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.
光是这个概念和执行力 就值四星 何况还有蕾姐和小K的美颜
哈姆雷特里失语的王后开口了！男主才是罪恶的产物 “child born of savagery
绝大多数场景的镜头都是固定机位拍摄，好处就是平静，观众不会过多的带入到电影里，但这不能说是拍摄牛逼，只是一种方式而已，尤其是导演想拍成史诗般的戏剧形式，这也造成了一个后果，那就是剧情发展不算明晰，时间线模糊，特别还有很多神神叨叨的内容。
灾难电影。每一年总有这样充满古典与野性结合的第三者电影，人物塑造的狡黠性全部失败。唯一成功的是妮可基德曼赋予的那股子女性的渴望，要欲，要恶，要爱。男性在此场荒谬的退化论中扮演行尸走肉丑陋不堪的动物。维京系又不是什么值钱的东西，假阴沉的壮大。不亚于把《亚瑟王:斗兽争霸》和《海王》引进入局《麦克白的悲剧》，东拼西凑，就是你的《北欧人》啦！咱不是是什么史诗啦！
就哈姆雷特混麦克白，在王子复仇记里加了预言女巫，妮可是哈姆雷特他妈和麦克白夫人的混合，大剧情基本照本宣科，视觉上搞搞巫术迷幻，主要剧情基本剧透没了毫无惊喜，安雅那脸怎么瘦脱相了。
当我听到男主名的时候觉得就是哈姆雷特，然后事实上也确实是，真的有点困了，这种epic这样拍就不是很聪明，I mean 这得多老套啊？而且北欧viking风，确实挺brutal，savage的，真的，说陪葬就杀了，砍头就砍，挺不舒服的，里面祭天呀神棍呀镜头，就很cult，还有，虽然我喜欢🐶，但是这开头那段通灵我大二哈的镜头着实迷惑，我理解不了，我更理解不了的是他对峙母亲时那段，我真的what the hell？？？How could u？It doesn't ahhhh。另外这种目睹亲人然后当奴隶一步步复仇夺皇位，hello，Am I watching Gladiator？？？另外就是裸戏了，不知道是不是裸替，naked金发安雅，她真的挺好看的。但是男主是真的蠢，蠢猪一样，反正两边卧龙凤雏吧
9/10
当夜里一点半妮可基德曼发现自己儿子还活着露出那种鬼德行的时候，我真的不明白自己为啥要为这么个破片子熬夜…
豆瓣并不算高的评分或许体现了观影的期待偏差。对于哈姆雷特的故事设定从一开始就没打算往叙事方向走，嫁接到北欧的历史环境，自然也不会是史诗的规模，特殊的神话和宗教崇拜体系下，一贯独特的色彩和运镜，最终呈现的，定是满足小众口味的融合菜码而已，我蛮喜欢。
看的时候其实我一直在思考这个镜头是怎么拍出来的或者这个化妆好逼真
杀戮场面讲究“原始”，民俗神话色彩添味。写实与写意，这两方面观感上联想到《荒野猎人》加上《麦克白》。艾格斯个人的视听风格依旧。其实完全可以用更极致的做法，观众甚至不需要听懂人们的语言，仅需身临其中，借助长镜头，简单到只去感受“影像”故事即可。★★★★/8.1/*2
看来导演本意是为了展示维京文化，但说实话，现在维京文化已经不算很新鲜了，众多的影视剧尤其是游戏已经很充分地表现了维京文化，说到底还是野蛮人的残暴文化，不会上瘾的。
Plastic is the modern food.
阿姆雷特他妈竟然是尼可·基德曼 女神老啦 很舞台剧的表演风格
极传统的叙事，但视效做得很不错，喜欢此类莎剧复仇模式的观众可以在熟悉中找到安全感。
一直觉得拿《钛》和这部类比十分不妥，显然这是两个方向不同的科幻故事，柯南伯格在这么短的篇幅没有说明这个故事的全貌，但是这恰恰把那种精英阶层、未曾敞开的艺术领域以一种开放的“库”的形式呈现出来，故事的场景、对白都以非常拉康的方式展开，纪录片式的人物对话让某些意义的滑动晦涩了不少，2022年还能看到理念这么牛的科幻片，牛的
中世纪味道基本靠脏。不难看也不好看，就是…看着挺花钱的。
最新的一些艺术电影都像是一场行为艺术，戛纳成为了这个美术馆。
2022.4.22 bfi. 乏善可陈。甚至感觉是一部舞台剧。不少人物的表演停留在表面（个人感觉只有妮可基德曼表演得有血肉）。刚开始我在思考这是导演的原因还是演员的原因，尤其是开头扮演少年复仇王子的小演员，动作和表情真的是僵硬，机械化，像在表演一串串的指令，严重怀疑导演使用的是结果性指导。总体上相比很多年前看的惊艳的the vvitch, 感觉相差挺大，毫无新颖，略平淡无味。5
北欧神话体系是极为残暴的，战死沙场为荣，病死老死为耻，战死有瓦尔基里骑着飞马来接引你，直升瓦哈拉神殿，和英雄们唱战歌，喝蜜酒。而这样神话下的族群其实是非常原始的，因此种种的行为可以看出其血腥无情的一面。最后男主毅然跳下船，必然会是一个赴死之路。看过整个剧情，对于故事并没有觉得有多么出彩的地方，理解为一个北欧男孩的复仇之路，但是其剧情看起来并不复杂曲折。但是在其中更多的是感受到北欧文化习俗，而且对个体的影响。
