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.
太意识流了本人看不懂…就觉得能消化塑料那改造挺好的（（（（K这个造型好看
误以为是退回到感官世界、变蝇人的柯南伯格，结果依然是body horror包裹下的星图或大都会。只是不再以视角/突发事件作为切割，语义更加统一。对话不停的为行为充当注解，屏幕内外发生的是同样的事—权利的垄断或是思维的垄断。纹身是器官进化的障眼法，body horror是柯南伯格的障眼法。那些关乎未来的事，终究没有答案。
另，虽然任何年龄段的女人爱上维果都是比较顺理成章的事情，但是能不能不要再
about the domination of the body, the functional not the decorative way of evolution , the choice of rebellion or acceptance...
虽然有Viggo但这个类型不太合我口味……即便知道柯南伯格就是这种画风，也觉得过去看过的都比这部好。这个电影最大的问题是仅仅讲述了一个概念，令人感觉只需要一个短片就可以说清楚……另外，实在无法理解摇来晃去的椅子……
怪异的未来，人体进化了，艺术也进化了，连性爱也进化了。蕾雅赛杜很美。
柯南伯格又打开了一种迷人的高概念世界，而Saul Tenser最后的变异，让这个概念向前跨出重要一步的同时也升华了整部电影。在细微入里的快感体验中，人们的精神开始扭曲，开始走向悲剧，吃下塑料的Saul，果真是五味杂陈地坦然面对。小K的表演看得我有点懵，我只能强行解释成柯南伯格让她这样演，但还是觉得别扭。
预感不咋样结果真的睡着了……就不应该信这个邪
Surgery is the new sex。无聊到堆砌各种名词解释了，全都是正确的废话。不喜欢。
绝不是一无是处，但看完头好痛。不同角色和不同场景之间的割裂感让整个设定都变得更加生涩，没看懂且就打算这么算了。
将人类的一切存在剥离到只剩下身体和器官的程度。
柯南伯格创造了一个具有全新概念的世界，身体由人类掌控，器官成为艺术，血腥艺术，手术即是性交，大量全新的概念涌入倒是创造了不小的观影压力，但是不得不说全程看下来竟然觉得蛮有意思的。斯图尔特和维果那段对话看得我真难受啊，一个口里卡着痰，一个说话喘大气…（借用柯南伯格那时对《潘神的迷宫》的吉尔莫德尔托罗说的话：“拍的很棒，但是金棕榈就别想了”）
4.1 「未來」是觀念性的想像，身體作為這個觀念展現的媒介在電影裡成為了幾種思路都在爭奪話語權的領域（藝術表達者、工業製造的反噬進而催生的身體政治群體、生物倫理的合法性）觀看的過程很像在看電影論文，有非常多有趣的討論，也因為這點電影裡有不少我們已知的廢話對話。略感可惜，畢竟柯南伯格對人類精神與感官的慾望以及就個體追求刺激性存在進而深入人類本身的探索不論在他哪部電影裡都是超前於現實的。未來罪行略顯保守，並沒有完整回答舊（現）時代裡我們所糾纏耽溺於的基本困惑。again, 手術即神壇
相信自己的身体。相信世界，相信疼痛，相信存在。背后的世界观让人浮想联翩，很有趣
听不懂，看不懂，
很想知道贺建奎的基因剪辑宝宝们现如今到底怎么样了！？片子让我很困扰的一点是，维果，一个在木兰花“催产床“控制下时不时长出奇怪器官的人，怎么能声称Lang（一具被改造过的躯体）“发明”了一个拥有自然生成的塑料消化系统的孩童是一个疯狂的想法？？？casting太不可🈲，本来就很干很单薄的幽默全被这些so called star拖累
很久没有中途退场过了，太恶心了。导演手法极其幼稚，每个镜头都很刻意。0分
Ce goût nostalgique de la SF organique retrouvé du vieux Cronenberg (quelle joie!!) sonne paradoxalement ici la dissonance vis-à-vis de cette constante mutation du corps humain au cœur du récit. Le corps a changé, le body horror de Cronenberg semble immuable. Quelques concepts et designs même en harmonie avec cet univers futuriste crépusculaire ne remplaceront guère l'âme de l'œuvre, qui laisse un arrière-gout inachevé.
对某一议题的探讨程度总是止于表面，与之而来的是缭绕在音乐和语气语调里的回味感，以及与人物同频的思考过程，从崇拜到惶恐的惊悚感。人类要为自己种下的恶果负责，妄图抗衡或掌控变化不切实际。是未来的寓言，也是当下的警示。
