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.
只有男人的脸面，没有女人的尊严。
前两段的铺垫，把最后面的决斗弄得我血脉膨胀，想把司机弄死的情绪非常强烈。在最后一段真相中，导演似乎在诉说着，女性即使在自己面对着侮辱还坚强着自己的控诉，发出自己的声音，即使可能面对自己的生命危险。然而到最后的胜利，也只是把胜利的果实交给了男性，而女性只是男性的附属品，所以最后女主也只不过在这一片欢呼声中，无法寻得正义胜利的快乐。
只有男人的脸面，没有女人的尊严。
雷老爷随随便便回归他最擅长的题材，就做得比今年那堆奥斯卡提名的都要好，真是搞笑。
也是对所处时代语境主流正确的一种迎合。
Chapter three: the truth of the lady Margaret 之后其它字幕淡出，大银幕上只留下the truth两个词，小小的，在角落，但是600多年后的这个recognition已经算是很难得的关怀了，中世纪叙事里难得的女性视角。作为女性，看后半部分简直如坐针毡，那种没有出路的憋闷感实在是太令人窒息。前两章男性视角中，女主角都是功能性角色，温顺的妻子或欲拒还迎的荡妇，而事实上，女主是一个很有趣的人，这样一个有趣的人，被父亲作为交易品，被丈夫作为生殖工具，被其他男人看作猎物，然后成为一场事关男人权力的决斗的祭品，从始至终孤立无援，求告无门，被男人侮辱包围审判直至被推上祭台。最后的决斗扣人心弦，只因它决定一个女人的命，但赢了，也没有喜悦，只有无尽的悲凉。
3.这电影真的太酷了！
棋盘上的傀儡们有尝试过挣扎，王，将，骑士，公主，平民。拍的挺好的，拍法的不同营造了巨大的观测偏差，关于人类，大抵如此。
这电影第一主角是玛格丽特第二主角是土地，从头到尾对于男人们最重要的是土地和子嗣（因为i可以继承土地），而压迫女性的除了男性也有其他女性，所以性别战争的背后其实还是体制对个体的压迫，唯一夺权的办法不仅是死老公，还有对土地的获得。其实无论女人还是男人，独立和尊严都是以财产为依托的啊。
以《罗生门》式叙述划分为三部分，重复的事件、场景从不同的人物、角度展示，但它们之间的差异往往是微妙的。《罗生门》对事件的各种解释都说明了感知主观的必然性，而雷德利·斯科特的立场本身（对角色的感知）就是主观的：导演以父亲的方式站在玛格丽塔一边，充当现代社会的控告者，而不是中世纪的法国。
《最后的决斗》采取了多人的视觉和章节式的结构，这样的做法并不新鲜。但是雷德利·斯科特这一次向我们展示了扎实的拍摄技法功底和优越的电影制作水准。虽然三位主角不同的视角存在很多重复的片段和场景，但是《最后的决斗》做到了既能以微小的细节变现说服力，又不会像同样的类型片中以大相径庭的不同视角造成唐突感。虽然改变于真实事件，但是《最后的决斗》仍然能够让当下的观众感受到其中对于中世纪法国王权制度的迂腐和不公的批判，与此同时以一个“开放式”的结局提升了整部电影的魅力。
精湛！非竞赛比主竞赛好看系列，以马代人，真相和谎言穿插，夺人也是夺人心，给雷爵士五星好评！
碰瓷罗生门，但出发点却完全的不同，虽然我是小透明但也不敢再说了……罗生门当年我给4星，这个本来想少1星，但想到老雷已经84岁了，再加上从电影本质来讲本片还是非常精彩的，那就还是给到4星吧
片子非常不错，不知道票房为什么那么差，也不知道颁奖季能否有点收获。雷导的电影不管好坏，我都是要看的，毕竟他也拍不了几年了。
大本真瘦啊，演的比蝙蝠侠好啊。编剧又是这兄弟俩嗷。贱兮兮的小皇帝也演的好。 以及，拍的是很好，但总觉得这个阵容这个制作这个时长，有点杀鸡用牛刀？
罗生门式叙事结构，但珠玉在前，何况比起黑泽明之作，剧本和剪辑都逊色了不少，整体上显得没有太亮眼了。后来才知道 原来是一部女性主义电影。
中世纪女权电影，罗生门的叙事手法。虽然没有天国王朝的战争场面，但是一个好故事也足矣给观众留下深刻印象了。
路途性的消失，动作仅仅是动作的概念和它的结果，也就是场面调度的消失，所以三段叙述理所当然地用上了同样的分镜。在这里，“中世纪”只是一种装修风格。某兔姓友邻嗦得好，“角色不识字，可是导演识字呀”，上一个镜头，发情种马在交配，下一个镜头，Jean扑在Marguerite身上做爱。行吧……拍得很好，下次别拍了。
个人认为Chapter three, the truth based on Marguerite de Carrouges后久久不退幕的the truth有些多此一举，因为看完前两个chapters观众已经在期待女性视角了，the truth 有强烈指向性，叙事上已经站边了让观感受到了一点影响。剧本的设计代入了现代视角跟整体风格还是有点脱节，其余都很出色，我很愿意为票房出一份力。坦白讲……Adam Driver 就不属于主流审美中风流倜傥的长相，居然演了一个公认大帅哥，让人想笑，他明明是长得有点点奇怪又莫名性感啊！
底片是同一张底片，可卡鲁日的显影药水叫“对尊严的虚荣盲信”、勒格里的显影药水叫“欲望自噬的陷阱”、玛格丽特的显影药水叫“女人觉醒的主体性”。
