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.
导演气氛做的好，一步一步的陷进去，从无伤大雅到参与其中，观众一直在跟着走。
“为什么相信上帝就没问题，相信鬼魂却不成体统？”
双方无论善恶都犯了个致命错误，那就是以上帝视角观察后的代入和干涉。无论神话故事里的神仙，还是动物世界里的摄影者，大家公认的一个规则就是只观看不干涉，干涉的结果就是破坏了原本的规律，以至于对双方都带来直接或间接的伤害。所以说作为普通人来讲偷窥最大的伤害通常不是被窥者，是偷窥者，没有强大的意志和理性很难不深陷其中，这也是职业偷窥者例如特务机构所必须训练的。所以说请慎重。
结尾没有那个复仇的反转，可以再加一星，会更值得反思。导演选角没问题，西德尼和刘承羽都有说服力。
反转在意料之外，结局略强行生硬停在反转之后可能会好一些，支持Sydney妹妹和刘承羽发展一些百合情节🥺
那自以为是的正义感只要稍加包装，便能说服自己行不当之事。故事很老派，结局很崩坏。
我算知道Melanie为什么会接拍同年那部小成本科幻片了。声画精良，其他都一般
还行吧，感觉借鉴了后窗的灵感，又有点完美陌生人的既视感，混杂了各种电影的影子，虽然反转有点刻意，女主不太经看，女二到时挺有气质的
片尾的大反转有点不太喜欢，有点潦草有点牵强甚至感觉是编剧编不下去了作出的结尾。
大概是本年度给出的第一个五星。这部电影绝不是神作，只是非常对我胃口，我认为这种风格的惊悚，是未来最应挖掘的一个领域。我认为这才是高级恐怖，将惊悚的故事娓娓道来，没有一惊一乍，反而让你浑身恶寒又汗毛直立。（前半段偷窥的剧情让我深陷其中，我大概也是有一些偷窥癖的，但是话说回来，每一个深爱的电影的人，大概都有一些偷窥癖，人生无趣，窥窃电影里别人的璀璨激烈来豢养自己平淡的精神世界）
全片最不意外的就是女主和摄影师必会上床，但明明可以有一百种收尾的方法导演选了个最烂最玄幻的，直接把前半段营造的氛围和高级感打破沦为三流悬疑片，逻辑难自洽。
并不意外的结局，很爽的内容哦🙄
每个人心里都住着魔。
3.5星！眼睛既是欲望的器官也是力比多的投注，如今人们进入他人之生活的权限是史无前例的，人们能预见被认识或不认识的人跟踪或是窥探半真半假的人生，人们创作着剧本，演绎着人生，欲望着他人如我所期的那样欲望着我。
2星，太过细腻以至于墨迹。影片一大堆没用的内容，最后其实就是为了讽刺一下，转折突兀，逻辑不通。 不琢磨细节，还能看看。
这个可比登堂入室差得大了去了。。
所以不要擅自进入别人的生活，不要自以为是，认清自己的渺小，渺小与渺小之间无须互相卷入。
朋友極力推薦，題材不錯，最重要是有很多fucks...
剪掉最后10多分钟的戏，不要自赎，不要复仇。
算是借鉴到了《后窗》和《登堂入室》，想要表达的主题其实很贴近当下社会，在对别人的生活津津乐道的时候，有没有想过对自己的意义在哪里？只是没有一个角色讨喜，确实真真切切地展现出了人性的黑暗面。而最终的复仇也没能达到观众期待的高潮，其实反转还挺容易猜到的。
