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.
这其实是不是两个男人的战争，而是一个女人对抗整个世界，为了尊严，为了自我。
3.5星，同样的事件一遍一遍不同的细节加深对一件事情的理解。其实有点太过形式化，但还是会为女子感到骄傲！说出来，勇敢得活下去！
以罗生门的视角来讲中世纪战争中一场关于女性财产而生死决斗的故事，阵容强大，决斗精彩，但总觉得有些杀鸡焉用牛刀
罗生门视角揭露人物的心灵运作：从莽夫的视角看到委屈，从弄臣的视角看到征服，从女性的视角看到禁锢和失声。近乎同机位来比较记忆的偏差，男性自我美化的过程暴露无遗，保守示好曲解为媚眼如丝，狼狈丢鞋曲解为欲拒还迎，而男性的一切行为都恪守了荣誉。为什么拼死上诉这一段，回应了metoo质疑者的问题。听耐观影说历史上女性发起上诉没有记载，但我不反对一切历史都是当代史。
厉害的是人物视角变化后的一些细节，就连强奸戏，男性视角相比女性都会简化或者说“美化”很多。只有女性视角才表现出眼泪鼻涕，歇斯底里。一度想给五星，后半小时还是有点过于白给了，把现代女权觉醒的意识套到那个时代。
原来是本马达的本子，写得很聪明，雷导讲故事的方式还是这么immersive。最后那场决斗好精华，我跟现场看一样揪心，时刻害怕玛格丽特的命运，幸而结局真的god bless。不同perspective的细节改动我好喜欢喔！像是de Carrouges从苏格兰回家，他自己描述的英勇无敌只套着破烂盔甲大战归来，Marguerite的版本没主要变动但加了个披风，瞬间把这个所谓“男性valor”化身的虚伪给戳破。虽然可以简单粗暴概括三版证词细微对比之处为性别之差，但雷导本人定调Marguerite为“the truth”还是很被戳中，谢谢。
女性力量前所未有的崛起，感谢生在这个时代。
emmm，如果为了女权而打高分的话，就不值当了，电影本身略显笨拙
一场战斗，各自表述，人都是这样的，放大某些，回避某些，哪怕不去编造，很多事情的细节说和不说，感观就完全不同了。强暴不会怀孕可还行，怀孕还要最后生命的大和谐才能成功...天主教的想法也很有意思...不过那会也没法鉴定，这事情到真的假的给个决斗的机会也不错吧...一群中世纪的法国贵族拉丁语都能来两句，日常大家说英语还是有点....（（
只按女权理解是不是也格局小了。整体真不错，最后的1v1嗓子吊心口。
Jean的本质除了鲁莽就是虚荣 他表面上呈现出来的爱老婆人设 都是为了满足他在众人面前的尊严 从争地到护妻 统统都是满足他个人的虚荣和维持人设罢了 妻子只是他可以操纵的从属品而已 可同时他也是既得利益者中被众人唾弃和嘲笑的人 他的确是个具有“正义感”的人 可黑暗社会本身的信条终归是与正道背道而驰的 而最后的决斗和豁出去也绝对不是为了给妻子复仇 单纯只是为了挽回自己的名誉 而愤怒也大多出于对谄媚强权名贵的憎恶 可难能可贵的是 第三章的女性受害者视角 包括她与婆婆以及其他女性之间的对话等 都显示出她才是深陷泥沼却无法忍受着强权压迫和束缚的真正“绝醒之人” 冲破父权的邪恶以生命的代价来换取真正的正直 如果历史足够戏剧 希望俩男主在决斗中双双战死 成也父权 败也父权嘛 哈哈哈哈我看挺好
没想到现在还有大投资做这样的中世纪故事，好久没有看到这样的题材了，很喜欢。第一个故事讲到一半才想到，应该还有另一个男主的故事，第二个故事看到一大半，突然觉得女主的视角还会有，很喜欢这样捉迷藏的感觉。其实前两个故事下来，虽然不错，但总感觉和几十年前的叙事没什么区别，有点缺乏新意。最后一个故事才是让整个剧亮起来的原因。我们习以为常的英雄视角故事，在女性的角度来看竟是如此的反常。以至于最后竟然会觉得不过是两个半斤八两的货色在较量，还以为自己多么英雄豪气。而为此冒着名誉和生命的代价的女主没人关心她。不过女主在片尾好歹看到了一切，字幕顺利的送给了她荣华富贵，子孙满堂，再不用伺候男人的幸福下半生。虽然本片的格斗场面，并不是大头，但是场场让人热血沸汤，导演实力还在啊。

这竟然是部女权电影！这当然是部女权电影！缺位也是一种表达，忽视也是一种控诉。
就算末了，你感到幸运吗？是的。可你感到欢愉吗？绝不。
喜欢里面有一句台词：微笑和好话比威胁好用多了，哪怕你不是真心的
"I am telling the truth."
追忆篇在我心中是神一般的地位 其实剑心真人化系列还算可以 尤其是初登场 但是追忆篇水准明显不够 平淡乏味 ost也不行 还故作深沉 仿佛在看默片 然后基本就是照抄ova吧 就像是cosplay摄影一样 关键是佐藤健在这部剧里的颜值 拉远景的时候有点被丑到了 你不能改编总吃原作粉福利啊 单拉出来也得能让人看懂么不是
完完全全是一部情感向的系列作品，动作场面和时代氛围都在为剑心和巴的爱情做陪衬，整部电影节奏舒缓，情节相对平淡，但是情感浓度和冲击力却是系列最强。
