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.
因而只能算作城市与人群，时局与状态的临摹，在展现范围和阶级上有所局限，离“艺术品”也有距离。
难得国产电影也可以像日本一样拍比较家常、靠近生活的题材，超出预期了
到精品店买临期酒，把小资咖啡喝成大碗茶，在浦东美术馆办撒娇派诗人画展，看一个上海艺术中心的先锋戏剧美美助眠，费里尼的电影也成了蝴蝶酥和护手霜的点缀。
不再纯洁，却是风味人间。
小女孩不爱带嘤，义呆梨家族企业在义务，老乌是为国争光彩旗飘飘，乳化什么乳化啊。。。
满篇写着都是矫揉造作！
一个中年离异男，一会想搞画展，一会想睡中年离异女，一会给中年离异女带娃，一会想跟中年女大款胡搞，一会想掺和儿子的恋爱，一会被修鞋匠忽悠，一会被老妈不停的骂十三点，一会跟好朋友翻脸，最后好朋友死了，画展也办成了的故事。没有主线，人物混乱，没用的纸片人众多，内容全靠水词堆砌，拍摄去导演化，基本是个电视剧拍法，从头到尾也不知道到底要说什么，结尾还突然跳线到了男二号身上，男二号成了核心焦点，还拿索菲亚罗兰开了个李春平的玩笑，也不知道跟男一号有什么关系，十分莫名其妙。如果不是这些好演员，大概这个混乱叙事，这个电视剧拍法，结果可能不会像现在这么好。
很上海味，很有格调，很传奇，也很成熟，这才是华语电影里比较有意思有情趣的男男女女电影。
完全是一部海派的伍迪艾伦小品，本影迷看得如痴如醉，对费里尼的致敬与调侃也于我心有戚戚焉。以及成年人之间哪里有所谓爱情，无非是在生活的烟火里点到为止，推拉进退，最后又自然而然。
黄浦江边的伍迪·艾伦，《繁花2021特别版》，很嗲，很灵，很喜欢。
和你们不一样，我是去看宁理的，而且因为讨厌爱情题材所以期待很低，看完居然老满意额。上海话亲切，音乐不觉得出戏，大话不觉得刻意，刻板印象不觉得尴尬，看前在首页刷到的所有“问题”都不觉得是问题（甚至很多事我或我身边的人都亲身遇到过，比如虽然不是上海人，前段时间去上海电影节赶场停自行车时被拦住，我知道老乌当时那种不快。
分寸感太好了。故事有一点刻薄和揶揄，但也有爱意。人物有一点平凡和俗气，但也有一点浪漫。
这个电影啊，就算剧情超级超级烂，整体素质也不会差到哪里去。因为它有那个“味”，市井的味，平民的味，而实际上里面的人物都属于中产阶级，上好大学、留过洋、有房有钱，可看起来还是普普通通的人，而不是摆起面孔充当霸道总裁和高冷公主，除了口角上的暗暗小交锋，再无波诡云谲，看起来舒服，听起来舒服，即使死亡也没有产生不适。
连修鞋匠都端着咖啡杯的上海，
猜猜在座的各位谁才是真正的文艺中年？想必巴黎人也自愧弗如。假如郭敬明真如其所愿地是个上海人会操一口流利的上海话，他会不会也像剥削费里尼一样剥削王家卫呢？（啊，原来人家早就开始剥削莎士比雅了啦！
我还是挺喜欢的。有一段老乌自行车乱停的时候有个协警来赶人，老乌一边去停车一边骂骂咧咧，看口型是重新配音了。他实际上讲的是：册那，现在上海人要听苏北人的话了……我在电影院看了笑死，为了这快乐两小时我也要给四星的。 不过也能理解批评这部电影的人，主要还是人物和故事有点轻飘飘，没把内核讲清楚，反而是作为元素的上海文化反客为主成为最大亮点，这些元素服务于内核吗？其实是有点割裂的。而且那肯定是不经讨论的，美化到失真了，所以必然成为争议核心。我朋友说这个片子把上海元素去掉就不行了，深以为然。
这是今年看到的最妙的华语电影。可以说，它是一个骨子里是欧洲电影的上海电影，也可以反过来说，它是一个骨子里是上海电影的欧洲电影。既有老派上海电影的精神，也有侯麦和伍迪艾伦电影的气韵。它妙在，就靠画家白老师为核心的几个人，一条街，一双鞋，一个画展，一部电影，几顿饭，一个亦真亦幻的爱情神话，螺蛳壳里做道场，却构成一个有时间感有空间感有回味的故事。也妙在，它没有传统的启转承合，而像是在生活里切了一段，结构却已经在里面悄悄藏好，故事启动力都很微小，却密不透风，腾挪跌宕，每一秒钟都敦实，像一个没有话剧痕迹的话剧。还妙在，所有演员都精彩，没有一瞬间的戏接不上，也没有一刹的情绪塌掉。最意想不到的是，那个关于索菲亚罗兰的梗，轻描淡写的铺陈，看似漫不经心，最后却成了整个故事最悠长的一部分。
野猫知道哪家的剩菜香，吃完就走；
感觉不大，可能地理距离近了，反而会扩大心理上的距离吧。2021年的国产片都能听到M83了！
在《爱情神话》当中，我终于看到了期待已久的成熟爱情。近些年来，国内大银幕上的爱情片大多刻画的是青春故事，少有对成熟男女爱情的呈现。地域上，更多的影片则选择北方作为背景，但这部片子用吴侬软语的上海打底，弄堂巷尾，也确实展现出令人惊叹的生活质感。除此之外，影片中对于男女角色的新定位以及男女关系的再思考，也是格外有趣的。当男性角色和女性角色都脱离传统的刻板印象，他们之间又会碰撞出怎样的火花？大家可以走进电影院，坐到《爱情神话》的观众席，一探究竟，这的确是今年年末的一出好戏。
