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.
不是你们观测的时候能不能关灯啊？？？这不是常识吗我真的无语？虽然academia is a perfect place for introverts但我真的不相信全美那么多搞行星科学的居然没有一个能站出来把话说清楚的？这一行里真的不是所有人都是nerds，科普确实难但刻板印象更恶心，点开三次都没看下去，我放弃了
忧郁症之后的第十年，末世以另一种方式降临，情绪终于躺平。所以该如何述说真相(Peer reviewed真的笑死)？ 所以什么时候毁灭？
还行吧~ 结合那死掉的 80 万人和最近两任总统来看，黑美国黑得很真实，不过中国不会在这种存亡任务上失败的。都经历了新冠疫情了，豆瓣上反贼恨国的还是这么多，好可怜。豆瓣啊，你们平台的大股东必死。
如果真的彗星撞击地球，我们有知情权吗？
挺好看的政治喜剧，揶揄的也不仅是政治，而是当下的众生相。政客商人全是私利，乌合之众也好不到哪儿去。互联网时代无秘密，但政客却依然能挑动每个人的神经线，或者也不是他人的挑唆，全是私利使然。又想到最近“请指教”中的【大嘴巴子】，类似的表达，我比较同意杨超的说法，后者有喜剧的框架，却缺了喜剧的血肉，当然有篇幅所限，但更重要的是一些生活的冗余。科学家也被私利裹挟，忽然的浮华世界让他眼花缭乱，立场也在不断变化。很喜欢这部片子的剪辑，讨论与宣布因为剪辑增强了节奏感、趣味性与讽刺。演员阵容也惊艳，小李子已经演成年人的父亲，凯特女王居然可以把个妖艳贱货诠释得如此不讨厌也好奇妙，当然还有梅姨。很多桥段非常解构，无论是中将拿白宫免费零食骗钱，抑或彩蛋的万年后怪鸟吃人。当代喜剧电影确实需要脑洞乱入的戏谑！
全片我笑得最响的包袱似乎是幕僚长为“stuff”祈祷……我真的是贯通中外的谐音烂梗爱好者。（可能这几年现实过于生草，一部超长星光SNL已经有点让我不为所动了）
它并不像先前大多影评人所说的那样“不堪”，而是有着令人舒服的节奏、极具创意的剪辑与幽默诙谐的风格。全片笑点不断，根本停不下来，一点都不尬！各类真实的社会现象，抨击的非常深刻，而且每一位的演技都十分自然。真的算是2021年末的惊喜之作！
当今世界不就是这部电影的姊妹篇《Don’t Go Out》 吗？
很久没有看到能够blow my fucking mind商业大片了，众星云集的同时感觉大家在一起玩的也挺开心的，仿佛抛开了所有束缚并呈现出如此纯粹且粗暴的政治寓言，大数据时代下的阶级语言所引发的荒唐与嘲讽，存在还是毁灭也再一次被推向人类终极话题的风口浪尖。将不同阶级与政治意识形态下的交流思维表现出极端裸露下的病态发展，所摩擦出的各种火花令人捧腹同时也细思极恐，人类的命运暴露在台面上供他们博弈，彗星的灭绝威胁变成了最大利益化的共同体。抬头即上帝在赋予预言为现实，不要抬头是脚踏实地的虚无主义，一切试图将「存在」抹除的精致肉体都将被撕烂与吞噬，而将爱保留在灵魂深处的胴体才是最永恒的感知体，而所有被毁灭的众生也从来不曾被遗忘。
电影里的讽刺其实是很幼稚的，人物也比较脸谱化。但作为爽片还是挺好看的，基本的人物逻辑与核心立意还是有的。
諷刺意味有些用力過猛，但前半部真的很戳中我的笑點，後半部卻荒誕得只剩沉重。這部片是我們這個時代的縮影。
What do I need to discover to get to see the president in the White House?
6.5/10。不遗余力黑美国政府，黑社交媒体成瘾的世人，但我总觉得差了口气不够尽兴，《波拉特》做得就好很多。不要抬头=不要戴口罩，讽刺性很强。一直想到沈腾的表情包“累了，毁灭吧”，在地球被毁之前可以和甜茶约炮也死而无憾吧。A妹唱歌笑死我了。
看得这部电影送走2021。这也有点太应景了吧......不过这个尺度......差距啊
好笑与悲凉之间。刚准备笑就觉得自己也身处在一个大型魔幻现实主义题材作品里，惨惨的感觉就来了。梅姨彪悍，各种角色手到擒来。美国人嘲笑美国人永远天字第一号好手。
虽然作为政治讽刺片可能过于浮夸不够针砭时弊，但是作为喜剧已然够格，看着大家末日当头却依旧在乎眼前的苟且，当真有一种荒诞却佯装正经的幽默。
一想到这些荒谬的事情是地球现状就一点也笑不出来。没想到科技发展，人类一点没有进步，网络没有互联，只是各说各话、干涉别人，大概要一直到地球毁灭吧。
居然还有A妹的献唱，心满意足。
3.5吧，虽然政坛什么的翻来覆去都是那些梗，但放在世界末日设定上还挺飞，太适合加进冬季节日的奶头乐片单了。李子依然是有熊追他既视感。
对一打演员的运用确实没比国内全明星阵容片好哪里去，甚至很多时候是靠明星来维持观众对角色的注意力。
