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.
我看的是225分钟的导演剪辑版，比剧场版多了88分钟，分为五集播出。
难道应该把本人与电影本身分开吗？难道会有更多人是因为某位主创/演员而观看这部片的吗？这是对一个icon所能做到的最不超出预期的描摹，怎奈她已化作星辰，闪耀于夜空之中了。因此我永遠懷念你。3.6
人生短暂，想做就去做，想见的人就去见。
差一口气，但也瑕不掩瑜。想念香港，想去香港。
喜欢慢节奏的人都觉得太拖沓了，面面俱到反而没有突出重点。演员温柔有余而硬朗不足，梅姑的豪爽与英气、坚强与隐忍都不到位。
看电影前特意搜了一下关于梅姐的视频看，有许多爱和感动，也有许多唏嘘和遗憾，特别是梅姐生前最后的那场演唱会。或许在梅姐离开后的这近20年时，这样的电影上映，从传记片效果上还是看其实挺尴尬，但当电影中女人花和夕阳之歌响起的时候，坐在电影院还是哭的不能自已，只为这个嫁给舞台音乐嫁给观众的梅姐。
差强人意，这种水平真的还是不要拍比较好。梅艳芳张国荣这样的人，有谁可以替代演出来？
有文章讲，认识梅艳芳是倒叙，首先知道的就是她的谢幕，我也是，从她的终点往相反的时间点长大，才逐渐看过《胭脂扣》、《钟无艳》、《审死官》和《半生缘》。作为不够了解她的过路人也在看影片时哭得很惨，关锦鹏说她本身就长得苦，如花本色出演就够，真的是从荆棘中奋力开出的玫瑰，香港的江湖儿女。王丹妮真的像，说话方式神情都努力去模仿，至于缺失对母亲重男轻女的描写、洗白近藤真彦等问题，只能解释为太多当事人仍在世而无法展示了。最大的问题在于，张国荣是什么人物，导演你就选一个毫无资质的男演员来凑数？如果是一个几分相像的帅哥努力模仿，观众还能理解，毕竟无人能完全复制那种绝代芳华，但这个演员又丑又没有努力的意思，很难不令人倒胃口，还捏造梅帮哥哥加戏的情节，建议荣迷远离这个片子，不然会被气死。
导演剪辑1/5。从童年喜欢唱的《女人花》到集中看港产片对梅姐电影作品的涉猎再到她的《夕阳之歌》等音乐以及与Leslie的友谊，很难不喜欢上她，“香港的女儿”。传记片确实很难拍好，这部有些流水账了，但看到、听到那些画面、旋律还是忍不住怀念和感慨，曾经的芳华绝代。
我哭了两次，一次是切换成真人梅姐的第一个镜头出来时。流了眼泪。第二次就是4月1日。简直控制不了的哭。但感觉那都是真人影像带给我的。电影的本身平淡且琐碎。可能很多所谓传记片为求真实都这么拍。但那是天后啊。这么传奇的一生，拍成一个港女励志片真的好么？我也预料十足女主不能演出梅艳芳十分之一。但让我更想不到是哥哥的演员更让我出戏。这俩在一起我完全想不到是梅姑和荣少。三星实在是情怀。

看的五集导演剪辑版。情怀牌，流水账，更像是加了真人模仿秀的纪录片，不过这样倒是铺展出了一点香港由盛而衰的历史感。
和《波西米亚狂想曲》同属操作失误的范例，出于商业性（内地市场）制约，真正有价值的内容或避而不谈，或只剩些边角料的产出，转而用快餐式文本堆砌出一个光华无害的大姐大形象。可以想见主创们集体被往事裹挟后感动到一塌糊涂的情景，但真诚和消费真的只有闪念之差，如果不能在视角选取上有足够的把握，又何必开发这个项目呢？毕竟时过境迁，不论主人公还是她象征的那个时代，都早沉入香江底了。
【2.0】看的是导演剪辑版。流水账的传记片思路和当下港片的电视剧式剪辑还不是此片最严重的问题，核心问题是导演完全没抓住梅艳芳之所以成为香港娱乐圈传奇人物的那个“之所以”，这是一部沉溺于对梅艳芳的缅怀和树碑立传，但对她的浮沉经历和心路都毫无热情和兴趣的电影。
妆容造型都很有年代感。人物传记式电影故事线没那么清晰明朗，感情线有点虐。歌曲虽然带着浓浓的时代烙印，但都很好听。respect。
，甚至直接看纪录片和演唱会视频，更加感人。梅艳芳的生平是极佳的传记题材，值得被拍成更好的电影。
狠狠哭了，狠狠差评，本来以为拍这样一部片只是没有必要，不想一种谄媚只是复述光辉到死而已。
今天女主演来学校巡演 聊天的时候和我们说了她身高179 那一刻我真慕了！！！当然其实她有180+
唯一能对得起“香港的女儿”的塑造，是梅艳芳出身于街坊邻里，之后又无论何时都能从舞台走下来成为左邻右里。这也是我对旧时香港娱乐圈的好印象：庶民味、市井味，艺人、记者和观众处于一个圈层不分家，而且基本上每个香港艺人都有一个艺人、记者、观众之间默认的绰号。对香港人来讲，梅艳芳就是“阿梅（妹）”、“梅姑”。
