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.
好玩独立但一般。恐怖片还是很能凸现导演风格的，近几年这种砍杀恐怖片的景美术都差不多，架构也大多延续“电锯杀人狂”模式。能玩的出花样的就是杀人前的铺垫了，A24这个小成本玩的不是很差的原因导演占很大一头，很少有纯大俯拍、反复蒙太奇…等独特风格，观感还好，jumpscared有点多，到后来剩最后俩人的时候节奏慢了，有点特意升华性自由的主题了（这个用A片真的洗不白）结尾比较黑色幽默，很河里
诡异感十足，反高潮熟稔，致敬处遍地，交叉蒙太奇过瘾，自嘲解构拉满娱乐性，虽然第三幕破功了，但你还是可以相信A24！
6.5分。算是近年来越发束手束脚的好莱坞的一次不大不小的开放。倒是在这部电影里见到了我看电影到现在都没见过的人设。精虫上脑却又无法行房事的老年夫妻憋久了会怎么样，有点恶趣味。不过抛去这个设定，影片不说离托比·琥珀的《德州》有多远，就连自己本家A24的《遗传厄运》也够不着。固定机位有，头顶俯拍有，但是也就是如此了，套了A24皮的血浆电影猎奇电影。
一个无疾而终的故事，一对莫名其妙杀人的老人，一群无缘无故就死了的年轻人
故事长度适中，但铺垫约占一个钟，其中靠三两个非常套路的惊悚设计和大量色情桥段钓住观众，令节奏过于依赖后半程。过程中有较亮眼的匹配剪辑和契合复古风格的分屏，也有多次使用了似乎不具备任何连接情节或美学形式的意义的闪频式剪辑，让人联想到《逍遥骑士》里的闪回剪辑，它们纯粹像为身份的自觉上赋予反叛主流的精神。置景方面应有参考皮脸家的风格，那熟悉的腐烂、荒废与肮脏的味道。电影最惊悚的地方不在砍杀，而是赤裸地、病态地展露老年人对性与年轻酮体的欲望，这种欲望本身切中了年轻观众因迟早老化而感到恐惧的真实。
Good slasher with attitude. A24 approved. 摄影（特别是开场镜头）、配乐（几处特倩女幽魂）都不错，氛围更是一流，可能是厄运遗传以来令人印象最深的。
推荐给A24的忠粉和B级片爱好者观看。
变态指数:★★★★★
点子虽好但成色欠佳，节奏太慢看得人兴致缺缺，导演表达和虐杀情节一度无法兼容。以及《闪灵》的N+1次用法。如果偏老年人看了绝对火冒三丈，本来老年性生活的话题已经被忽视了太久，你可倒好，直接放到恐怖片里。
这部电影就包含了所有因素。
戒色吧老哥拍的吧，一帮天天涩涩的年轻人被两个没有涩生活的古稀老人轻松玩弄，而在老头终于忍不住涩了一下之后立马心脏病发嗝屁，一定不可以涩涩🌝🌝
整个过程好痛苦，看七老八十的老人做羞羞的事，太恐怖了！前戏略长，部分高能，其实一群小年轻就这么被两个行动如此之慢的老年人团灭，貌似有点出戏了！

【C】导演有很多想法，想表达的东西多少也能get到一些，但文本层面上的东西实在是太匮乏，整个故事的推动比漫威还要更模式化，漫威至少对角色塑造有自己的一套方法，但这里面所有角色都像在讲着既定的台词然后生硬的推着这个观众都明白会发生什么的故事机械式的往前走。

新时代的slasher就是给slasher加动机吗。ooxx没挂居然【】和【】挂掉，不适感顶到头了喂给观众的古怪幽默感哈哈哈。导演的私影片单半数都夹带进来了。女主分饰两角，居然是希亚拉博夫老婆，就……绝配！
德州花样杀人狂之急需解决性生活难题的老年杀人狂群体版
时间点是1979年，70年代的离经叛道即将平息，80年代的保守卷土重来，美国小镇的粗俗、潮流、涩情，和宗教保守、残酷、愚昧，空气中隐隐的不安，即将撞击冲突。最后一幕算是点题和升华，女主角是个”出走的罗拉“啊，很黄很暴力版的，离经叛道的70年代遗族，逃出生天，在迷幻中再次上路，虽然远方只有保守和衰老的未来。
荒诞恐怖小小说。主创软磨硬泡好不容易用半部AV把你撩硬了，突然就扎起了刀子，血浆喷涌而出…让微勃猝不及防。
女主这种傻逼真就靠主角光环活到了最后啊……小电影套排小电影～
