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.
韩国拍这种真实新闻改编题材向来有一手，整体气氛烘托得很好，但是结尾的转折太刻意了。观影最大的感受就是：生命如草芥，每天都活在人为制造的不确定性中。
整体的故事的过程显得老套，但这也是真实事件，后面的反转我觉得还可以。

集体诉讼要靠美帝，出口报告测出有毒要靠澳洲，境外势力才是监督韩国无能部门的最大压力。/镜头语言很真实很残忍，片尾卧底反转略微理想化了。
政客，财团，商人，律师，一个个，一伙伙，熙熙攘攘，皆为利来！中产家庭，光鲜的活着，遇到家庭变故，一朝回到解放前。电影节奏感欠缺！
3.5。反转挺意外的，加分。现实非常令人绝望，无论在那国。。。
i'm waving through the window
最大的人生矛盾是，为活着的人争取更多利益还是自己获得到手的慰籍。
虽然同作者不如再也写不出素媛这样的神作，但他一直在坚持他的坚持
No matter how hard it gets,even if it feels impossible.Don‘t let go.Just hold on and keep going.Just keep going.
不得不说，小泡菜的题材always大胆！男主咋有点像戴军呢……
三星。从真实的悲剧故事取材，在惨淡的社会压抑诞生，叙事手法是空气喷雾气若游丝，故事背景像致命毒素痛彻骨髓。席间的照片是无声的鼓槌，升起的烟雾是有形的锁链，人民是政府的基石还是政治的脚踏，幸福是负重的灵魂还是空壳的支票，生命是同等的宣言还是分级的鸿沟，正义是把玩的规则还是笃定的信条。当戏剧的反转与温吞的庭审走向落幕，唯有大雨中两位父亲相视的目光才是制伏杀人者的最终武器。
Dear Evan Hansen this is gonna be an amazing day:)
6.5分/ B-。虽然是一贯的套路，但根据真实事件，然后又拍出来，这点就很值得点赞。
医生剖开发妻的胸膛，看到被资本毒害的肺脏。庶民坐在正义的殿堂，直面被金钱操纵的人心。杀菌剂故事的背后，是普通人捍卫生命权之路仍充满公仆的冷漠与法度的荒谬。诚然是邻国一部普普通通的流水线作品，但它的存在代表着诘问的声音，仅此一项，值得尊敬。
80/100 我从20分钟开始哭 中间笑了几次 然后一直哭到结尾 哭的我脸疼
电影终归是电影。一个该以记录片严肃正视的问题沦落成电影。
以及Pen Platt无论何时一张嘴都能唱得我一身鸡皮疙瘩
电影拍的血泪真实，看的人声泪俱下
挺一般的，还试图加些意外元素，然并卵，呵呵
