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.
叙事逻辑和多处的心理暗示很高明也很卑鄙，这部片子确实是让我认识到有时候某些“艺术禁令”是有必要的。有宗教信仰的朋友不适宜观看。
你一样嘴硬着 那种孤勇
恐怖片拍好了能膈应到人，你们要骂要打低分……不吓人你们又嚷嚷电影降智，拍不好可以不拍，华语影坛再无恐怖片……本大陆人觉得某些大陆巨婴观众真难伺候😬活该看一辈子正能量样板戏嗷。
这种诅咒观众，真的不舒服。还好有社会主义核心价值观护体。
故事拼凑，叙事稀烂，伪记录就跟学前班拍的，音效刺耳，无效废戏一堆，素人演技尴尬，整体给人很廉价的项目，《kb》起码还有冲突的视觉刺激交出，这玩意儿除了开篇抛出自视耐人寻味的视觉议题，就只剩下故弄玄虚和刻意的惊声尖叫来凑时长，从头到尾没觉被吓到，氛围营造的也很假掰，每个角色都要撞头了结，创意词穷，挖掘浅显，民俗文化流于表面，所有对这部电影的前期期待通通都落空了。★
毫无代入感的恐怖片，各种超自然现象没有逻辑地堆砌，全靠一惊一乍的视觉冲击和音效在制造恐怖，这是最低级的手段。既然要主角拿着摄像机拍成伪纪录片，那就多使用长镜头吧，否则一个场景各种视角来回切换真的很出戏！
除了预告片里有的那个，其他基本完全不恐怖，对于节奏的把握实在是做得很不好，以及互动算是创意吧，但也就不知道骗谁。。。强升华又，有点硬尬了。
多好的恐怖片啊，虽然故事还是那种误闯-诅咒-不幸-追源-对抗式故事，但导演拍出新意了啊！拍的多好啊！难得一个导演知道什么是恐怖，怎样体现恐怖，玩的就是心理暗示和氛围，比那些就知道玩特效的恐怖片导演不知道高到哪里去。ps：那些相信结尾诅咒的人是有多缺心眼儿？因为这个给低分？还晦气…中国拍不出好恐怖片就是因为这些人，不过也感谢你们变相为这片子宣传了。
在迷信的层面，无需讨论文化断层。当代社交媒体上“吃不胖符”、“水逆退散符”可以过万转，那么在这片土地上，弥散性宗教的思想和实践，再过一千年也不会变。
爱你对峙过宗教
之前不知道无视了多少条“看到转发就。。。”的动态，照样一路走过来了。。看把人担心的要命
宝宝们不用担心晦气，看盗版的大陆人收不到台湾的正版诅咒
7+的片昨晚放出资源立马就6.4了。1女主人设蠢且自私，好讨厌，想给观众下咒，但一看就能识破，她让你跟着念和盯着看跟着做，撸撸猫哼哼歌喝个水，心里默念反弹反弹反弹。2最后讲清楚了这组织的来龙去脉，也说清楚了女主动机，三星可以打底。3以分发祝福为饵诱人上钩共享诅咒这个概念还挺新颖的。4精华全在预告片系列。5女主像刘若英到经常引发我出戏。
最后，诅咒反弹给这部电影的编剧和导演！
最后一部分的反转既是对主题的升华又是一种对电影的破坏，所谓的“晦气”在我看来是一种冒犯性，一开始赤裸裸摆明了伪纪录片的形式做好了是否相信的充分铺垫，再最后用反转同时强化/打破真实性。在结合最后纪念女儿，更是将整部影片提升到了形成一种仪式的真实感上。内容上是一个走投无路的反派女主不断扩散诅咒，形式上是导演利用、操纵女主在扩散诅咒，否则无法实现诅咒的扩散与传播。甚至解决了一部分伪纪录片恐怖片里的视点问题，当然中间还是有很多瑕疵尤其是回忆捉鬼小队那部分的内容充满了破绽
有意思的地方在于，某种程度上，剥离掉词汇的情绪语境的话，“祝福”和“诅咒”或许可以看做是“迷信”这件事的一体两面，但是大家都只愿意接受祝福，不愿接受诅咒，尤其是对于大多数并没有宗教信仰的国人来说。换言之，如果你觉得你“不迷信”，那么你就不应该觉得“晦气”；如果你觉得你“迷信”，那么就应该清楚，它在祝福你的那刻起，诅咒也自然伴随而来，正如片中提的“祸福相依”一样。所以看到那么多短评觉得被冒犯，这个我觉得还蛮意外的，看来大家都好代入哈哈。影片试着站在观众情感立场的反面来讲这件事，借助所谓“意念”这个点来“操控”甚至“玩弄”观众，还挺敢的。但撇掉这点，伪纪录片的形式在没有达到创新的情况下，反而拖累了叙事，再加上剪辑和视点之乱，也影响了情节本身的推进。整体看完，觉得很累，是观感和情感上都很累。

所有看完此片的朋友，请大声念三遍如下咒语：
最后，诅咒反弹给这部电影的编剧和导演！
恐怖倒是不恐怖，就是这种打破第四面墙和观众互动的形式太特么缺德晦气了！想拿石头砸导演家窗户。友情提示看到后面要念咒不要念，叫你记图案不要记，信则有，不信则无。
