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.

包袱抖的不错。 主演真的会用枪，不是那种“训练过的”。
幻灭了…perla的字幕机太暗了太暗了我要瞎了ಥ_ಥ
-一本书很感人？那就说它故作感伤；
3.5星 看完才知道是原著改编 那看来电影吸引到我的点可能就都是原著本身带来的东西了 或者说电影最成功的点在于让我对原著故事产生了兴趣 这种特定时代背景下的从无到有到无的故事总是不断重演 但各自也总是有着各自的魅力
泛滥的旁白损害了整部片子的气质，导演明显缺乏用影像叙事的能力。巴尔扎克的原著应该更厉害，把整个泡沫社会以及其中异化的人尽数尸解。
扎实的名著电影，布景服化道一看就很贵很还原，巴尔扎克的小说毕竟戏剧性极高，看起来毫不无聊；是文学梦的幻灭，爱情的幻灭，也是妄图实现阶级跃层的幻灭，时至今日，类似的故事仍然不断上演，至少男主功成名就过，大多人被淹没在大城市的纸醉金迷里，水花都不曾溅起；内森居然是多兰演的！看演员表才发现，卷发单薄帅哥都免不了发腮嘛难道，多兰你之前可是比本片男主帅的多啊。
虽然但是短评里某位，《交际花盛大衰记》是什么鬼，《交际花盛衰记》、《交际花荣枯记》甚至直译《交际花的辉煌与苦难》也行，巴尔扎克看了盛大衰记这个新名字不晓得会不会痛哭流涕。《幻灭》本来就不是个人成长型故事，巴写《幻灭》虽然有短评里所说的意图，但本意也是鞭策自己，巴明明用更多得多的篇幅去揭露新闻界、文艺界的腐化怪相，说第二部是巴黎社会生活横断面也不为过，考虑到时长问题，导演以此为侧重点无可厚非，但删掉小团体我持保留意见。ps:裸戏确实辣眼睛，我不懂有什么存在的意义。（我坚持认为《幻灭》的体量不该拍电影，66版的迷你剧就很不错
抛开虚荣，回归本心，方能成就自我
原作有两个主角，电影砍掉了其中一个，只聚焦另一个，或许是出于篇幅的考虑，但也让思想性削弱了很多。作为名著改编，在影像上几乎没有什么令人惊艳的段落，而且大段的旁白让影片看上去又很像超长版的故事梗概。最大的价值大概是还算可以吸引观众去阅读原著吧。
看吧，有金钱和文字的地方，就有虚荣、谎言、嫉妒、争斗…… 两百年前与两百年后并无差别。 Lucien 身上有巴尔扎克早年巴黎经历的影子，而Nathan则是他幻想中的自己。仔细想想演员选得挺合适的，Benjamin Voisin虽然不是正统帅哥，但脸上有那种天真与狂热交织的感觉。
幻光破灭谓之幻灭。
这样说有些无脑：但Tim Blake Nelson的名字出现，就知道不会有什么大问题；当作是演技个人秀看也不会感到吃亏。故事上的“土、村、直”可能拾起了那种西部片总是充满着意味、又强调着家庭精神的核心气息；几次追缉，也有滋味。尽管距离《赴汤蹈火》或者Taylor Sheridan在做的东西，尚有段可观的距离；但依然借由Tim，带出了属于自己的特质。
-结构好？那就是它老套！
Mk2 Odéon côté Saint Michel
興衰史的敘事感很流暢 文字的書寫以及編輯室猴子鴨子的混亂感很中我的命門了 一方面也是我欽羨的世界 瘋狂恣意隨性 掌握筆桿的人有話語權(想當一次惡勢力XD)but希望大家真的 一個半小時能講完的話不要拖拖拉拉講不完帶壞節奏
全片几乎完全都是以提琴协奏曲或者交响曲为主的配乐，没有任何“现代感”，虽然这会在某种程度上拉高片子的观影门槛，但无疑，这是很优秀的表现方式。
节奏被古典配乐带得克制而柔缓，唱一剧曾经时代里小人物努力向上爬，最终被卷入湖底的悲歌。全片画面很美，不喜欢的是喋喋不休的画外音，听似辅助理解，实则总嫌抢戏跳戏。
“不要问我心里有没有你，我余光中都是你。”
他从小就知道这座湖，当他进入冰冷的水中时，他不知道自己是想要洗干净还是想要去死。他在那里停留了一会，他将停止幻想，开始生活。
