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.
不知点在哪里，也不知宋为什么拿影帝。这届戛纳真的是乱评到荒唐。
是枝裕和对iu演技的把握还是比较精准的，大多数时候都是苦大仇深的面瘫，情感高潮时就把脸一遮（怀疑导演事先看过《我的大叔》…….
have fun，谢谢你。IU确实不够分量，但是枝裕和元素还蛮有趣
跟小偷家族的故事架构有些相似，一群被社会抛弃的边缘人相互支撑取暖的故事。几个人一起去游乐场玩、躺在酒店床上扮作父母的口吻说谢谢……很多细节，导演投向底层的悲悯和温柔，依旧让人泪目：希望每个孩子的降生都能是生命的礼物。
3.5 及格之作，是枝裕和稳定输出，高光时刻是边缘人感谢边缘人的出生。
换掉韩语没有地域性，韩国变成了另一个日本。限定版掮客家族，几个人平淡得还不如警察有戏，被抛弃的还要卖孩子，自己养不了生下来也要卖掉。宋康昊凭这片儿拿影帝太可惜了，处理起来毫无压力。
慢速家庭剧、东方公路片。日本导演的故事并非水土不服，而是韩式父权的凝聚欠缺核心。
是枝拍韓片沒有水土不服，主題依然延續他一直以來探討的「生育」問題，可惜還是缺乏了對韓國社會的觀察，在他導演作中並不算上乘，但看完後又確實會被是枝的溫柔所感動，他永遠都能細膩地刻畫底層小人物的溫情，這也許就是我們愛是枝的原因。
虽然这部电影一如既往的是枝裕和，但观众似乎对导演的这种换汤不换药的温吞技法审美疲劳了。
“谁也不想要，但还是出生了。应该在生下之前就要打掉。”“最终还是丢掉了。”
是枝裕和拍得真好。
意料之外的是枝裕和，那个在冷酷世界里描绘于事无补的糖衣的人好像老了，变得心软了。事实上，在当下此刻，这个比十八年前更加充满震荡与不安的世界，当我们再一次谈起母职与孩子，光有自觉存在的善良是不够用的。
是枝裕和热衷于组建临时家庭…但这组有点塑料味…当然，也有一贯平淡中突然惊雷戳中泪点的小温馨…探讨领养与贩卖的边界，有需求就有市场，不是法定程序太苛刻谁会去花重金买…母亲亲自当人贩算代孕了吗？这么负责的掮客现实中又怎会存在，警察的执法方式真的ok？
自私永远不可能与善良画等号，充其量是个有体会还不一定能感同身受的约等于而已！
日本导演拍的韩国电影，有些不伦不类。是枝裕和固然是一位好导演，但在处理更富有戏剧冲突的剧本时，他的功力是要打折的，即便是《小偷家族》都不好。此片就像包裹着日式清晰，但此类剧本通常处理起来需要韩式爆裂演绎的催化才更能感染人，所以故事始终缺了一份力量感。而这个结尾简直是牛头不对马嘴，仿佛开车出去无所事事逛了一大圈，怅然若失回到了原地，才忽然想起刚才是要出去买烟的。
这回摩天轮的最高点终于不再有亲吻，只是约定终生的情感还是来得太突然。“谢谢你出生在这世上”还是会带来触动，但这触动又不够深。也许是可以不被原谅的“恶”浮于表面，最后得来的“善”就显得有些奢侈。
因為是是枝裕和所以只能兩顆星，李知恩的角色不就是《我的大叔》李至安2.0😅？是枝裕和以往在電影留給演員們的「得獎場」也沒有了，比如《小偷家族》的安藤櫻、《橫山家之味》夏川結衣，恬淡使人歲月靜好的空鏡頭也都沒有了！慟！
【20220619】和是枝裕和之前的电影蓝本几乎一模一样：无血缘的分子组成的团体，竟然打破了“血浓于水”的古语。略有新意的是把家庭片和公路片杂糅（不过这些地点似乎也不都很必要），记录了一个家庭的诞生与成长。坐高铁过隧道的镜头算是小亮点：内心深处的想法只有在过隧道无光时才敢脱口。李知恩最值得拿奖的地方，或许是闭灯后，对大家说：“谢谢你的出生”。孩子生父和黑道的线显得冗余。警察可能真的是异化到“最想成交”的人。
把梨泰院看了数遍的是枝裕和hhh 依然是小偷家族那个味儿
我无论如何都吃认领亲人这一套，但这次实在逻辑立不住，人的行为动因也完全不符常理。故事显得儿戏且刻意。
