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.
戴安娜既不是野鸡也不是烈马，而是时刻要被人观赏，被无爱婚姻和宫廷礼教捆住的金丝雀，美丽但不自由。就像结尾这首摇滚相对于之前的古典音乐，戴安娜的格格不入在所有人看来都十分刺眼，大量跟拍特写，就像时刻对准她的镜头和隔墙有耳的监视，小k经住了考验，压抑痛苦情绪传达出来，而且拍的太美了，拉来安妮·博林这个点有意思。
这是拉雷恩帮绿木新砖拍的MV吗？？除了视听一无是处，剧本就够空洞够无聊了，更绝的还是K姐那不堪入目的矫情演技和难以忍受的做作口音……就这还敢想威尼斯影后？我呸，金酸梅提名还差不多。还是看几集《王冠》洗洗眼睛耳朵吧
闹米沃茨演《戴安娜》，K演《斯宾塞》，都是一样的问题，人物高于故事，只能作为两边的粉丝特供片来看，而他们和真实的戴妃又很隔阂。这部片子更是全程由人物在推动故事，导演水平有限，那些形式上的东西其实没啥看头（看到很多评论说到《闪灵》，库神的那些“形式”这哪里能比哦）。
如此惊艳又那么渺小~
電影有點像「閃靈」和「四百擊」的結合體，也有點「黑天鵝」的味道。電影如同一個十分暗黑的童話。必須細細品嚐。結尾處可以說是點睛之筆。服裝，攝影，和配樂皆為上乘。小K今年奧斯卡拿定影后了。
然后她就一直穿着耐克哈哈哈
半星给莎莉霍金斯半星给Chanel的漂亮裙子
You're the pearls in my soup
13.11.2021 | @ Regal Majestic | 今年看到最好的女性电影是Spencer，最好的女性表演来自Kristen Stewart。成长与责任带来的切肤之痛去掉贵族的头衔之后也是我的痛，感受太真实了。4.4/5扣分给有点漫长的片头。
一直以来都觉得这么酷的戴安娜不适合王室，在这里她被剥夺了太多太多，没有未来，只有按部就班遵守规则，只是流通的货币。她想要的是过去的那一份自由，她想成为的是斯宾塞。看到她和Maggie在阳光下奔跑的那一幕真的好为她开心。（看完想吃KFC了）
你永远可以相信毛骗团队！！除了蛋糕线最后有一点点牵强之外、真的不输绝大多数院线国产悬疑喜剧！！话说邵庄为啥看着越来越年轻了、
远比被提纯的《杰奎琳》喜欢。当然某种程度上，也可以说是被惊吓的戴安娜，但精心布景的庄园和规矩方寸间，让小K神经质的表演合理了不少。

我知道欲戴其冠必承其重，也更明白自由的可贵。
大题材用非常小的切角，整体氛围其实我真的挺喜欢，让身处在“妻子、母亲”身份的女性观众得以移情，后半程的挣脱也如梦似幻，《闪灵》也好《巴里林登》也罢，就像你并不知道真实是否如电影揣测一般——Dianne被婚姻制剥夺体重、衣着、饮食，但你可以体会“自我”伴随空间被剥夺的窒息。这只是痛苦一部分，痛苦不会只来自外部而没有内部——凭什么女王能扛得下holy oil，而女主角不行，这说了，却没解释清楚，没好好地展开啊。通篇隐喻过于匠气直给，来自王子授意的仆人压力、城堡主管说那一句效忠王权也大可不必，太小家子气了。我只同意那一句，fuck doctors，what you need is love.以及KS演技造作的问题是挺严重的，总是有偶像剧味儿，美则美矣，就是老端着膀子。
挑战传记片是挺值得敬佩的，拿她和马思纯的葛薇龙比有点辱k了吧，起码k外形还是尽量靠拢的。演技和气质就不大行了，k演黛安娜没有她的那种脆弱易惊，k是易怒神经。你会觉得等她怒气值攒满要血洗皇宫。
三点五吧……
电影呈现的是一个叫斯宾塞的女人，不是一个叫戴安娜的王妃。她渴望窗帘后的天空和藩篱后的自由，她向往与儿子在泰晤士河边吃炸鸡和一次不守规矩的圣诞节。皇室的繁文缛节和循规蹈矩，如同电影贯穿始终那低沉压抑的背景音乐，让人感受着这个女人的压抑与绝望。倔强和叛逆，是再华丽的衣服都盖不住的，也许正是这份性格，才让小K演绎有了共通性。
好全的一次毛骗后主演团队再聚首，冬冬的几段承包了此片所有的笑点。
十多年老粉，《麻辣隔壁》过来的。故事还算完整！
