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.
没想到是个Bad Ending，猝不及防地和唐家屯灵魂老太太告别了。从默片电影到有声电影，唐顿庄园也迎来了它的新时代，但我真的不想和这个系列说再见...
从开头就开始爆哭，两个小时眼泪没停过，but u know, we have to move on
不要忘了你是谁，从哪里来，也不要被此所束缚
质量依然不错 马修像童话里的王子一样 算是呼应美女与野兽？
大满足，故事线很流畅，没有尿点。可惜影院画面极奇糊，芒果剧幕影院，再也不去了！！！ “Stop the noise，I can't hear myself die.”
只要拍我就看我就爱！学士论文就关于唐家屯！！
所以唐顿3是要讲巴罗被酷似克拉克盖博的男明星拐走的事吗。
三星纯感情分，其实和电视剧没区别，为了熬出点电影感，硬是把一条主线安排成拍摄有声电影，大小姐居然成了英国的有村架纯😅 既然大部分演员都还健在，不如继续拍电视剧吧。
@@@（2021-09-18）鬼滅の刃 鼓屋敷編（鬼灭之刃 鼓屋敷篇）
一个时代结束了。麦格教授 will always watching. 就是这么大阵仗，第二个老公还是没有死回来。
这一部突然发现老爷和Mary都有了不少岁月的痕迹，开始变老，想起当年追第一个圣诞特辑的种种回忆，这么多年对Mary的欣赏一直未变，她是一个就算独自一人也会永远潇洒优雅扛起全家的那个人，以及Violet / Maggie，我依然无法想象不再有你的那一天。
剧情一般 甚至有点俗套 想说类似英国版的红楼梦 可是内涵还是远远不及红楼梦 亮点在于风景和服化道 如果只是想体验一下英式贵族生活那还挺好的
实在忍不住开倍速了。反正是看过的番。
因为只有我一个人看，检票妹妹特好奇，出来之后问我好看吗，我说我英国亲戚的事儿当然好看哈哈！（摩登家庭是我美国亲戚😂）
本吃瓜群众代入感强，老夫老妻的长篇小说桥段很受用，满意。
我有个像你一样的妹妹。
默默一个人在影院里看完，默默泪目，默默微笑，真高兴看到这样美满幸福的结局。每个人都会找到属于自己的幸福啊。
时代的告别式。上一次已经是疫情前，第一季则是12年前了。差点忘了这建筑、这音乐、这家人。
希望美好的事物永不终结，但是世界上毕竟不会有这种事，我们只能享受乐在其中的一段时间，这就是生活。
与第一部一样，精巧的"互文"从剧集的结构进入电影的结构。
