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.
剧本是不错的，各类人物登场时机、人物线等，感情戏稍显突兀
如果说胜利者书写了历史，最后的成功真的是反德人事的帮衬，骗中骗太多了的结果，亦或是领袖最后的审时度势，也许永远无法知晓了，但最终的结果肯定是历史胜利的坐标，而007作者的坐镇也算是一个不大不小的惊喜
别被卡司骗了，这属于没必要浪费时间去看的那种电影，不知道这个著名行动的没必要选它来了解，知道的更没必要看，因为加了很多匪夷所思的细节，比如和谍战无关并表现得很低端的禁断之爱……
硬伤挺明显的，但是也挺有趣味。有意思多于有意义。
没有逻辑的说出了机器人统治世界的种种危机
这段历史事件是很重要，很紧张，但影片真的一点紧张氛围都没拉的起来。
小时候看《世界五千年》知道的这个故事，今天终于在屏幕（可惜不是银幕）圆梦了
从间谍行动中可以看见上世纪40年代英国的官员阶层与具体行动究竟在如何展开的大致轮廓，期间还穿插了多边的爱情线。结尾的大远景表达了一种英雄隐于市的心态，很喜欢。拍摄制作绝对一流。值得学习。
在战火中相遇，在虚幻下相爱。蛮浪漫的，但咱主要是来看紧张刺激的间谍行动的，爱情的比重可以不那么大。
碎片时间看的，讽刺味十足，但是好像机器人反叛和覆灭，都和人类没关系，当人发明的ai成为主导的时候，人的作用反而不大了
科幻小品，有几个地方还挺好笑的。类似的题材已经屡见不鲜，让-皮埃尔·热内也没能拍出什么新意。
全程如坐针毡。这位编剧是写舞台剧出身的吧？可以去和开心麻花学习一下如何把群口相声影视化。
2站中最有名的欺诈战，为西西里登陆创造了条件。
现在的电影人用好的影片一部一部的为我们展示着历史中重要的事件 胜利者用影片回忆着每一个胜利的时刻 书写着每一段历史
人类最成功的发明，是幽默。这句还蛮有意思，回味了很久。家用机器人们为了更好的服务人类想了各种方式，拟人，幽默，学习，在人类出现危险时挺身而出。反观人类，出现问题各自有各自的立场和选择，对比下来更为可笑。巨型漏洞，更像是片尾机器人操作中的那一失误，才拯救了这个社会。黑色幽默。
无聊透顶！我三分钟拉进度条看完，没必要看。
明明是个真实战争事件，却拍成了一个矫情的职场剧，里面的每个环节都不够精彩，竟然还要加这么细节冗长的三角感情戏，拜托了你是战争谍战片耶
添加了很多没有必要的旁枝，让影片主杆没了力度。
封控在上海的第47天看，太讽刺了，魔幻......
這劇情最大敗筆就是在科技發達的未來社會，管理方面的落後理念還刻意停留在十九世紀某個年代那某種不成熟的製度框架內，然後就看片中角色人物一起如何搞文藝復興打破強權專製，所以總體來說這片煽動觀眾反對政府管製的造反情緒，但法國人生活的情趣浪漫卻是這片最大魅力所在。法國人還是玩文藝的高手。
