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.
最被打動的一幕，女主坐在車裡，拿著小男朋友的手摸自己的頭，摸著摸著就哭了，多久沒被好好疼惜。
Find something bigger than yourself.
除了嘴巴厉害，她的厉害之处在哪？逆袭还是靠的黑帮大哥….这顶多算是励志吧
所有人都应当得到尊重，但是卖淫绝不能合法！
果然天朝的思维模式是理解不了甘古拜的思维逻辑的，一般来说如果被骗到妓院卖掉的女孩，翻身之后一定是要废除妓院这种制度的，但甘古拜却要求卖淫合法化，不过想想印度那个现实环境，至少这个诉求能让她们更容易获得尊严吧，即便是后期甘古拜的处事掺杂了资本和政治的因素，但带来的实际结果对妓女群体本身是有价值的，即使比不上行为正义来的高尚，这种结果正义也不失为暂时的改善。
开始不能理解，她明明是被拐卖变成妓女的，为什么最后还要要求卖淫合法化？后来想想，可能在这样的时代和社会背景下，尽力了也只能保住身边人吧。
另外，女主真美啊
评论区就能真实反映社会对女性有多严格。女主所争取的卖淫合法化，是因为她所处的社会现状，没有办法让她们这群黑玫瑰变回白玫瑰，那她能争取的就是让黑玫瑰们也能拥有公平生存的土壤和肥料。站在道德高地的一部分人，才是最肮脏的。
太长了。。。。 这片子有一个不错的背景故事，布景很用心，镜头有美感，但无奈故事编排能力实在太差，可以说相当草率原始
讲真，感觉看到的或许是真实的印度拐卖女性和卖淫行业，其他的都是空口号…所谓反抗竞选对手 但没有铺垫展示压迫在哪里，难道只是把对手塑造成一个不男不女的狂人怪人？也没看到是怎么保护四千名女性的啊，没感觉到她有努力，只展示了每天数钱、洗澡、蒸脸的生活啊……聪明是聪明，懂得抓住机会和利用资源，但野心的源头太单薄了，人设很难让人觉得立体而信服…全片最触动的情节不过是和裁缝小伙约会的桥段，其他的部分 都好苍白…
同样的命运如果是你，会怎么选择？她只是选择用另一种方式发起反抗。既然已深陷泥潭无法折返，那就既来之则安之用一切努力改变现状。至少，让同为女性的受难者们被有尊严地对待；至少，还能有一个家。卖淫合法化是一个很难有结果的辩题，一边是人性一边是道德，到底是惩罚女性还是约束男性，我想，每个人心里都已经有了答案。更何况合法化后带来的其他犯罪也是剧中没有提到的，比如强迫卖淫和人口拐卖。虽然甘古拜艰难重重，整体还是挺顺的，一直有人或者说是有男人的帮助（没办法印度男性更有地位），而现实中很难有如此讲义气的大哥和如此有能力的记者，还能会见总统。不过艺术总归是艺术，也要给残酷的现实添一些希望的色彩不是吗。总体推荐！
女主又美又攻的忍不住看完，立意不错 剧情挺空的。女主的声音真好听。
解决问题的根源在于真正意义上的提高女性的地位，保障女性的权益，而非片中所言
有罪的是拐卖人口的孽障，没有人有资格看不起为了活下去而努力的人
不过女主真是神颜……太好看了。
像又不像，单纯的肤浅的女性主角，可不能叫女性主义电影
依靠男性让其他女性能够活成不依靠男性的人，身为弱势群体的无可奈何。既然规则毫无公平可言，那就好好利用规则。
男人最愚蠢的地方是因为女人没有他的聪明。
被男人欺骗卖去妓院的女人悲惨又抗争的事情。
本来感觉只是消遣时间的爽剧，没想到女主演技和总体制作都很精湛。演讲那段我很喜欢，加一星。
