劇情簡介
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.
