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.
一个现代社会，居然一宗凶杀案究竟是恶意车祸还是qj案都分不清就开始定罪，真是太可笑了。影片主旨不是案件而是种姓制度和严重社会问题。
印度的电影逐渐走出了自己的风格，虽然并不是当今盛行的实验性电影风格，但是却把自己民族和国家的问题表达到了极致，《宿敌》不仅是父权社会与女权及人权的对抗，正是法律自身与自身的对抗，还是民主与政治的对抗，更是种姓制度与新时代人性的对抗。这些对抗加上层层的悬疑，让一个片子既有了阶层点燃大家的内心，又给予了片子本身强悬疑快反转的底色，虽然会有一定的bug，但是却给了电影更大的空间。这便是印度电影的进步，我们的亚太区电影真的各有各的特色，啥时候能咸鱼翻个身啊！
就能勾起魔幻大陆上的哑巴们连绵高潮。
仿佛彼只需吼一些我们所不能言的口号，
任何一个国家如何对待弱势，体力弱势、情感弱势、乃至地位弱势的人，那就是一个国家文明的底线。可是之类的电影看到太多了，尤其是韩国日本印度，却对于社会没有太多进步，仍然是女性权利最低的几个国家。不禁沮丧，电影能救个狗X啊。
嘶吼说教的越大声越显得表达绵软无力。
民众日常被zz摆弄而不自知，教育系统是潜移默化的洗脑，一部电影多角度讽刺，法庭辩论的部分是想要起立鼓掌的程度，总的来说意义大于电影本身，五🌟（革命万岁！
反转反转再反转再反转。
反转得并不生硬，除了前半段过多的歌曲和慢节奏，其他都堪称完美。后半段紧凑了许多，对种姓制度和政治黑暗大加鞭挞，印度还真是能拍出好电影啊。
十分精彩，剧情不断反转，内容针砭时弊，涉及政治阴谋、教育体制、种族歧视、性别歧视、法律公信等，真是太敢拍了，期待续集。
这个吃人不吐骨头的印度体质神兽，要是在片尾留一个带货的链接的话，估计这会儿已经有上亿人把这食人兽买回家当宠物了吧。
剧本层层反转设置的还可以，但是内容塞得太满，这个烂导演完全驾驭不了。没完没了的啰嗦闪回和慢动作镜头，让人莫名烦躁。
仅体制谋杀这一点，
2.用后即弃的白手套永远是底层
不断反转之中，逻辑也合情合理。但是信奉甘地这个点我很不喜欢，非暴力不合作，本身就是”假革命“啊~
片头说这是导演的第一部作品 真的nb
非我等动动笔杆、喊喊口号的“理论家”所能企及
虽然学生运动过于急切，法庭辩护离题千里，但是，太讽刺了
还行。。节奏比较差，mv式的片段太多了。。时长可以减少四五十分钟。两小时以内会比较好。
今年又一部伟大的印度电影诞生
