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.
从火车站那场戏开始崩坏。然后所有情节都太无聊了。并且几乎没有任何奇观，挺失败的。光致敬活着没有用啊。不管是砖头还是佛头，都毫无重量感，演员表演的时候也不掂量掂量。。
太戏剧化和脸谱化，人物反应缺乏真实生活气息。
如果说可以，也是全靠同行衬托，工整之下有一点怪异，就像李现的演技，你说不出哪里不对，仿佛是节奏问题，还是故弄玄虚，反正就是觉得完全不搭调。
好家伙，是反转，360℃反转的，有些角色演的还是有意思的，比如咏梅“武则天”转世找自己的佛头，比如葛大爷全程保持马邦德人设包括最后遗言说不完，整体来讲，节奏不掉，热热闹nao，
后半段尴尬死了。在火车站也是乱糟糟的。尤其到郑村，我觉得所有人都尴尬。电影院还有没有好片子了呀？李现这个演法，我觉得活脱脱就是另一个胡歌。辛芷蕾，雷佳音，葛大爷，杨新鸣，真是亏了这些好演员了。有几个熟面孔是惊喜，张世豪，咏梅等。
24/4/2022 @ 英皇時代。那陣濃烈中二味果然是熟悉的郭子健😂 在人物描寫如此不足時候(葛優死那段太尷尬了)，用一場又一場的推理/動作場面以快打慢也算是聰明的做法。之不過這結局…..其實主角爺爺也真的是漢奸啊😅
有李现和辛芷蕾都忍不了那个满脸横肉的许愿
马伯庸，国风密逃大电影取之不竭的大宝库。大头和亲王赶紧🔒死！如果可以的话让葛大爷也加入，其他人都散了吧，真不是一路的。
剧创同学上学时作文总丢分吧？肯定是。片子节奏不差，演员尚可，服化道厉害，就这后半程和结局真拧巴呀!明显是时间有限加不进戏了，要么就是拍多了再砍。中间还烤什么猪群什么殴呢?还有，流量明星演技历代都是僵尸扮酷吗?要么所有中老年演员都红了。
除了葛优是亮点 其他还不如电视剧版的卡司和剧情
稳于剧本，毁于剪辑，最该加鸡腿的是道具美术组。贵啊！
李现辛芷蕾扑克脸演技，整了一堆大哥大姐过来客串。主线太弱了，不如夏雨版电视剧。话说回来，就是一个手机包膜的事，说这么费劲儿？
老戏骨的演技还是不错的，只是这个剧本身 真的太扯了 🤪
作为寻宝爽片值四颗星的，不过因为众所周知的改编原因只能一星，女性角色比原著稍强加一星
我以为大头那包里有啥宝贝呢，结果也没啥交代
中华小当家+鬼吹灯+笑傲江湖+天龙八部+古惑仔+让子弹飞…
夺宝奇情，怪力乱神，故布疑阵，漏洞连连，像是书页泛黄的地摊文学。不管有没有营养，总归是一碗爽口的猪油炒饭。
意外的还可以，网大质感的院线片，开了倍速能看。古董局中局这个故事吧，小说电视剧我都看了开头看不下去，这回终于看到结局了。
之前读过剧本，完成度之高堪称国产商业片剧本的天花板了，本身有一个非常完整的核，配上亲王原著优秀的脑洞点缀和铺陈非常流畅过瘾。但成片的水准实在是低于及格线，明显能感觉到主创们的心虚，关系混乱角色冗余，鉴宝奇观和夺宝爽感全无，硬生生把这么一个好本子浪费了。
亲王本来就是按类型片来写的，怎么还能改编得这么难看。看到这个黄烟烟，亲王真的不会生气吗。
