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.
西瓜皮顶在头上，狮子头放在心里，背咸鱼跑在乡间，佛祖在密林深处
前半段太春晚了，在电影院简直坐立难安。后半段突然情节立体了，故事真实了，人物丰富了……鼓点敲到心里去了。
别扯哪吒是国漫崛起，这部才是。瑕不掩瑜的好，留守儿童，进城民工，内核够支撑剧情。光影好，近远景切的时机好，电影感强，细节满分，飞跃的球鞋，甚至连舞狮比赛美的的广告都很真实。扣分也有，节奏还有进步空间，煽情多了容易滥情，看得出想法多，有情怀但也可以有取舍。有很多致敬片段和无聊的玩笑也可以删减（最后，导演怕不是乐队的夏天脑残粉吧？
是感兴趣的题材，小格局小情节却很专注。注入了《我是传奇》的框架，《瓦力》的温情，《爱死机》的配方。看待生命有多种方式，如何定义他人他物。如果还有的话，挺想看后传的。★★★☆/7.7
看完后莫名的心情低落…有同感的吗？抑或只是时也命也？
真挺好的，让人看到周星驰最后是如何终于在大陆的创作者这里得到了显影。
在电影中，舞狮是一个龙套一直努力训练被主角只需要打打工就可以赢下的项目
心有猛狮，然而梦想终究高于现实，人总能在追求梦想的道路上慰藉到自己
看完后莫名的心情低落…有同感的吗？抑或只是时也命也？
无按头说教
推开楼顶的门，少年一人练习舞狮到天明——从这里开始，一直到电影结束，都很好，电影所要传达的，我感受到了。没有聚焦到成功与喝彩，而是落于那股力，最后回归生活。如果演员们的口音再本地化一点就更好了～
贴标签，吐口水很容易，不要因为偏见错过这部诚意之作，国产动画太难了，请给优秀的作品多些鼓励好吗？
类型片大杂烩，都是老套路，很难共情，唯一动人的倒是沉默安静的杜威。
75/100
1/很难得在大屏幕上看到阿娟及其父母这样人的身影，正如结尾曲唱的“城市的背影”。就这一点而言，对岭南区域文化的展现也很有趣味，这部动画电影特别有社会学意义。2/很难得看到其中可爱的女孩阿娟形象，一个姐姐，助人者形象。3/人物都相对真实（反而不觉得像有些网友感觉的脸谱话）要知道大数据之下，有多少留守儿童，农村家庭结构就是如此，父辈外出打工，拿命换钱，甚至也没换到什么钱，賺的钱不够抵御一次意外的风险，一次意外，全家落底，孩子也要再次出门打工托底。
jeff的内心太细腻了 开心到跺脚 委屈到抱胸 小心翼翼的探头探脑…
我哭很惨但不影响我觉得不行。
废土+公路，都是我的点。但这片最有意思的，却是讲一台“生不逢时”的人工智能，该怎样去面对一个彻底崩坏的世界。芬奇给了杰夫“生命”，对他的最大忠告却是不要相信任何人类。你说这对杰夫来说，是不是一个让系统紊乱的哲学命题？这就够了，这片就是拍给后疫情时代的人类的，谁敢说未来的世界不会比电影更糟糕呢？
电影世界里的机器人，我最爱的是瓦力，现在又多了一个谢夫。
值得全国非遗界的学者观摩的影片，怎么把一项学术的事业，变成一种艺术。把非遗的核心指向人，只有人带入情感，有心理化作用，它才成为作品。
