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.
水准之上的传记片，中国版波西米亚狂想曲。一个时代、一个地方的终结，现在都改叫大湾区了。
太浅薄了，连梅艳芳为什么是梅艳芳这个最基本的问题都没解决，女主确实有几分像情绪爆发点也能不拖后腿，但眼神里没内容，演演二十多岁的梅姐还可以，岁月完全没在她身上留下痕迹
还真的是一般。剧情和情绪都好散，像没得感情的流水账。不知道为什么她突然就不开心了，也不知道怎么就又整个人变了、升华了。加上我个人对梅艳芳没有什么情怀，就更难产生共情。想通过这部电影至少能够了解一下梅姐的生平，结果这些寥寥数语还不如我直接去看个公众号文章。而且一边看一边觉得，这个梅艳芳有时好像孙俪，这个张国荣怎么有时这么像张一山，还有那个华星的制作人，怎么突然又这么像岳云鹏……
整体上有些刻意，小义到大义这条线还不清晰。
梅艳芳一生坎坷，一生仗义，一生寂寞，一生都嫁给了舞台。
全片看下来最触动我的竟然是姐姐和梅姑温暖的亲情。从幼年的登台演出，到那个一起吃了很多年的路边摊，看着回忆里梅姐和姐姐手拉手唱着歌回家的背影，只有遗憾和无限心酸....
粉丝估计看了会觉得不够好，我这种路人看了真的觉得她好勇敢坚强
梅姑最重要的原生家庭的部分缺失了，得亏廖子妤演得不错，姐妹情深这个点立住了。电影的本身恐怕连流水账都不如，百度百科我相信都比这个电影要更为好看，或者是供人思考，梅艳芳的事业部分说得浮光掠影，把她变成了恋爱脑，用Siri的话说这个片也许只有刘培基的粉丝才能满意。王丹妮勉强合格，但也不算好，不过比起其它人奇奇怪怪的表演她已经很规矩，虽然舞台的部分还是不够好，和原版一比就显得像是全民造星的水平，但是演感情戏更差，这也使得影片更在恋爱脑明星传记上倾斜，而她一路的作品的幕后基本没说，感情还是美化过的恋爱小说。
有文章讲，认识梅艳芳是倒叙，首先知道的就是她的谢幕，我也是，从她的终点往相反的时间点长大，才逐渐看过《胭脂扣》、《钟无艳》、《审死官》和《半生缘》。作为不够了解她的过路人也在看影片时哭得很惨，关锦鹏说她本身就长得苦，如花本色出演就够，真的是从荆棘中奋力开出的玫瑰，香港的江湖儿女。王丹妮真的像，说话方式神情都努力去模仿，至于缺失对母亲重男轻女的描写、洗白近藤真彦等问题，只能解释为太多当事人仍在世而无法展示了。最大的问题在于，张国荣是什么人物，导演你就选一个毫无资质的男演员来凑数？如果是一个几分相像的帅哥努力模仿，观众还能理解，毕竟无人能完全复制那种绝代芳华，但这个演员又丑又没有努力的意思，很难不令人倒胃口，还捏造梅帮哥哥加戏的情节，建议荣迷远离这个片子，不然会被气死。
套用“艺术人生”三板斧——忆童年、拿照片、把琴弹——生硬串联的流水账。对梅姐不甚了解的我，电影观感远不及前几年看到99年春晚《床前明月光》时来得震撼。
王丹妮扮演的梅艳芳还是有看点，张国荣的扮演者……
作为她的第一部（希望不是唯一一部）传记，这样的取舍也能理解。对我来说，梅艳芳不仅是个艺人，也是个艺术家，更是个伟大的女性，希望更多的人去了解她，向她学习。而这点，这部电影也做到了，希望这部电影卖得好些。
抛开本人来讲，作为一个路人 感觉影片流于表面没有真正在意人物的内心变化，整体的感觉就像按照时间线铺设这种冲突的流水账，挖掘的还不够，而且节奏有大问题感觉导演没有完全知道观众想要看的和自己到底想要表达的，出门左拐学习一下《波西米亚狂想曲》的调度和掌控力，对于那个时代的还原还是有点浮
边看边怀念，也边擦着湿润的眼睛，梅姐给我带来的感动不光是舞台上的惊喜，也是面对生活从不退缩的坚定。
电影把梅艳芳的一生，用记流水账的方式讲完了，毫无重点。然而其他不说，我以为演员说不定选得不错，毕竟至少演唱会的视频可以用来参考吧，连最后的演唱会都呈现出一种假唱效果。哭肯定是可以哭的，但是是因为歌的关系，《夕阳之歌》一出来我左左右右都在抹眼泪，就是伴着画面真的很像假唱了。做这个电影的人应该反思一下，把电影做成这样，对得起梅艳芳么（话说得重，其实也能想到，很多东西拍了上映不了，但是已有的内容毫无取舍做成这样的白开水，确实不太行）。
建议用素材和公开影像，剪一个梅艳芳张国荣双主角纪录片，就叫比如《香港儿女》。大概率会比这好看。离得太近的人物太难演太难拍了。一旦出现了真实的梅艳芳影像在电影中，我就没法相信这个明亮的清晰的现代置景和高挑的更标致的演员是梅艳芳。
王丹妮比想象中表现得出色，但是剧本和导演都太一般了
佩服梅艳芳的为人，成长后的她能独立面对主持人的刁钻问题，也能霸气回应自己的慈善对得起天地良心，佩服她的强大内心，也佩服她的豪情义举。坚持募捐公益，在云南、台湾还有港股接连出事的时候挺身而出，梅姐做慈善永远不只是说说。
边看边哭不是因为片子拍得好。而是故事原型本就动人，以及因此而被勾起的真情实感。
选择了一种最保守也是最安全的拍法，但因为传主本身经历的传奇性，所以拍得并不沉闷，内在的线索脉络也是很清晰的——舞台上的梅艳芳光鲜亮丽，但舞台下的她却因为各种原因无法享受一名女性理应享有的爱情家庭等等，但她实现了这种对小愿望的超越，通过演艺与公益事业将自己塑造成为香港的女儿，然后在一场轰轰烈烈的演出中光彩落幕。这个时间点拍梅的传记其实是一语双关的，建制一方与自由一方均可以找到支撑己方的解读点。
