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.
看的是官摄所以标个电影吧～很感动…机长之歌很振奋；“tonight we honour what we lost but we also commemorate what we found”。
好高级的🍁纽芬兰宣传片！最后半颗星加给乐队表演。什么时候才能再去百老汇🥺
4k官摄很舒适，第一时间看了，来补标。之前这部戏唯一躺在歌单里的单曲，me and the sky，女机长太酷了！女孩子可以做她想做的任何事情！
其实历史永远不应该只有一面
Very Canadian. Very lovable. 真好，真治愈。
遗憾因为这个该死的疫情没能看上巡演，希望世界尽快恢复正常。
好好看。很温馨，剧情、人物、场景真的都编排得太好了。我从二十分钟开始就一直处于要哭不哭的状态，但笑点很好地中和了情绪。
表白机长《Me and the Sky 》太好听
超级好看！！看的2021官摄。整部剧节奏非常快，经常是上一秒眼泪还往下流，下一秒马上又能让你笑。整部剧以911事件发生时纽芬兰每个小人物的生活为视角，百姓的生活其实更让人揪心：在飞机上度过20+小时的旅客，一个小小的岛上一夕之间来了一倍岛民数量的陌生人，还有38架大型飞机。岛民的无私帮助让这些恐慌的陌生人感到温暖，不仅是人，还有飞机上的动物也得到了很好的照顾。还有美国第一位女机长的故事，她冲破了当时人们对女机长的偏见，不禁让我想起了之前有部纪录片讲述了想当火车司机的女性，她们需要的不仅是学习技能，还有与世俗对抗的勇气。
啊我还是想看现场。。。明年能重新在国内巡演吗
看完后，国内的音乐剧差的不是一点，唉～还怎么进剧场！！
女飞的自述也很有力量，演员功底很棒
這是一部很棒的音樂劇，旋律優美，歌詞細膩多層次，結合當年發生的事件，讓人感動。
真的太受震撼了，第一次受到震撼是入坑之作伊丽莎白，被编排舞美歌曲合唱各种震撼到。来自远方布景简单，但是给我各种意义上的“华丽”感，开场就敲击我大脑的合唱，人物动线紧凑，舞蹈编排，角色切换，场景迅速的变换，几十把椅子从酒馆到飞机，到巴士到小学，十几个人演绎出了这个从九千人一夜之间成为一万六千多人的淳朴小岛，机长的唱段，真的让我感受到了飞在空中的眩晕感！这部太值得看了，无论是故事里触动人心的点，还是这部剧本身的艺术功底，都很值得看！希望疫情早日过去，能在剧场相见！
真的太棒了 演员的表演和唱歌都无可挑剔 真想去看百老汇的现场
离别是：今日舟与车，并力生离愁。明知须臾景，不许稍绸缪。
机长原型说她看了这部戏101次，它没有让人沉溺在悲伤里喘不过气。自始至终靠的是人性本身的脆弱、敏感、真实和温暖在打动观众。911过去了二十年，但人类还是有点希望的，不是吗？
好看！音乐好听就不说了，一人分饰多角无缝转换身份就绝了！而且丝毫不会混乱。人性是——解除恐惧之后，本质全然美好。
舞台利用最大化，每一位演员都身兼多名角色，性格反差明显，特别优秀。
9.11二十周年之际看这部展现人类闪光时刻格外暖心，纽芬兰的许多都是人们理想的状态，种族宗教性取向都不再是问题，仿佛不存在少数和多数的概念，小镇的人为在黑暗中的人带来了光，尤其是知道了是真实发生的事件后，更为感动，在这世间还是有美好的人和事存在的，最糟糕的时刻总是最能展现人性，想去世界尽头的甘德看一看。
