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.
剑心的慢生活
当年看着动画已经非常感动，有些桥段还是人演比较更能打动人心
村花還挺好看的，拍得很流水賬。新撰組倒是挺符合我心目中的形象。
对于整个浪客剑心属于传说的开始，如果奔着凌厉的动作去的朋友可能要失望了，这段主要讲情，讲剑心如何成为剑心。有点感叹，再帅的人的抵御不了时光的冲击。
如果没有追忆片ova珠玉在前，还可以说是及格以上优秀未满，现在只能深刻感受到次元壁的存在。和演技无关，真人确实做不来动画里的面无表情不动声色，强行面瘫只会显得人很呆滞。电影也难以还原动画里日常慢悠悠的节奏。巴的选角是堪比葛薇龙一般的败笔，有村扮相上努力向清冷美人靠近了，但她身上的钝感力和马思纯有一拼。雪代巴是油尽灯枯苦苦支撑的最后一点微光，有村生命力还是太强，你看着她的后脑勺都能想象她脸上的温和表情。片里唯一不出戏的角色是桂，连剑心都像郭靖上身，还是李亚鹏版的。最后，是谁给冲田总司整了个凌乱月代头啊！有仇吧！
什么，都这样了还简化了巴的复杂性，那漫画有多复杂？
2021.02.19 黄金周再会。// 2021.12.07 w/达西先生 猫也看得很认真。
算是回忆篇吧。应该是在人诛篇前边的。也没有人诛篇精彩。
【C+】奇怪的是这个系列自从第一部之后就再也无法做到平衡文戏和动作戏的质量了，《人诛篇》动作戏很棒但故事很枯燥无聊，到了这一部故事开始有趣一些了但动作戏根本就没几场，节奏也控制的不好，角色依然很扁平。雨中晕倒的戏是认真的？？？这是2021年啊怎么还会有这种情节……
终于，历经九年，大友启史与佐藤健，用这部追忆篇给剑心系列画上了一个颇为圆满的句号。靠削弱所有其他人物，剧情，乃至动作元素，为剑心与巴这段凄美的爱情让路，从最终效果上来说，是值得的。这样一个女人如何在复仇的过程中爱上仇人的故事，本片描述的足够令人信服，起承转合都非常到位，也让观众清晰了他之后不杀生，守护人民的信念是从何而来。本部不仅是画面格外优美，有相当多构图和镜头语言，是去为人物心境和情绪氛围，提供额外的表达与烘托。有村架纯演绎的巴也确确实实能让原作党满意，除了最后的那种矛盾感还差点意思。但打戏还是要吐槽，佐藤健绝对迅猛凌厉的身手是让打戏平均水准相比上部有所提升。但除他以外一个能打的都没有，又让全片看起来连一场足够惊叹的打戏都没有……不过还是希望后面星霜篇就别拍了……给剑心一个好结局吧😭
剧本不错，摄影、灯光、道具、场景都美到极致，佐藤健演得很好。本片的动作戏真漂亮。
剑心形象不合预期，以及毫无由来地厌恶组长的脸。等不到女主出场就看不下去了，标一下（分这么高，如果能欣赏得了就好了）。
前传比前四部都好看，没有过多复杂的人物，完完全全是剑心的故事，画面真的唯美。
新撰组剑术考究的还原和杀人剑更凌厉的动作设计，这血量才有剑戟片的样子嘛！桂和高杉晋作惊喜现身，附赠和总司的一战不能再心满意足，部分原作突兀的台词和桥段做的修改好评，结尾扣分但诚意收到了。
3. 開國派 - 開國就是停止鎖國，對外國服軟，自認打不過不如談和。
还原了很多漫画中的经典画面；志志雄真实差一组分镜；这个篇章打斗属实太少，最无聊；电影中确实很难表现出来雪代巴身上的香味儿，真人版的雪代巴比漫画版美。
本来戏外还觉得砂糖没什么年龄感，戏里一看才惊呼砂糖是真的老了
#24SIFF#期待了好久高桥一生的打戏，结果没有（
悲剧是把美好的东西毁灭给人看。爱是美好，死亡是毁灭，不折不扣的悲剧。悲剧的主角不是光明中推动时代的掌权者，不是名垂历史的公众人物，而是在阴暗中连名字也不透露的刽子手，是深闺里等待未婚夫的下级武士女儿，在芸芸众生中默默无声。所以他们的悲剧是这个时代下时常有的事，也是接下来时常有的事。
乃至是武士存在性的问题
