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.
耄耋之年的东木用他最惯常的西部情调拍摄这只属于他的美式牛仔精神，自信又稳健，褪去以往作品中险象环生的角色命数，看淡万事万物的起起伏伏，收起他个人英雄主义的锋芒，知天命，尽人事，返璞归真地讲述一个不算太有惊险感的故事，老爷子将它拍得既温暖又谦逊，无意去赘述年轻时浪迹天涯的传奇经历，角色间的交流充满其善意的包容，靠的只是他对爱和恨、功与名的经验之谈。雄鸡取名为macho则是对他职业生涯最恰当的概括，戎马一生到了垂暮之年也不得不被现实驯服，男子气概再热血也不是拿来肆意炫耀的资本，透过他无尽沧桑的细眼也能看到的强大个人魅力，老而不钝，老当益壮。
（整体有点难以入戏）人生智慧 沙漠夕阳 小镇柔情 这太像一个谢幕 观影时总在害怕这会不会是东木最后一部电影 希望他健康长寿🥲
老牛仔留了下来
东木老爷子90多岁还亲自导&演，不知道会不会是最后一部。片中许多细节都使人动容，音乐也很赞。要爱护老年人。爱啊…
老牛仔的浪漫故事，姑且原谅导演又把自己写成万人迷好了
东木爷爷这90多的身体看着可比78的拜登还好啊。可是要演一个60多岁的uncle太勉强了，还有艳遇😂老爷子保重啊
影片三星，致敬老东木两星。很有些《完美的世界》和《老爷车》的影子，却更加平淡，但也更加乏善可陈。影片多少体现了耄耋之年的老东木的心境，刻意地回避和淡化了许多冲突。也祝愿东木长命百岁
电影本身很淡很简单。能够看到老爷子还在拍电影就好温暖，
90岁还能谈恋爱，太强了。
剧情平淡了点，音乐和摄影还是相当不错，能看见91岁的东木还在拍片，演戏已然足够了～
m21252：人生没有电影那么多刻意，老是肯定的。没法治疗，惟有陪伴。
我真的好喜欢东木啊，但这部里他一直以来的那种暴躁迟暮英雄反差温柔太直白了就真的只剩普普通通的公路电影。只喜欢前十分钟，但就只为了骂完老板之后那个塑料躺椅上的日落，我也还觉得值得。
墨西哥男孩的演技太太太尴尬了。Eastwood终于显出老人的疲态。说说给自己留下深刻印象的几点：Monumento à la Revolución; 长耳短脚小山羊，以及同样通体雪白的幼马；Sabor a Mí.
#豆瓣电影 陪阿欣过午夜付钱 老戏骨身体健康、开心就好。你想玩啥，我都看👍🏻 哭泣的男人.Cry.Macho.2021.1080p.WEBRip.x264-RARBG
老爷子身体真棒，都2021年，还在做镖师。
90后伊斯特伍德依然有劲儿。我和我最后的倔强。抛开剧情，忘记《完美的世界》，一辆老爷车，一个老头，一个牛仔帽，一个孩子，一只鸡，继续上路，别带任何附属品。帮男孩回家的不是老头子而是那只公鸡。老头子老也老了还要谈恋爱泡墨西哥寡妇，男人致死是少年。
别主演了，就在幕后燃烧吧！说话动作都不太利索了，真的很担心下一幕就接不上气了！
这就是老爷车＋骡子。东木以九十岁高龄任然奋战在电影前线，虽然年纪大了，少了铮铮铁骨的男人气概和愤怒，开始卖弄温情，但骨子里还是典型的牛仔。这部也是如此，缺少波澜，冲突不够，戏剧张力缺乏，和他以往的几部作品比较，这部明显平庸了，但这个年纪情有可原，毕竟东木大叔看一部少一部吧。
一切就是那么回事儿
东木老爷子帅了一辈子，现在已经91岁高龄了，只要还能继续拍电影我就心满意足了，何必苛求年轻时的质量呢
