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.
然后又轻描淡写地把一切残酷都粉饰得美好
可惜的是，在日本电影爱好者眼里，这部电影是一部韩国片。这是理所当然的啊！因为《掮客》的确是韩国电影。
值得一提的是，这是一部看不出痕迹的是枝裕和韩国电影。是枝裕和这次最大的突破应该是剧作上的主线带副线吧，并且尝试在每条故事线附加不同的类型风格，IU宋康昊这条明显是他最擅长的家庭剧略带喜剧，冲突和人物设置都是熟悉的配方，表演上也基本没啥亮点，整个戏都显得特别意料之中意在言中，过于平平无奇了，“突破”失败。另外，IU和mayu的某些侧脸瞬间实在是太像了…
很動人，但不怎麼像是枝裕和？肉湯裡加泡菜就變泡菜湯，倫理片裡加太漂亮的演員，味道也會改變？
再有，就算女主如警察所说，主动自首刑期短还能减刑，但依旧无法改变杀人入狱过的事实。作为一个单亲妈妈，未来的生活是很不乐观的。
为是枝裕和一如既往的温情多加一颗星。现实生活中这等故事情节怕是不会出现的，人贩子就是人贩子，绝对不会和货物产生羁绊。女主有点松冈茉优的感觉，姜东元是正常发挥，宋康昊和裴斗娜就是稳定输出。多给社会一些善意，那我们就会被回报有小确幸么？
感觉还是得给韩国导演拍吧。剧情线有点跳啊。远不如小偷家族了。虽然很像的风格。。。。。
是枝裕和一贯的风格，再次聚焦底层小人物的善良与无奈，从一个弃婴，娓娓道来。音乐和画面一流，但故事太多，到处都是联系，无法面面俱到，就会让观众觉得抓不住重点。第一幕我差点觉得是《寄生虫》续集。宋康昊早就值得一座戛纳影帝！
可能换日本卡司会更喜欢吧 故事还是很是枝裕和的 不过很讨厌通过女主嘴里传达的“堕胎不比生下来再扔掉的罪轻”的信息 既然不想要就不要生 非要生下来再扔掉就是更不应该被接受
便觉察到是枝裕和近年的越来越失“真”。
#22#50不知道是不在日本水土不服还是剧本本身的原因，就像寄生虫一样的刻意，让人游离其外难以动情。摩天轮上的哭戏是为数不多的亮点，但对比小偷家族里安藤樱那可以影史留名的一分钟哭戏，差距可见一斑
还是太乏味了。像是枝裕和自己“效仿临摹自己曾经佳作的仿作”，或者说像韩国的是枝裕和粉丝的学生作品，温情小伎俩失去以往的力道，剧情人物安排也有挥之不去的设计感（又是一组不完美的边缘人物抱团取暖，又是要背负了黑暗的过去但内心又无比善良）。平庸、平淡、套路，其实问题都没那么大。本作最大的弊病还是在于对苦难的粉饰、对严肃社会问题的浪漫化重构。只能说那些糖霜一样的小确幸小温暖带来了巨大的欺骗性，剧作里弃婴、贩婴的“正义性”还要建立在IU那句反堕胎立场的台词之上，如一些评论所言，实在是虚假的自我感动。最后再来个温情的收尾，都不知道还有什么现实映照可言。宋康昊戏份如此之少，发挥得如此之平庸，竟然能水到戛纳影帝，只能说IU拿影后都比这合理。
宋康昊和姜栋元表演不错，人设完整。裴斗娜表演不错，人设有缺失。李知恩人设不错，但表演怎么都感觉在戏外不走心。李珠英可爱，但人设不完整显得不搭调。影片烂尾，结尾的温情让人虚空。这个故事最后应该是悲剧，才更符合主题表达。结尾让宋康昊哪怕死于意外都会加分，为救抓捕他的李珠英而死，这样李珠英也不致于是工具人了。影片后面三分之二以1.25倍速飘过，更爱《小偷家族》。6.8/1.94万 短评8719条 %38/49/13 【IMDb7.3/1500 全球票房1354.29万美元】
然后又轻描淡写地把一切残酷都粉饰得美好
他說「現在也不晚」的時間，他在明暗模糊的陰影裡面，轟隆聲很大。好像真心話只有在那種條件下才可以講出口，也只能講一次。
喜欢不起来，角色和角色之间都没啥火花，有看到说IU被台词膈应到而去找导演讨论的新闻，我想大概就是和裴斗娜争辩那场，说实在的那个台词也有膈应到我，还有最后酒店关灯那场戏是要干嘛……饼叔绝对值得拿戛纳影帝，但绝对不是凭这个片拿。
即使有宋康昊和姜栋元，我与是枝裕和的细（suo）节（sui）依然无缘
每个人的戏剧呈现与弧光是那样的曲滑至臻，
在犯罪、道德、家庭種種複雜環境裡尋找出了一條共贏的道路，很理想化
與孩子尤其是拐賣孩童相關的社會話題在某地分分鐘是爆點，從孩子被拋棄的一剎那，所謂的親情也就開始降溫，善意更無從說起。不過導演還是對社會太樂觀了點吧，當每個人都還懂得說“謝謝XX生在這個世界”的時候，說明人類還有救。
