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.
不可描述的不适，有些电影你看过了，真希望自己从没看过。
嗯没看懂。电影里男人的意识和言语好恐怖，女性的社会处境，包括不限于窥视，裸露，秽语，家庭暴力…取景很美，自然和生育，非常多的奇怪意象。
我的理解是，不管他们是什么职业什么性格，都是同根生，本质上是一样的
这部电影的出现后，复古影像正式作为一种惯用风格成为回顾我们这个年代的标签；我对它依然拥有这样陈旧的观点：与其拍电影，不如去写一篇檄文……我心中的电影无需解读便能带来直接的触动，而不是费劲思考每一个设计的用意……导演技术的发展不是制造谜题，而是解开谜题……
单从技术层面分析，A24与亚历克斯·加兰这次完全可以凭借《Men》在2022恐怖电影界「独领风骚」了。极致的视听语言与几乎完美的恐怖氛围营造，称其为「盛宴」亦不足为过。前半程用「文艺片」手法铺垫，带有强烈「创伤感」的人物塑造及镜头感、配乐都非常高级。最后的爆发亦「精彩纷呈」，恐惧催生出恐惧，暴力孕育出暴力，十分钟的视觉呈现几乎可以封神。从内容上看，电影带有强烈的「恐男」特质，但相比较其他低级、刻意、无趣的刻画与塑造，《Men》赢在了视听语言上。至于其传递的主题与私货本质，和其他同类作品并无两样，说粗俗点，都一个B味。三星全给技术组，内容一星不值。
是创伤而非恐怖 通过女生的一系列对抗重构了丈夫的死亡 不同的男性形象分别代表着控制 辱骂 暴力 伪善 而在一层层罪恶中最终分娩出已经死去的丈夫
故事简单了点，不过起码比别的恐怖惊悚片好看有特色，白天惊悚的场面很多，挺好。
丈夫房东裸男儿童牧师警察 连环孕育分娩时刻：跳楼被扎穿的胳膊和摔断的腿，都是死去的丈夫 拿起斧子
公序良俗“邪典片”，又手握真理知识、又知晓现状问题，又有成套的隐喻体系，只拍电影是不是太屈才了？
心理惊悚恐男cult片，整体氛围营造得很不错，对男权社会下的一次隐喻，男人的恐怖复杂且多样萦绕在女主身边，而且他们永远不停孕育重生，结尾和有些部分看得有点生理不适。
balance
拍得很细腻，导致代入感很强，的确是看完会有阴影的片，竟然是男性导演？了不起。视听相当赞
最近两年最好的恐怖片 远好于同一题材的《隐形人》
男人看了惭愧自省，女人看了惊恐悲凉，已经高于一般恐怖片而到了用表现主义展现男性社会对女性无形压迫的范畴
恐男症，而且电影也完全不恐怖，除了摄影做得不错，其他方面都是一无是处。
喜欢这个故事…………… 透露着一股绝望又残忍的诗意
看到拉斯冯提尔《反基督者》的影子。后半段垮了点，3.5
氛围有了，情节有了，观众要的spectacle也有了。可以说是cult片中的邪典，男人套娃生娃确实震撼，但归根结底，恐惧还是源于人的内心。7.5/10
和《湮灭》一样，充满让人san值狂掉的克苏鲁场面。大爱加兰导演的风格。
加兰最差的电影，我知道肯定有人对这类片子要高潮，我就是要打低分。
