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.
就是说 又看睡着两次 不喜欢优雅的秩序的东西 所以唯一觉得好的 就是演员团伙的到来打破了这一切
怎么说呢，还是可以的。
为了凑个电影整了两条故事线。但是这个英国范儿还是很入迷
That's life: getting past the unexpected, and perhaps learning from it. // Marriage is a novel, full of the plot twists along the way // I hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows. // Don't steer me, I'm not a racing car. // Stop that noise. I can't hear myself die. 临终都带着幽默 //真实拍摄地Highclere Castle 的确因为拍电影才有资金进行维护
那种生活或许已经不合时宜，但优雅永不过时。
旧的不去新的不来，于是老妇人成了画中人，那么高贵典雅的伯爵夫人。可曾有人书写她的故事？
十余年来时常倚靠一部剧集提供情绪价值足够可悲，而《唐顿庄园》似乎永远工整、高标准、符合期待，使我不能不指望。基于此的，我的意志只被允许终于无法对其产生情感反馈的那刻。
#PPC#我怎么回事！我不是已经铁石心肠看音乐剧再也不会哭了吗！严格意义上这当然不算一部好电影，舞台感很重，主人公的追求梦想路上的经历也不新鲜，哪个创作者不这样痛苦疯魔。但是Jon的结局太像命运玩笑了。早年知晓的惋惜和今夜看到加菲如此鲜活生动的复现时的心疼，暴击的我毫无抵抗。生命的确是有倒数器，30岁也终将会来，才华横溢满载掌声也没办法当下如愿实现梦想。Just start next one，sharpen your pen，writing and rewriting and rewriting…全世界都在等Netfilx的这个空隙，愿意跑去影院花钱的这寥寥几个人都是一样的吧。想起当年的一些傻事，大家都要努力，大家都要尽量活着，会有那么一天的。
一场热闹散去之后，总会迎来新的开始，有人坚守有人离去，各自的生活总还是要继续的。那些曾经的露水情缘，过去了也就是过去了，如今这样也是一个很好的结局，我们都不用为此有所遗憾。岁月催人老，我们的黄金时代早已过去，属于年轻人的时代才刚刚开始，他们也会如我们当初一样，有一个光明灿烂的未来。面对彼此新的人生征程，互道珍重，江湖再见。
气死我了！删了5分钟Barrow和男演员的同性戏！呃呃呃呃啊啊！！（深呼吸）Anyways, 神秘的5分钟，四个月后咱们网盘见吧。我觉得这一部无论是叙事还是摄影都比第一部更好，很喜欢拍电影的情节，但不太明白开头婚礼后Tom和Lucy不是离开了庄园吗，后来怎么又一起去了法国？最后应该是ultimate ending了吧……唉，Granny R.I.P. ps呜呜呜想在大银幕上看大表哥丹叔，不过能看到休叔也很满足了～好，我这个假粉决定开始补剧啦！
以婚礼开始，以葬礼终结，呜呜呜，每个人都可爱优雅克制体面
作为追了多年的老粉，只要看到这一群人，就已经分外满足了。
电影版2比1要好很多，更完整。没有硬凹剧情，唐顿独有的硬核毒舌台词也又回来了。看到最后感受到这次真的是告别了，不会再有续集了。有些欣慰，真不愿意眼看着它烂，但是也有点难过，要是时不常能看一次这热热闹闹幸幸福福的一大家子，也挺开心的。
Downton Abbey也断断续续陪伴了我近10年，还能从Lady Mary口中听到对Matthew的怀念， 从一开始不喜欢Thomas到为他的新人生而激动落泪，还有楼上楼下每一个可爱的人，以及金句制造机奶奶一路走好，无法形容我对唐顿的爱，最后请让唐顿止于此。
这一部真的有点打不出五星 尤其是画面色调 也太蓝了 （难以想象maggie smith真的去世的时候我会有多难过 另外matthew goode是有多忙啊 一个镜头都没时间拍吗！生他的气
时隔十年，虽然很多角色已经想不起来了，还是很好看很感慨的呀。南法的海和英伦的田园都很美。

其实就是一部元素满满的合家欢电影，但还是可以为了情怀多给一颗星。不管是有声电影拍摄还是别墅秘密都很类型化套路化，重要的是可以看到英国亲戚。距离看剧已经过去了那么久，看的时候重新不住地想起曾经Mary的冷漠和Thomas的毒舌，想起曾经边缘的Edith和温柔的Matthew。时至今日一切都和解，但依旧可以看到老夫人的幽默风趣以及老管家对大小姐亲人般的爱。最初看唐顿那种远观old money的感觉早就不在了，我只是在看生动鲜活的他们开启新的生活。看到第一部电影版Lady Mary掌权以为已经算是大结局了，没想到还会有这部。还是且看且珍惜吧。
为唐顿哭已经不是一次两次了，但这大概是最后一次。
形式大于内容，本就复杂的叙事结构因为歌舞加入更乱了，两段叙事时空的交错，两种表现形式的混合，不断造成的断层以至于很难融于故事当中。而且除去结尾几首歌，大部分歌曲也没什么亮点。加菲的表演状态则更像是在出演舞台剧，脱离了传记片的真实感，可矛盾的是，剧中剧结构却又允许了这种表演形式。当然，电影是最容易表现这一复杂剧本的方式，但最适合它的舞台，其实还是剧院。
