请再拿下一座小金人
抱错孩子那里有些狗血 俩个妈妈搞蕾丝更是超乎我想象 风格非常阿莫多瓦 人物服装动物颜色搭配和室内设计的搭配颜色都非常好看 只是没想到怎么跟乱葬岗联系起来的
【20220529】4星或许稍多，毕竟不是阿莫多瓦最好的作品（甚至没有接近），可是依然骗得到眼泪。最近开始着迷阿莫多瓦，他的作品太温柔了，在钢筋水泥的世界里需要些柔软的承接。香港的翻译叫做“谁和谁共母”，本质上是一个基因溯源的故事--其实和片中的考古挖掘祖辈乱葬墓也是平行主线。影片结局的态度是，追根溯源是人的天性，所以历史不会被以往。This seems gratuitous, but serves as a universal value. 篡改历史和事实得到的，只能是扭曲和变态的果实。
这死胖子就是个大骗子，千万别信丫的。
为女性角色的豁达自信鼓掌，男人彻底沦为配角。最终，历史还得是母亲来呼唤及拯救。
#NYFF59 你可以永远相信阿莫多瓦。是他电影里相对轻松和欢乐的一部，很好看，节奏流畅，温情向。虽然不想他别的电影一样流露出很多痛苦，当一部喜剧片看确实很不错。
UGC Rotonde 家族史视角是动人的，逝去的先辈和新生的血液，女主对于传承的执着呈现出一种女性行使生育权的主动性。两位各自承载过往故事的单身母亲之间的关系也十分迷人，如果情欲的部分不那么轻率直接，我会更喜欢。
一直喜欢阿莫多瓦对高饱和度色彩的搭配和运用，信手拈来，充满灵气，用明亮包裹沉重黑暗的历史，结尾神来之笔
克鲁兹女神真的诠释什么是风韵，每道皱纹都是那么迷人🥺 最重要的是演技太强大了。刚看时还以为阿莫多瓦怎么也拍起了国产剧的惯用情节？结果接下来的情节真的还是不走寻常路。PS.爱死这部电影的初版海报，打算贴家里。
So happy seeing Penelope fucking a women in movie
夭折的正确，更正的错误，和解的新生；莫说故事狗血，真实的历史更狗血。
女性叙事+经典多线剧情，尽管全西语无字幕，但还是比想象中容易理解。不过居然还加入了lesbian戏码是我没想到的……
就是很普遍很爽的动作大片，但是因为卡司我加分了，2049前世cp，美队又演反派，还是坏透了的那种，居然还有“毒枭”瓦格纳·马拉惊喜客串，很适合在一个无聊的夜晚放松心情。
