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.
一年少看两部这样的话剧片，生命会多很多乐趣
字面意义上中规中矩密闭空间电影，反转悬念点到为止，结局推进过快为了抖包袱其实有点崩了，好在细节跟得上。喜欢那个“你枪里没子弹”的妙笔，可能是整部电影的缩影。
马克里朗斯演了个洗脑嘴炮大王。裁缝店的英国古典绅士风格还不错，前半比较好看，剧情有点硬。
4.0/5.0 煽情太直白 第三幕依旧眼眶湿润
看的时候很爽，尤其是藏尸那段
剧本的张力真的不错，不过也有些地方看的有些捉急，结尾有点可惜，我觉得老爷子要是能一直稳到最后就更好了。
剧情走向完全猜不到。编剧也太牛了吧。一个裁缝用一张嘴干掉了两个坏人团伙。难以置信。
喜欢这种氛围感，剧本相当精彩。
话剧感的电影 拍摄手法有点意思 不过吊起的胃口却没法喂饱
他不说话，只倾听，没人知道他脑子里想什么
严重依赖剧本和演员演技的话剧电影，只有一个场景，一点也不枯燥，节奏飞快，转折不断，非常厉害了。8/10
老戏骨小成本密室杀人，适合引进改编，容易让电影院有回光返照的错觉。
摇摇欲坠但最终不露破绽，各种穿插小标题讨巧又讨喜，小场景又一佳作诞生。would it help 大哥表现可圈可点，唯独最后的匪气不足。
文本太精彩了，丝毫不觉得乏味枯燥！花小钱办大事，赶紧改成话剧吧……
密闭空间的压迫性没弄出来，故事编排上做得还可以，但是戏剧性和冲突上还是略微有点欠火候。
今年仿佛是充满怀旧气氛的一年。索伦蒂诺在回忆他十六岁的那不勒斯，肯尼斯则拍了他是一个儿童眼中动荡的贝尔法斯特。浅草小子则是属于北野武的青年时期。浅草小子从内容上来说其实并不算非常出众，但是它是一个真实的故事。而作为一个真实的故事，剧中的那些点就不是技巧性的压抑和煽情，而是真的让人在笑声中流泪，又在悲伤中微笑。全片最打动人的三场戏，一是功成名就的北野武和师傅深见在鲸的饭店里配合着说段子，一屋子笑声不断，最后北野武在师傅脚下放了双红色的高跟鞋，这是徒弟对师傅教导的铭心不忘，也是师傅生前最后的高光时刻。第二段是北野武在师傅灵前说的段子，我想这种大悲下说出的笑话只有师徒两人才懂吧。曹丕让大家学驴叫也是千古意同吧。第三段就是全片最后师傅教训观众的话，深见对于北野武的关爱尽在其中。本片的剪辑也是一个亮点
merry chrismas
影帝的北野武，那种凶的气场一下子就能找得到（除了少了一点年迈感我还真以为是那个男人）。怪不得北野武看起来那么凶又那么温柔，原来是师父就喜欢八嘎八嘎八嘎啊。所以北野武看了会不会评分吖
男主凭借演技让murmur也很有魅力。
小成本佳作，剧情工整多次反转BUG不明显，马克·里朗斯发挥出色。总结说就是各方面做的都不差，但也称不上最佳，尤其是几次为了反转而反转没有做好铺垫，显得非常生硬。最后就是这个译名，誓不低头到底什么鬼？直译又是什么鬼……
