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.
算是成功的翻拍啦，风景优美、画面华丽、星光熠熠、复古考究,9000万美元的成本至少保证了电影足够养眼。
"The romance of the desert has the power to seduce. I ask you: have you ever loved so much, been so possessed by jealousy, that you might kill?"
是小青年爱看的打打杀杀。从头打到尾，整体风格干净利索，快节奏。
剧情确实有点弱，大侦探的破案方式竟然跟毛利小五郎一样，一个一个诈，二话不说上来就是一句人是你杀的！然后可能是剧情拖太长了，赶紧按照剧本把事情的经过叙述了一遍草草收了场。
尺度可以的。
回想起网友要求众筹不让这导演继续翻拍阿婆的先见之明。盖尔加朵真的是辣

埃及艳后服饰与台词，象征了她的悲剧命运。椅子背面对话暗示布克知道秘密。门镜重叠斗殴加剧了混乱效果。特效非常尴尬。推理部分过于薄弱。
大型莎士比亚舞台剧+旅游宣传片 开头那场戏几度让我怀疑买错了电影票 悬疑感几乎没有 贵族之间的表面和谐下的暗流涌动仅仅通过“尼罗河”表现其实有点低级 （盖尔加朵的形象总让我觉得神奇女侠要起来战斗了 but..
动作设计够精彩，拳拳到肉。就是反派三兄弟都是路人脸，没气场没魅力。
李红旗其实是个诗人，还是个导演。
其实还是挺好的改编，但是zzzq让人可以轻易排除一堆嫌疑人… 百丽宫国贸
肯尼爵自恋到这种程度也是挺出乎意料的，给自己加的那些前史和眼泪都不好看。
艾米锤真的亲身演绎什么叫“对于丑人细看也是一种残忍”，他那张脸每次放特写我都忍不住伸手盖眼睛。 一开始氛围感营造的不错通篇围绕一个爱字但前面的节奏有点太拖了。simon和Jacquelin的感情刻画的有点糊里糊涂让人难以辨认到底男方对女方有没有爱情。
1.伴着舞蹈无处不在的布鲁斯音乐还行。

电影前半段的体验感觉是在看电视剧，拍了一大堆用来水时长的素材，真正有用的信息倒是没多少，后半段推理部分倒是挺紧凑的，不过没啥悬念，挺无聊的。
华丽&暗流涌动 第一次看这个故事着实被紧张到了！
原版剧情忘得一干二净，所以认真看了推理部分和特效版尼罗河风光。无论如何IMAX包场还是挺开心的…
开头和结尾毫无必要，觉得好看是因为剧情底子好。
