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.
是好看的，特别古典的传统好莱坞励志剧情片，《幸福来敲门》的金钱至上爱拼就会赢价值观，讲《摔跤吧爸爸》的狼性内卷教育，对于咱们老中做题家来说实在太无聊了，还不如感慨一下职业化的魅力拍得淋漓尽致。威尔史密斯表演偏执、精明、疲惫，多智近妖，活脱脱一个美国刘德华。
人真的无完人。一面是认真负责一心付出教会尊严与自信的一切为了小孩的伟大爸爸，一面是四处留情没有责任心自大又自卑满嘴跑火车的drama queen。比想象中有趣，真正伟大的是姐妹吧，两个人的成功却专注在父权的角度，有点遗憾
但始终不理解为什么很多人说爹味很重，可能是抛开事实和故事背景不谈的被迫害妄想症吧
黑人+女权+鸡汤+反商业式剧本——标准冲奥之作
多么动人的一部作品。孩童有自己看待世界的方式，有着自己的烦恼和思考，电影像一座联通成人与孩童的桥，用谈话、采访去细心而谦虚地探索和表达着他们的思想，同时也反思成人自己。华金和小演员伍迪的表现都太好了，叔侄间的情感平淡且自然的流淌在银幕的一颦一蹙之间，不经意间戳中我的心绪，久久不能平息。

黑人，双网球名将之父，精明，偏执，独裁，自大又自卑，爱家又滥情——传主的身份和性格精准地迎合了新时代获奖传记片大数据。剧作延展也在预料之中：网球不过是个壳子，内核还是家庭和种族。
Richard作为冠军的父母其实并没有什么借鉴性，倒是所有底层人都应该学学他的处事方式。
Joaquin Phoenix的舅舅身上完全看不到丝毫小丑的影子，黑白镜头下的洛杉矶温柔、浪漫、美丽得像首诗一样，其他城市也展现出了别样的气质。摄影的运镜非常的subtle，贴合本片的气质。因为男主的职业与录音有关，本片声效也做得非常的细致。小男孩受其音乐家父亲的影响，喜欢古典音乐，所以包括德彪西的《月光》在内的古典音乐被多次运用，当然Dessner两兄弟的原创配乐也非常优秀，A24已经给它们制成唱片了。美术方面运用了非常多的pattern和非常多的set dressing丰富了小男孩和妈妈生活的家。正是这些丰富的线条材质让他们家即使在黑白镜头下显现出了层次感。当然，这个家按理来说并不大，所以摄影师用了很多镜面来让这个空间显得更加的丰富。
D— / 从「百万美元宝贝」到这部... 既然想要打鸡血，不如直接按照摔跤吧爸爸那样拍，可能还会好哭一点。
强调下，讲的是大小威姐妹的父亲，应该看这个男人为他的孩子们做了什么，是如何做到的。假设仅关注体育明星的历史，那就差劲儿多了。看他如何训练孩子，如何避开商业化，如何坚定不移，如何做梦。另说，威尔一定是入戏太深没出来，他那一巴掌简直就是理查德先生附体。因为这一掌，才看的本片。有孩子的父母可以看看，可以参考参考。
电影聚焦于实现成功除个人努力以外，家庭对其的影响，不同于其他的传记片。自我肯定很重要，但是亲人的肯定有的时候也很重要
很适合Will Smith的角色也有很恰当的表演，但在全世界已经知道结果的前提下，人物的形象问题是被削弱的。运动本身没有被夸张强调，从密集的家庭戏中大概可以想象到如果结局不同，又会发生什么样的变化。
当然这部影片也是没有逃脱黑人的政治色彩，时不时要提几句毫无关联性的迫害小段子……突兀而不伦不类……
为史皇看的，传记式的电影，所以就内容上来说相对平铺直述，不过你能够通过电影看到一个黑人父亲如何为他的黑人家庭做了最好的规划，如何逃离那个黑人社区，如何成就了这对网球史上最伟大的姐妹。想要了解威廉姆斯姐妹的球迷可以看，一个励志的故事。
电影可以给你讲各种成功的励志故事，教你努力的方式，却没法带给你天赋和努力。规划只是生活的一部分，脚踏实地，专注当下。
自負又自卑的父親，自負於女兒網球天賦，又自卑於自身身份，固執的父親最後還是遂了女兒的意。
2022-3-7. 看评论才知道原来这么多人认为国王是褒义词?那你们知道国王坎通纳吗...
文不对题，标题是King Richard但电影看下来似乎是一个父亲带领女儿们成为运动明星的成长故事，而且父亲的角色塑造也很难共情。奥系流水传记片能不能通通去死。。。难看。。。
体育界这种虎爸成才的故事其实并不多，中国的例子我就想到丁俊晖。
