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.
其实内容都是简单到俗的内核，但是就不知道为什么处理的特别舒服流畅，留白很妙，且深度，这种观影像是在读村上春树的小说。也有点像日式的侯麦，只是亚洲人特有的细腻和对女性那种自我的剖析都更易产生共鸣。最喜欢第三个故事，整个故事浪漫并散发着如阳光一样温暖的善意。
命运之一种错过。短片一的女生看似勇敢，但遇到真正心动的人时依旧心有余悸，在车上聊天的神态足以表明沦陷太深，所以最后选择了成全；短片二的女生借着欲望逃离束缚的家庭，虽然身体戒不掉学弟，但心早属于教法语的教授，开着门意味着欲望和情感都无处躲藏，直面自己的人生，最后她不再是欲望的奴隶，因为她挣脱了束缚（即便是被动的）；短片三是两个女人的命运交汇，也真是棋逢对手，角色扮演《原合法副本》，回望过去相遇当下，因为陌生所以熟悉，因为懂得所以慈悲，在小林想起钢琴家名字后的两人相拥（高潮处）戛然而止。是偶然也是必然，是真实也是想象。感觉导演很喜欢洪常秀阿巴斯，电影性十足，配乐隐隐约约，在真实日常的生活里制造浪漫场景，超越日常，电影的奇妙性在此展现的淋漓尽致。四星半
第三个故事太打动我了，非常非常喜欢。竟然感觉到一点点岩井俊二的意味，情书+花与爱丽丝？错认与再次扮演仿若浑然天成，毫不刻意，单一的场景与大量台词留白强烈，代入的不仅是过往时光，还有彼时的心意，澎湃情感……能成为密友大都带着爱吧。
影片最后升华到女性对于不公不义，以及争取真相和公平正义的思考，影片根据真实故事改编，背景虽然放在中世纪的法国，但却映照了当今女性正在面临的困境和呐喊和抗争。
「海王 / 我被绿了 / 你好婊……」令人生气又出戏，电影节放映版字幕翻成这样low极了，自以为贴近观众，得意洋洋地伤害每一个认真琢磨台词的创作者。
小而美犹如舒曼，温柔精致如片中所有女性的穿着。可惜对时刻小心翼翼确认“我是谁 我需要什么 我快不快乐”的日本女性无法心有戚戚，第一个故事里的小作精在闯入前男友办公室时的胡作非为反倒是看得人兴奋。
1.《罗生门》式的叙事看起来很漂亮。可在这个故事里，既然已经将旗帜插在了女主这边，这种叙事看起来就十分没必要。两位男性都在yy夸大普信，只有女主说得最对，这什么歪理？
用最简单的镜头，捕捉最细微的人类情感，呈现最密集的信息量。是那种拥有文学性的电影了，就是说如果没有画面，只读剧本也可以称为佳作。
【A】看完更多的是惊喜之感 涌上心头 三个小故事 如果让我排序最喜欢哪个 是很难排的 因为我觉得讲的故事 不分上下都是冲击力特别的强的 1《开着的门》；2《再来一次》；3《魔法》
不喜欢日系絮絮叨叨却没有剧情的对白戏，它更像是三出台上戏剧。这就是人的空想社交吧——生活百无聊赖的人写得出小说吗。
童颜御姐祝舔狗幸福+性瘾女学生色诱老师搞出乌龙+中年老t老家寻爱认错人。哈哈哈哈但竟然很好看。好看得可爱。
人心里那些幽微的秘密，不能对人言说的，才是最精彩的部分吧。每个人的一生，都是一场远行，有时会走到一些莫名其妙的地方，或许回首路已迷，但那些细碎的温情，就像一束光一样令人遍身温暖。
一个意想不到的三角恋、一场未遂的诱惑和一个因误会而相遇的故事
#HKIFF# 很文学式好看，是靠对白带动故事写得最聪明的类型，偶然和想象中的关系流动无限迷人。原来自然真切的聊天感是靠整周排练出来。后方看啥都在狂笑的男子真的破坏体验
当然是好看的，滨口龙介对于生活日常中magic hour的抓取与延申有相当高妙的敏感度，神采洞察，形采凝聚，甚至触摸到了小说的边界。BJIFF@资料馆
同为2021年作品，《偶然与想象》比《驾驶我的车》更值得奥斯卡，被导演滨口龙介惊艳到。三个故事「再度」、「把门打开」、「魔法」。「再度」设定太过天才，繁杂对白终于不再悬浮，字字句句轻轻重重错落敲打在心头。陌生人的相互成全，如此可感的美好与治愈，近些年来影视作品里实数少见！「把门打开」则值得所有中年男人看一看。「魔法」略显小家子气，作为开篇首个故事，也算抛砖引玉了…
我实在喜欢最后一个故事，如果不做些什么实在对不起这样的意外相遇，如果对一个陌生人，我们是不是更容易袒露心扉呢，
滨口龙介编剧之神，比坂元裕二的直球说理高了好几个次元。大段对白构筑情节的方式回到了《欢乐时光》，但情节本身的跌宕甚至胜过《夜以继日》。很久没有被剧本反复戏弄而又乐在其中的感觉了。
和驾驶我的车一样，无感，太阳春白雪了～中产吃饱饭之后谈爱情和理想和生活方式…相对来说第三个短篇稍微好一点 结局很好
电影看完就比较懵，感觉没看懂，里面太多对话，每个人都一直在说话，可能需要特别全神贯注才能感受到这个电影的意义吧？我觉得3个故事都很奇葩，从第一个开始，每个故事里都有个精神状态似乎不太正常的人。当然了，也可能是太深刻了，我太浅薄，确实看不懂吧。
