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.
首先众星云集且表演不俗，其次题材是我小时候在知道诺查丹玛斯的预言后经常幻想的末日题材，但在当时表现此题材的影视科幻小说都会对此产生一个十分幼稚且理想化的推测，那就是至少人类在最后时刻会团结一致，摒除文明冲突意识形态政治宗教文化种族差异等问题，放弃各种偏见和一己私欲，心往一块想，劲往一处使，共同解决人类的问题，但实际情况很可能是，真相没人听，阴谋论甚嚣尘上，互联网让人们变得一盘散沙，这个世界各个层面上已经分崩离析，彗星的到来只是提前暴露问题。我们终将面对，一个失序失智失望的未来。而当真的彗星来的那一夜，人类依旧被那些傲慢愚蠢自大的政治家和高度依赖大数据的科技霸权控制着，走向不可救药的毁灭之路，尽管他们总会给自己留后路。
各种低级黑，应该是我21年看的最后一个电影了，魔幻的现实太多。
不是讽刺，也没有黑谁，这就是正在上演的现实。
如果不是网飞，这样的电影基本很难在传统的好莱坞环境下出现。
问，如果现在电视上杨振宁说彗星马上撞地球了，大家还剩一个月，你会害怕吗？——我觉得当时那一刻可能会害怕和沮丧，但就像这电影中的人类，我很快就会被周围人的状态所感染，掉入到某种媒体的狂欢当中。
好莱坞总算在川普卸任后找到了一点回应这个时代的技巧。与其说挖苦右翼的无知是意料之中，那么自嘲左派的无能与自我感动也许就是情理之外了。为什么左派在很多议题上占据了所谓的“正义”却always lose。也许这个世界就应该被毁灭吧。
讽刺意味极强，简直是美丽国的照妖镜，导演也是太敢写敢拍了！
中期选举大过天
一部喜剧却看得人一肚子闷气，鸡同鸭讲从来都是血压升高情绪爆炸的导火索，反讽力度拉满结尾彩蛋更上层楼——而就目前大势但凡资姓国的现实情况恐怕不比电影好到哪里去；这电影拍出来除了恶心自己也误伤了别人，非常具有喜剧内核但就是笑不出来，太难受了。。// PS. A妹开口跪！

为啥这个电影里的人叫别人严肃一点，自己却一点啊不严肃
不是你们观测的时候能不能关灯啊？？？这不是常识吗我真的无语？虽然academia is a perfect place for introverts但我真的不相信全美那么多搞行星科学的居然没有一个能站出来把话说清楚的？这一行里真的不是所有人都是nerds，科普确实难但刻板印象更恶心，点开三次都没看下去，我放弃了
# 3.5 碎裂的大陆和上面的建筑物被抛向太空，华尔街的金牛雕塑也被抛向深空，装着总统和资本家的逃生方舟从旁边飞过，飞向宇宙深处。两万年后，他们到达了一颗植被茂密的绿色星球，在降落时又有几艘逃生舱坠毁，随着逃生舱里的冷冻舱缓缓打开，介绍他们名字和职位的字幕在一个个老头面前出现，从公司老总到银行行长，政府高官。这艘2000人的逃生方舟里面基本都是老头老太太，而且大都是白人，只有很少的年轻人和少数族裔。等他们下了飞船后，腰上纹身的美国女总统很快就被当地的动物咬死吃掉了，然后一群当地的生物围了上来，资本家最后喊了一句 “只要不动，它们就不会伤害我们” 。
这就是好莱坞政治总动员的威力，不是说制作有多好，出演就是一种表态，矛盾的是，电影在讽刺当下美国社会的撕裂，中立的空间变得越来越窄，但是这部电影本身又在进一步制造这种撕裂的事实。这种全明星的阵容和题材也是大洋彼岸另一个国家的拿手好戏，故事天差地别，手段别无二致，时代用影像记录下什么叫环球同此凉热。
新冠疫情之后，人们明显在社群媒体的划分下更加对立，真相是什么变得更不重要了，只有无休止的分裂。而高高在上的，执权者和资本家依然是牢牢掌握这个世界的存在。亚当麦凯这是把当年夺《大空头》眼球的电影主演都集结了吗，小李贡献了大部分笑点，电影的喜剧节奏和故事都挺流畅的，也在让人捧腹的同时完成对现实的讽刺。如果真的有那么一类电影可以规划到后新冠时代的电影，本片在对现实疯狂的吐槽后已经将现实的状况铺陈。
太写实了，这就是我们的现实世界。政治如同弱智儿童的游戏，资本，媒体，公众，样样都无比拉垮。面对新冠肆虐的两年，看看我们的社会干了多少蠢事儿。生活要继续，毁灭了，只能说明不配继续。
硬核好莱坞左派拍出来的两年目睹之怪现状，充斥着真挚的傲慢和愤怒。虽然还是挺好看的，但问题就是战斗性和幽默感本来就不太兼容。
所以美国白宫里的人真的有那么蠢吗？
甜茶好好看 只要鼻子好看+清晰的下颌线 人就不会丑到哪里去
喜剧灾难片，但人性才是灾难的根本，虽然荒诞却无比真实，节奏略慢，需要耐折性子往下看。
