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.
确实电影节奏一般，重要的是题材。看到最后部分，心潮澎湃。“我可能会输，但不会放弃抗争”，令人动容。
有一种作品，看完之后让人久久不能平静，只是呆呆的愣在那里；一种伟大的力量注入灵魂。从各种方面来讲，观者被作品全面带领，进入一个更高的世界。这是一部伟大的作品，电影无比精彩，我看过的所有电影中最好的那样一种。不止电影，它所包含的内容太多了，没有一处是无用的。阶级；暴力；社会平等；马克思列宁；法律；良心；执法；种族……太多了。
而律师处理事件的全过程毫无波澜，没收希望到失落，无助到转机的情绪切换，太平了。
大概 是因为自己没有 所以 特别羡慕那些 有的人吧
本身是部好电影，但为什么我不爱看印度电影，总是用一些低级的手法，比如出场正面人物的慢动作再加上走路自带BGM的镜头让我十分不感冒。
如果普通人只配像猪狗一样活着，生命只能任凭他人蹂躏，那这确实是一个不值得过活的世界。
爆料自己的黑历史并没什么大不了，就比如现在的我们也不会嘲笑茹毛饮血的先祖。遮遮掩掩才是毛病，恰恰说明自己还沉沦在不自信的泥潭。
人物塑造和台词上都太满了，显得浅白，叙事节奏和角度还不错，一环扣一环，但是突然爆出的BGM还是让人不适应
字幕有点坑所以观影体验不太好。
一部正能量满满的宣扬正义的南印电影，令人震惊的竟然是真实事件改编。带有梦幻色彩的结局给这个不幸的事件一个圆满的答案。感叹印度种姓制度的痼疾之毒的同时，对于印度法院在整个事件中表现得公正不阿，让人不禁唏嘘称赞，虽显得有些魔幻，但希望真实的印度法院系统能真的如此中立公正。
果不其然，高赞评论又开始自我反思了，真凡事要求这么严格早清北复交了吧，还舔着脸手动感恩。
与政府对抗，这是一条多么艰难的路。
小女孩学律师看报纸的镜头真好，所有的努力不都是为了这一个结果吗？
如果法官也没有良知呢？每个国家都有垃圾，中国也不例外
这个拍出来的形势，就像一个印度超人拯救平民一样，这种跟传统的美国意识形态相一致了。
唯一槽点是男主的“霸总”出场，他越过栅栏的一刹那，恍惚感觉下一秒会有个妹子出现
“受害者得不到公正造成的伤害比他们遭受的不公正还要多”
都说这是印度版辩护人，但其实韩国还有一部很优秀的电影叫断箭，律师的老婆仅仅出场几分钟就可以比肩此片女主200分钟的精彩与坚强！五星超赞，好片
唯一的缺点可能就是时间比较长吧，当然这是印度电影物色。看得我老婆都哭了，佩服印度演员
这种电影，它在宣扬最本真的善恶，它未必能打动更多的人，但它必须得有普世的意图在，这一点上这部电影做得足够优秀。而也唯有如此，世界才会让人有在进步的感觉在，哪怕是幻觉也好。
