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.
Our Past is never where we left it , we all have scars. If you stare at them long enough you will remember how you got them.
纯粹为了美琪来的，她年轻时对她没什么感觉，她岁数大了反而看着很有味道了。只不过再牛逼的美琪也回不到赤裸特工时的身手了，一群老家伙们的狂欢也掩盖不住的疲态。两分给美琪，一分给动作设计，扣除的两分是给糟糕的剧情和掩盖不了的疲态。
两星给Maggie Q，半星给卡司，剩下半星给虎头蛇尾的剧情
如果你用两倍速度看他的打戏会是一部非常优秀的爽片
总体还可以，但我个人感觉东西方文化差异还是应该表现一下的，否则就显得有点生硬的所谓酷。
【2】透露着浓郁世纪初趣味的时装特工片，段落的生搬硬凑和调度的平庸都让本片仅剩那么一点情怀。
u can only live twice
冲着MaggieQ打三星 打戏还是挺好看的 但越到后面越莫名其妙 太扯了 感觉可以拍的更好
故事性比较弱，但是动作戏还是比较过瘾的，最后有点女权的意思
莫名其妙且集各种陈腐于一体。罗伯特帕特里克怎么老成这样了？
熬再多的骨头汤，也无法给马丁坎贝尔补钙了。
很多情节太夸张啊，顶尖杀手也得讲个逻辑不是。还有，30年前能组装枪械我信，但十几秒就完成就有点那个啥了吧，不过，年纪轻轻的就知道杀人要补枪，打了很多中二反派的脸啊
李美琪的演技真是一言难尽，尼基塔之后那么多年过去，都没有任何进步。年老色衰后，估计也只能继续在小成本电影里养老了。
灭全家的时候为什麼留着小女孩？小女孩什么脑袋一看就会组合枪支？报仇期间和杀手真枪实炮干的很欢，然后再毙了对方？黑人到低在干什么？莫名其妙的死而复生与大佬同归于尽，以色列特请16人未出面就死了？故剧情乐色！李美琪动作表演3分！
50/100，透露着浓郁世纪初趣味的时装特工片，段落的生搬硬凑和调度的平庸都让本片仅剩那么一点情怀。
男主为什么找老头？？难怪女主最后杀了他。气死老娘了嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤！
6.5分。MAGGIE Q的颜真的很能打啊，这么大岁数了竟然还耐看。说起来Martin Campbell当年动作片经典无数，但如今年老体衰，真的挺唏嘘的。剧本有点烂，平铺直叙，放在如今看缺乏爆点。Michael Keaton也是70岁的人了，竟然还这么帅倒是没想到，他的几场打戏比Q的要好看多了~~果然还是要上力量啊~~~
女主依然美艳，男女杀手惺惺相惜互爱互杀的情节稍感有新意，但更显角色的动机模糊，故事逻辑混乱。
Maggie Q作为主演还是值得恭喜的，在好莱坞混出了一席之地。但记得的还是她的《赤裸特工》。故事比较寡淡点，女主天生杀手兼带点好运气。局长大人很抢镜。
非常一般，但又比《凯特》好点，但总体上就是两个字：平庸。
