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.
这不是一个therapy嘛，当然主要还是对于Nancy来说，我喜欢两个演员，喜欢长篇的对白，喜欢对内心世界的挖掘，喜欢郑重其事地把性讨论开来，也喜欢冲突的设置和结尾的对视。命题并不复杂，剧情设置也不难猜，但是真诚而可爱，我50几岁的时候还能不能直视自己镜中的身体、面对自己内心的欲望呢？男主角不得不说，挑得太好了（我猜我愿意为此倾家荡产？）如果说他拿出和我同款音箱的时候我还只是笑笑，但他开始按摩肩颈的时候，我已经想给他打一个巨大的笑脸feedback了。另外，oh poor Becky!
C / 剧感很重，喜欢fantasy的构建和实用的床上对话语录，喜欢男演员，不喜欢后半段打探现实生活开始的交叉，强行打破幻想的双向救赎就像如果「罗尼和我」的后半段突然让直男表现出现实的软肋一样，瞬间没劲。
不是说花钱找鸭就能找出道貌岸然的优越感、找出独立女性人设、找出自我和解的。这片子被追捧我是真的不理解，只是题材反常规而已，实际上跟女性解放一点关系都没有。请看它的镜像电影《花容月貌》，一个超级大美女主动做应召女郎，没有任何客观原因，完全发自内心。很讽刺，是不是？而且它作为房间电影来讲，也是不及格的存在，对白写得太虚无，处处泛着圣母光环，被《与女人们的对话》吊打。
再次，力比多是生命之源啊，性满足后，人从想而不能的愁眉苦脸变得释放舒展。从小被主流社会价值观（宗教课，天主教教义，被社会和宗教内化的产物家庭观念）所压抑限制的是人性本源的动力，伊甸园本来就playground of delight。
这就是花钱做counselling吧。女性永远在自我审视。为什么要调查人家的名字？冲突设置稍感不适。
女主说她丈夫死后她再也不会去假装高潮，而观众似乎也不必因为终镜看到了高潮而非得表态满意过程。“双人斗室由性开论”是一种亚类俗套。相对最近的罗马房间、马德里1987，稍远的那部著名的都市仲夏夜……应该说把玩此类素材，英人自有其独到的叙事武器：冷幽默。各种荤腥术语脱口而出然后在对其进行诙谐自讽。可这种特色能量半个小时之后也就像女主的婚姻生活那样陷入乏味，更别说撑满90多分钟？实在太难！这时又不敢像法国人那样用全然放开随性自然的大尺度去助燃（说助燃其实不够准确，“坦诚相待毫无顾忌”应该是此类题材的头号标配！若非如此便不足以弥补不换场景俩人话唠还不是喜剧所必然产生的单调乏味。大家想想是不是这个道理？），甚至为了避免“说到做到”还要反复依靠女儿的电话来给自己“救场”？
影片三星半 艾玛老师五星 接受淫欲 接受快乐 接受自己 能不能请科林费尔斯拍个男版
单一地点+老戏骨的组合很难不让人想到《困在时间里的父亲》，后者在影片技法上还是要更有层次一些，而这部电影的强势就在于每个段落高潮前的那一点铺垫，都恰到好处。
理解，但基于个人立场不喜欢，提供高质量情欲体验的圣人和言行举止非常维多利亚时期的白人女性，这样的梦幻组合就像少女浪漫爱情文学那样不现实，甚至会作为坏榜样，但有其治愈性。again，基于个人立场的偏见。
四段见面，破碎的灵魂碰撞后慢慢修补，治愈后相忘于江湖，很美好~人人都想身边有个里奥吧！！！
55岁寡妇退休教师X20岁性工作者，两人的关系以及对爱和亲密关系的讨论，真的挺有意思的，情节太有魅力了，说了很多关于婚姻、亲子各方面的探讨，结局也很喜欢。
太好了
从becky开始 我就狂笑 一直到im glad you“came” 最后居然哭了 看着emma Thompson抚摸自己的身体 欣慰的一笑。
四颗星都给艾玛和导演以及剧本对话（部分）。艾玛这个年纪胸（躺着得时候胸好看）和身体包养得也相当不错。以及最后镜前全裸的她。多少异性恋都是她这种体验呢（作为妻子，母亲和女人），或者甚至还不如她，至少她能叫到优质鸭玩一玩，有些地区的异性恋连这种身材优质的鸭都叫不到。一个细节，男的发火咂宾馆墙的时候内线电话打进来询问她有没有危险，虽然英国有很多不让人如意的news，但这点已经算是可以窥见月圆的一角了（虽然到处都没有满月）。看，男的即便当鸭也是处于掌控地位以及比妓女们挣得多多了（一些付不起学费的女性确实是去当了应召女郎同时伴有极大风险）。过于强调男女身体的愉悦这点不喜欢这个部分。艾玛真是宝藏演员。女学生听她说完告白那个表情哈哈哈哈哈
C / 剧感很重，喜欢fantasy的构建和实用的床上对话语录，喜欢男演员，不喜欢后半段打探现实生活开始的交叉，强行打破幻想的双向救赎就像如果「罗尼和我」的后半段突然让直男表现出现实的软肋一样，瞬间没劲。
Emma Thompson 演技精湛，真的太优秀了！
题材，细节，男主的脸和身材，女主的演技，小空间内的张力。
打着情色的标签，结果居然是一部温情的话痨片。所以究竟是身体上情欲的吸引更让人着迷，还是彼此挨着的耳边絮语和倾听更迷人？又或者是两者都密不可分？最棒的是最后Nancy和Leo都获得了解放。
太佩服Emma Thompson了，各种意义上的佩服。
被性吸引、被身体吸引、享受性的喜悦，享受荷尔蒙带来相互的快乐，多美的事呢
