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.
概念不新鲜，过程也无趣，悬念早早曝光，欧美这些个恐怖片里的妖魔鬼怪可以写一本山海经了，小男主演的倒是不错
……..预告片好有气氛的样子，可是正片实在太无聊太无聊了……
沉闷到jump scary都不能让人提起精神。它的感觉就像看别人玩游戏，不是自己玩，乐趣少一半。
为了恐怖而恐怖，剧情分了几个点，但怎么也连不起来。
摄影还可以，但台词写的很一般。美国恐怖片对女人的刻板印象什么时候能改改哦
以为是恐怖片 结果是怪兽片 再说那老师的战斗力是什么鬼啊 而且是怎么做到那么短的时间接受这个设定的啊 人家传说级的怪物就这么叫你A死了？ 让我感觉这个世界的人类是不是经常处理这些事
想起来很多年前那部妈妈，那部是鬼妈喂女儿，这部是儿子喂妖怪爹
答案是毒品。
画面干净扎实，特效镜头不多，但故事始终围绕主题，效果好。
emmm…导演应该感谢他的摄影师，起码把氛围渲染出来了，制作成本一定很低。
是有点好笑，但是片子长到新鲜劲儿一过我就开始无比厌烦
为什么今年欧美的“恐怖片”都在搞育儿啊？？？？这是什么潮流？？？！！！！！那果然还是亚洲恐怖片灵媒好多了，至少那家的女儿已经工作了……
一般般，如果实在无聊可以观看。
惊艳果然只存在于预告片，陀螺+高耶都没办法拯救的民俗怪奇小说改编剧本，从年度最期待恐怖片沦为披着神话皮还想讲点弑父哲学最后却只能充当降智桥段总集的小丑。但不得不说温迪戈在炙热中从宿主体内破腹而出的威慑感以及对奇形怪状尸体的大胆展示确实夺目，而小镇之森自带一种对原住民神话的亲近感却又无法把控鹿魔这种在美学层面迷人得疯狂的异形存在，只能说潘神迷宫中那露骨豪华的礼遇已无法在恐怖片粗俗刻板化的今日重新显现。
5.3.. 广大豆友的恐怖片喜好真的让我捉摸不透。
虎頭蛇尾吧 開頭其實蠻好的 氣氛營造的好 越到後面就覺得可惜了
风景不错，但是怪物被弱鸡女主轻易杀死太突兀了
整部电影的结尾，故事戛然而止，但是我更多的还是对整个电影主题的疑问。如果它想讲摆脱变态的父爱，那么神话传说的引入就不是那么恰当，前后的铺垫也不太完整；如果只是想讲一个恐怖故事，那么儿童虐待的问题就显得有些多余。不过值得一提的是，整部电影对于环境的渲染是相当不错的，无论是大雾的晚上、幽静的林中小路、漆黑一片的矿道，还是结尾辽阔的湖边，都很好地衬托了电影的氛围。
前面都很好，结局崩盘了，可惜了这出色的惊悚恐怖片了
风景不错，但是怪物被弱鸡女主轻易杀死太突兀了
