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.
那个年代流量还在纸媒 如今已经在你眼前了 从开头就不喜欢吕西安作风和人 确实没好结果 内森第一次和吕西安说好话时我竟然开始圈粉了纸醉金迷 权利物欲本就是虚幻（我随便逛留下橄榄枝 拿着橄榄的人再也找不到给他橄榄的人 尽管他从一开始都没想要那个橄榄 人确实是一不小心就陷进去啊另一槽点这尼玛小兄弟成名的路太顺利了吧哈原来内森是多兰啊卧槽 我说我他妈还挺喜欢他的真是的 我是不是喜欢奶奶的弟弟型啊我的妈 啥 这还是巴尔扎克的小说我寻思我现在莫名其妙就戏剧和欧洲古典了非常奇妙的历程？之前看安娜卡列尼娜的电影改编也是这个感觉好像没多牛逼但就是能用精彩形容 安利下个月我就搞巴尔扎克比预想的要好很多最近看的比较过瘾的一个只不过和法比安一个路数啊 本来以为这是英国的服化道法国的拍法更喜欢这种英国会更老派和闷
四平八稳。看到两女深爱一男就觉得他不配，dbq
-很古典？就说它匠气；
7分。原来是巴尔扎克的原著电影，难怪看着很有质感，但电影本身却没任何精彩之处。看这片不如去读原著，真心这样觉得。
乡村小子怀揣着自大的文学抱负逆袭失败，小丑一样的在贵族圈走了一遭，最后带着失败回到乡下
名著改编保障了剧情。在这种时候看到这样的电影，不得不感慨前人的敏锐与深刻。放下幻想，认真生活。找到自己内在力量。
一些阶级鸿沟是靠努力也无法跨越的。这么多年过去了，媒体和娱乐业还是这副鸟样。内森真的好爱卢西安。
人类需要思考，大清都亡了百年，为啥还是会跪舔！因为大多数人仍然向往那些不劳而获的权利！
他贪婪，自大且张狂，温柔，善良且执着，他极具才华，又趋炎附势。他穿着朴素的白衬衫跑去巴黎，又画着贵族的眼线光着身子回到家乡的湖边。湖面波光潋滟，不过是大梦一场空。
Etienne开始讥笑，听到Lucien说无法羞辱这本书，说“你当然可以讽刺它，这只是一个角度问题。”
改编比较大，对19世纪20年代巴黎各阶层社会氛围的还原是亮点，还算值得一看吧。
当理想变成借口 欲望就会吞噬所有 折射媒体和政治的乱象 人类真的毫无进步
百年前的评论、炒作、诋毁等各种手段从内核与当下无异。
又无聊又长，坐不住了我去隔壁传场看了一半。不要浪费您的两小时生命，除非你是哪种以为看个这个你就了解了journalism或者可以有个good laugh的。
-如果它很有启发，那就说他哗众取宠好了！
扎实的名著改编，是这个时代稍微缺乏的电影样态，因为它意味着工序复杂、一丝不苟的电影创作，全部都需要以超职业化的耐心去迎对时间的绵延。服化道摄显示出大师的水准，至少是在文本留有不多的缝隙里尽力以艺术的追求。我唯一不满的是标题，太直白以至于剧透了一切。令我在观看的过程中，即使是在人物的巅峰时刻由于想象得到必然的结局而怀着惴惴之心。觉得故事不太好看，可能是因为人物是被时代推着走的，人物被必然到来的命运推着走，名著总是承载太多，一下子我们眼见他起高楼，眼见他楼塌下，毫无悬念，又不甘心。
一百年前的故事和今天没有多少差别，富人的虚伪和底层对名利的穷追不舍也是一模一样
最大的收获是让我现场下单《幻灭》特装书。听上去很熟悉的故事模版：一个家世存疑的年轻人离开家乡来到喧嚣华丽的巴黎，凭借着自己的英俊和才智崭露头角过了一段挥金如土的如梦生活———直到一切幻灭，尘归尘土归土，于是他踏上回家的路，stop hoping and begin living。Lucien与他的小报记者朋友们不同的是他身份的双重性，他是发自内心的相信自己拥有高贵的血统和远大的理想，是男爵夫人口中的one of us，但他卑微的父系出生注定了他永远不可能被高傲的上流社会所接受：那是一个贵族们感到自己的权威被新贵们挑战的时代，幻灭的不仅是Lucien对美的追求，也是巴黎贵族们的万代千秋。纸醉金迷的生活和不可一世的优雅已经渐近尾声，他们的成功不过是保王党最后的回光返照：醒不过来的其实是这个时代。
站得高摔得惨
选择本片不是因为豆瓣7分➕，也不是因为获得凯撒奖，更不是因为本杰明瓦赞这位号称法国最佳新人，主要是因为看到评论说本片完全忠于原著，而巴尔扎克一直是本人比较欣赏的作家之一，他刻薄的语言，尖锐的视角，大胆辛辣的讽刺都是我喜欢的类型，看完果然名副其实，对于法国当时保皇派和自由派的争夺也有了更进一步的了解，好片，值得推荐！
