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.
“成绩好就是好孩子”
北欧horror真是一冷到底，没有哪一组人物关系让人有安全感，这位妈妈的皮笑肉不笑我真的会害怕和不安。因为隐喻非常容易理解，所以破壳后的剧情少了很多惊喜。有几个镜头令人不适，从《遗传厄运》开始，我发现各种烂掉头部的特写emmm我都不太想看。
四星给童年的美好回忆吧！
还挺有趣，前半段完全可以把蛋与孵化看做女孩自身的压力与焦虑的缩影。
导演关于情节节奏的掌控实在是一团乱麻，再多的隐喻与深奥的表达也索然无味
四星给童年的美好回忆吧！
其实作为儿童电影算是不错的了。但原著真的真的要好很多，其实按原著拍的话会更好的
病态的家庭环境下孵化出更病态的孩子……22.05.24
倒是没有传说中的芬兰社恐梗，
其次偏低领的剧情，没有太欣赏得来，不过设定就是这样，那就没什么挑剔得了，
郑渊洁童话yyds
有《钛》的味道。一个破碎的原生家庭：软弱的爸爸、虚荣和控制欲强的妈妈，孵化了一个黑暗嗜血的女儿。
黑暗怪异的现代童话。就像，杜鹃鸟会把蛋下在其他鸟的鸟巢中，孵化出的后代将杀死并替代原生的雏鸟。
精巧俗套的寓言故事，又是一部借用恐怖元素的伪文艺小清新电影。无非就是自私自利的家长最终会把孩子善良的一面抹杀，长大成人就是逐渐变得残忍的过程。
剧情比较空，但结局留了足够的空间让人浮想联翩。
我就不喜欢这种没有因果报应的恐怖片。 而且还磨磨唧唧
救命啊，这是干什么。。。拍不好还是不要拍了，看的好尴尬啊
什么结局😅…
开头几分钟阴冷气质就出来了，孵化意识对抗强权
矫枉必须过正本身就是郑渊洁童话（或言作品）的一贯特色，二十多年前的小学差不多就这样，改编得挺一本正经的。我还是最想看金拇指和智齿。
