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.
我疑惑的是这些导演怎么就不能把剧本好好打磨打磨
连姆尼森真的老了，当年还能亲切地称他为大叔，现在只能管他叫大爷，过去动作戏是看点，如今已经变成槽点。
一直揪着心看到最后，两个人发现了那么大一块金子，我就知道肯定会有想独吞的，一个人在沙漠里守着那么多天真的太绝望了，最后一箭不知道是谁射的
老连姆大叔再度出演救赎片，这次是一个老胳膊老腿临近老年痴呆的老杀手的另一种救赎。还行吧。
冒着生命危险去寻找财富和荣耀 有人性的贪婪 还有倔强的骨气
导演欠打。本子吧，有瑕疵，精耕一下应该还不错，可拍的四不像，核心不突出，辅料没有料，冷热节奏乱糟糟，想一出是一出，估计伏笔都不好意思自认，拍成这样，最后几幕竟然还想追寻点意境自我陶醉一下？真糟蹋连姆大叔的演技。
真的当天晚上看的，第二天晚上豆瓣上标记时基本已经忘记剧情了，没有留下任何记忆。
「老年性失忆」在本片中的设定除了刻意「卖惨」之外毫无意义，一个冷血杀手因为目标是妇孺而良心发现也是陈芝烂谷的套路，连姆·尼森最终也走上了年老色衰之名演员平平谢幕（柯南道尔语）的老路。
看完才意识到是翻拍，可惜比原作差得有点多，连姆尼森已经没啥突破了，对那些流泪受伤的镜头都过于熟悉，德州墨西哥边境没拍出特色。
我觉得电影作为一个凶杀片来说，还是可以的。只不过这个名字“记忆”和其中一些关于记忆的镜头，让人在前面有了过高的期待，而最后几乎没有回收这些期待，估计这一点上有些失落。
Alex Hugo Vincent. 导演会取名系列。老套路爽片，阿尔兹海默症晚期杀手的绝唱。Justice has no use.
杀手有点儿老，那么厉害克服病魔，最后死的也太没智商了……jc不行就算了，最后还倒戈了……
自古美人叹迟暮，不许英雄见白头。几乎没法看，老头不但身手不太行了（比前几部有反弹），还阿兹海默了……莫妮卡贝鲁奇也残了。哎……
关键时刻，枪里竟然没有撞针？这个故事告诉我们什么，细节决定成败啊！
区别于大叔之前几部廉价动作片，马丁坎贝尔的冷峻也还在，不过剧本太长太杂了，最后半小时尤其糟糕，片名记忆也没有很好展现，不过大叔和皮尔斯是能看的
当欲望起念的时候，结局已经注定。-----A股交易员留言
套路有点老，但是周末晚上看看感觉还不错啦！
比我想象中的好看多了，结尾是情理之中，又是意料之外。我给7分。
①这部《记忆》，也被译名《记忆营救》，毕竟连姆大叔的新片要是没有营救两个字，根本就没有灵魂。
大叔本是人狠话不多，上年纪变成碎嘴唠叨就很难接受。
