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.
真实表现要比评分好看多了，是伊萨克的独角戏，只是我看的字幕太烂了让我有点生气。可能会有些许沉闷，气氛上也一直冷漠而又疏离，22分钟第一个鱼眼镜头出现以后这部电影才开始真正散发魅力，本身故事和打牌没什么太大联系。
这苦闷下要迸发出来的能量 镜头声音节奏都喜欢。我有点儿觉得i feel you 这想法又莫名可笑。
如果不是夜深人静的时候，我可能会真的看不下去。
enmm what's the story for?~... 复仇和赌博两个故事放在一个电影里真的好吗？
算牌人初进年轻人旅馆镜头首次出戏，整体冷感基调尚不成熟，不出色不坏。
Boys help boys(不是。/《算牌人》不讲算牌，不讲赌博，甚至也不打算讲复仇。/回想起来看过的和听说过的保罗施拉德电影，导演确实拍的一直是同一个故事。/鱼眼回溯过往的方法为什么在每个评论都夸一遍，虽然很好但是——很稀奇？没懂为啥都在夸。/奥斯卡伊萨克帅到令人喷血。我承认我看他看得目不转睛。昨天刚夸了一遍哈维尔巴登。（这真是属于南美长相的一周。）/导演有一种自己的“反高潮”。尤其一个半小时结合拉进度条看内容的时候会有感觉。/结尾致敬《扒手》明确。/多嘴说一句，帅哥男主搭的不是幼龄傻白甜也不是符号化的尤物，同龄、风韵犹存但也像是有故事的样子。希望这种平权细节能多有。
这片要放在二十年前绝对是部美式文艺神片，无论是男主的挑选还是整体的调调，都可以打满分的。可惜在短视频占统治地位的今天，节奏就稍微有些慢了，信息密度有些低，爽点不够多，也就是我这样的古董业余观影人才会喜欢点赞吧。而且还有一个硬伤就是，为了迎合美式的政治正确，非得整个肥黑女做女主，真是拉垮全片。如果换成一个金发白皮尤物，那这片几乎就没有任何缺点了。
老中青三代男神都救不了的拉胯。9分的摄影风格，1分的剧本和对白。装逼过头的莫名其妙
问题应该有两点：一可能是制作成本上预算太低；二是施拉德导演天赋太差
讽刺社会的隐喻？可惜对赌博类一窍不通尽管呆地连声音都帅气可voiceover解释部分完全入不了脑……
摄影和配乐都很好，但是故事不够戏剧化，多了真实感，却过于平淡让人食之无味，弃之可惜。
监狱闪回的痛苦 要"以你我的方式终结"拒绝了大男主路线
保羅許瑞德。Oscar Isaac。好看。
说的是啥呢 148#2021年看104部电影
daddy还是那个daddy，一把掀翻小屁孩的时候我只能 wow~ 其实配乐都很好听，就是用力过度了一点，太想营造纸醉金迷的糜烂气氛了，以至于整部电影都像一篇“散”文诗。
《第一归正会》的模式延续，亦或该将故事追溯至《出租车司机》。只剩下与昔日罪孽搏斗的死去的心灵在对另一颗伤痕累累的心灵拯救上看到了与自我和解的希望。逼仄，压抑，故事发展缓慢，一如倾注于牌局的那份极致的冷静与控制，却也投射向回忆书写里往日监狱的折磨与狂虐。算牌和审讯都是博弈，即便被无情却空洞的眼神骗过，萦绕于影片中的喘息声也昭示着负罪的灵魂在这两个禁锢的空间中徘徊。爱情戏是败笔，而除了主角外的人物塑造也并不成功，但在施拉德一贯的故事模式和这鲜明的上世纪好莱坞风格下，让人仿佛回到了昔日斯科塞斯的世界里，而在那里，我们曾经何等感慨不已。
奥斯卡太辣太帅了，剧情比较平淡，但是结局还不错
就算保罗·施拉德一遍又一遍地在重复自己以往的创作那又如何呢？我反正很吃这一套。电影的质感令人着迷，奥斯卡·伊萨克对角色的掌握沉稳且精准，我非常喜欢。
好久没看过这么男的电影了…以及这么尴尬的对话。证明出租车司机真的无法复刻。
几乎所有喜欢的镜头都剪在预告片里了。taxi driver的味道吗？有那么一点，不足以支撑我喜欢这部电影。
