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.
比较乏味，最后一看那架势就是要强行反转，果不其然，呵呵
1.的确很反转，转了两个180度又回到了原点，爷爷送出去的仍然是真佛头，仍然是汉奸，导演真是个人才。
勉强算是一部合格的爆米花电影，尽管每个谜底的揭晓都如此潦草，谜面设置也让人提不起太强的兴趣，但好在节奏快，囫囵吞枣的也能跟着看下去。
啊越看越觉得很多疑问。假包真不也还是真的送出去了么，那个兵荒马乱的年代能相信日本鬼子送回来？
那个郑家村和他爸到底是什么关系？
2.爷爷是预言帝吗？他早就猜到50年后日本人会归还佛头？如果日本人不还呢？后面怎么拍？许愿直接跑到日本抢回来？
国内能上影的话会取什么名？我建议用“6+1=？”希望也能如此直面同样的问题！
开头受害者的镜头和结尾的加害者父亲的镜头重合
费这么大劲拍这个逻辑问题这么严重的电影是为了什么，中国就没有好剧本了么。
节奏很快，反转精彩，如果没有看过小说和剧，应该猜不到走向。编剧下了功夫，把长篇幅小说合理化成为2个小时的电影，有取舍，有侧重，有创新，主线明确，人物饱满。没有强行配对深挖感情戏，寻宝探案解密爱好者在这一点上狠狠赞了。比剧好看。
中规中矩商业片，越演越无聊，李现成功做到凭己之力一张嘴就让我立刻出戏，anyway开场雷佳音的旁白真的舒适
烂的要命，换五年前可能还会觉得不错，现在看来剪辑跟嗑药了一样，摄影也不知道是不是喝多了，线索推理不仅毫无新意还漏洞百出，您解完摩斯电码就不能弄乱或者撤掉？是生怕竞争对手发现不了是吧？真是被刷的好评坑了。
。
想学《母亲》？
中间都看得很生气，但是眼看进度条进到快尾声一切都已经无力转圜，就变成深深地无奈，害。人性永远复杂
合格商业片，葛大爷正常发挥，雷佳音戏路固定在脏兮兮的不得志的“高人”路子上了，马亲王原著改编得非常好～
「啊呀！这片子呵！您瞧！多么……阿唷！哈哈！Hehe！He，」
跟李现对戏的雷佳音宛如影帝，面部表情生动得令人感动。
以前未做父母之前我可能看不下这种看似很离谱的震碎三观的电影我。但是当自己有了孩子，我会反思自己，如果是我的孩子犯了严重的错误，我是不是也会一样包庇
工于设局 但不善解谜 重大剧情推进要靠台词我也是醉了 还不如让许愿一路历险 有女郎 有前辈 有宿敌 做个中原·琼斯来的痛快……
