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.
自己的人生是自己的
其实 就是一部带点恐怖意义的家庭教育片，无非就是象征着教育失败的血和泪水会在小孩心中孵化出另一个孩子，然而母亲的生活实在是，出差就是与另一位性格的男友 啊啊啊啊啊，还带女儿过去？我一度怀疑是母女片场了。唉
a twisted family但很喜欢结局，妈妈的小女孩变成不会累的孩子，真的是东亚family issues照进欧洲。女孩和鸟的bonding moment看出到了年初羊惧的影子，鸟越发变成人形，女孩的家庭压抑情绪到达顶点。
更应该认为是一个复仇故事，“你夺走了我的母亲，我夺走你的女儿”。小女孩的母亲是现代社会典型的表演型人格，社交媒体上呈现的是最完美的一面，跟丈夫和和气气、一对儿女漂漂亮亮，有一座带花园的院子，枝形吊灯、沙发套和地毯交汇出一片温柔的色调，直到一只误闯的乌鸦出现，用利爪彻底撕破了这张平静美好的画布。紧接着，内心的暴戾很快以杀戮的形式施予这名不速之客，你知道，她不会再有好结果。至于家庭关系中的裂痕似乎都在意料之中：跟丈夫的开放式关系、对女儿的苛刻并不亚于最残忍的亚洲母亲式“鸡娃”，儿子则基本被她忽视，毫无存在感。要对这样一个女人复仇，必须要夺走的是她最心爱的女儿以及她的希望，让她不再有退路。而她“如同尸体分泌黏液”一样的本质的生活，将恶心她自己并恶心所有人。至于恐怖片的“借尸还魂”倒不是什么新招了。
芬兰恐怖片是要集百家精华自成一派吗，看到很多经典恐怖片的影子。跟《无辜者》有点相似，都是小孩主演，加上色调、氛围与诡异的情节，同工异曲。虚伪家庭这个主题，说实话不够“重”，要不是海报或有人提点，很难想到这主题。小女孩演得不错了。女母亲演技很可，但颜值我觉得有点....还是给5分
好恶心的鸟，好烂的片，怎么最近很多欧美导演开始玩这种风格了
有点暗黑童话的意思，不过罐头小人也太可爱了，各种奇思妙想是我童年最爱啊！
看着奇奇怪怪的家庭，一家四口，可能只是将矛盾和人性的恶放大了的普通家庭。还挺新鲜的片子！
电影，先说缺点，
3.5星，其实是3星的恐怖片，但我喜欢它的摄影运镜、美术指导以及从一而终的克制。导演有点过于担忧观众看不懂她的表达，把所有的隐喻都拍得很直白，少了能够深挖和回味的part。
作弊、逃生等不少方面太误导小朋友；特效不行，还不如直接拍一个动画片；改编不是乱编；为什么现代国语片总是如此尴尬？
还是太刻板了 不如男生贾里女生贾梅那种可爱 质感也不太行
这片看似惊悚，孵化人形大鸟，其实就是家长的教养理念，隐喻的特别好
没想到可以带着孩子看我小时候最爱看的故事，电影很好看，前面笑后面哭。孩子说妈妈我想哭，我说你哭吧，妈妈也看哭了
母亲角色的设定非常割裂，印出来女儿的孵化也是合情合理了。家庭关系的畸形变化，最后异化生物占据主体，也是看开头知结尾的地方了。。
我哭得好厉害啊，还有魔方大厦和郑渊洁梦幻联动hhhhh 作为一个电影，质感是真的很糙。任性打四星。
影片的氛围营造得还可以，温柔滤镜里的诡异。
那个母亲的选角好优秀，自带一种让人不寒而栗的控制欲
不讨厌，也没有多少喜欢，感动不起来了。
看罐头小人的时候我多大？大概是初一初二吧01年的事情了。一晃二十年了。我已经什么都不记得了。
