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.
索金的电影依旧有自己的问题，但是在这个法庭戏上用他的方法把情绪传达到最好；Eddie口音确实不明显，演的也很脱离他传统角色，尤其是那个镜头；拿奖的话，比较有戏的可能就是剧本和双男配，Eddie可能混个金球男主提名…
历史中发生过的事件，重演过的、近些年又上演的...只是吧不同的对待方式，能让人看见其中的各不同。有的政治审判，还让人看见还有一丝光，还吐露过真相...有的连审判都没有，政治与权力就是审判...这是与我们不同的时代，不同的世界。
本片能拿多少个提名我不知道，倒是关注里有多少个人上人我是知道了【狗头保命】
大选在即，“预告”的信息量又是如此丰富。历史总是相似而不惊人。《芝加哥七君子审判》应运而生，全世界都在看⋯⋯吗？
众星云集的网剧，真实事件改编，不负期待，应该是近期看过的网飞电影里最好看的一部~剧本工整张弛有度，虽然大部分是法庭辩论的文戏，但因为恰到好处的闪回和凌厉的剪辑又显得很带感，喜欢片尾的结束方式，感觉是全片的点睛之笔~
他相信“这个国家的民主制度是极好的”，却不幸有了一些坏人当权把控，但“每隔四年就会有一次推翻重来的机会”，所以对照如今，恐怕他说的机会已经到了，那就让我们拭目以待一切会不会在BD手中变好呢？
网飞这个片子真的让人蛮失望的。
民运也许存在很多问题，但这绝不是思想审判的正当理由。当法律沦为政治的走狗，那么自然法上的正义就不复存在了。对正当程序的背弃、对政治迫害的容忍、以及对公民最基本权利（生命和自由）的肆意剥夺，都是这种状态孕育而生的产物。这是一个完完全全的警察国家。
“你是否藐视我们的政府？”
All world is watching, indeed, we are just watching and free ourselves.
因为我们内心其实都已经站好边了，让原本该紧张的法庭戏观感大打折扣，况且也没有啥戏剧性的转折出现，所以内心毫无波澜的看完了。三星半吧。
广场上，曾经也发生过一个惊心动魄的故事。不知道我们要用多少年才能把它拍出来。
摄影老套但剪辑威武，让这碎片化的情节紧凑得如同枪战片。力度不太够的是结尾，略为消减了前面大半部分的蓄力。但瑕不掩瑜，8分水准！以后索金粉算我一个！

企图用高强度的对白协同剪辑制造出本不存在于历史情境当中的情感波动，但本质是以违背现实情境作前提的，因此是一部电视剧。对历史还原毫无塑造“在场”的意识，十足证明艾伦·索金对历史事件复原的兴奋点是一种粗暴意淫的快感。
那演技让我觉得不止12个人
通篇就讲了一件事：怎么样叫作“不拿人当人”，以及人之所以成为人，是如何做到的。中国的现代史上也有这么牛逼闪闪的人物，只是他们成不了电影。最后宣读阵亡名单时，小朋友站在法庭椅子上向父辈致敬的一刻，犹如《死亡诗社》一般热血，也是民权的希望之所在，最好的启蒙教育，最好的父子传承，就是这样完成的。
不知道法学生看了是会反省还是会迷恋这份优越感。
这世界充满苦难与未知的恐惧，但是总有一些阳光与温暖，总有一些东西让我们感受到阳光与温暖，于是我们还能继续活着
