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.
好长气的对话，其实推进得好慢。但这三人的精神觉悟还是很高的，不伤害任何平民、警察，因为他们深知这么操作会变质，他们只是需要引起社会的足够重视就够了。任何一个运动或项目，要推翻或达成这件事，都不是那么容易的。电影把现实中的他们美化了，然后还牵起释放曼德拉的运动，是真的么？补补历史才行，否则就会出现英国绥靖导致二战参战国有时间备战这些错误的历史认识
小成本 讲述一个异乎寻常的神奇罪案 开端貌似两个倒霉蛋的逃亡 到最后谁是正方 谁是反派 导演讲述南非当年的社会 也许电影要讲的东西更多
这个故事真的不论看了哪个版本，都会流泪感动啊。
种族隔离制度是所有人的噩梦，所有不平等的制度是人类的噩梦。
黑人为了自由，为了自身不被种族歧视而抗争之路，在有白人的世界一直那么艰难。这部影片也拍的很真实，充满了人性的张力。《误杀2》似乎和这个真实的故事很有相似。
作为少数不被认同的群体也许会很艰难吧
奈飞的手和气魄……人类总是在做那些无意义的压制和自我感觉良好的事
这是最近难得值得我推荐的电影，什么时候老约翰·布朗的最后时刻也拍成这样的悲壮，就对了。
看完一段时间完全想不起来剧情了，大概是关于成长吧，发生在高中生身上一切都合理
释放曼德拉是男主灵机一动，绝境之中的提议，彰显了历史的随机偶然性。
很明确的提出了现实中同性恋的问题，但剧情有些许离谱，尤其在处理同学之间关系，很难接受被骗当同妻之后又接受他，四星给神尾枫珠
啊啊啊，这个是17年一部日剧改编的！我看过
孩子啊，莫自责，莫强求，
虽然是基于真实事件，但剧情起码有一半是编的（不懂司法部女儿这个角色的存在是为啥，略煽情做作）。不过历史上Silverton trio的确点燃了释放曼德拉的星星之火。为自由而战的故事永远让人动容。
如鲠在喉
节奏很好，原型改成女性不觉得是zzzq的妥协，女演员也演得很好。
我不知道答案，我只知道还好有电影，还好有音乐，还好有诗歌，书籍，还好有思想
苦大仇深黑哥们的故事快看吐了 再结合南非如今发展的“成果”……
后来过了很久是被纯爱的海报欺骗下载了来看
在最恶劣的环境中，心存善良，为信仰而战，历史会告诉世人，所追求信仰的对错。
