Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
蝻*人，sign，包括蝻观众，连女主身材相貌都要点评一番，无语至极
女主一如既往地爱心满满 坚韧不拔 最后糟男主背叛 独自回到小屋舔舐伤口 痛不欲生 此后英雄选择隐姓埋名 回归平淡生活
非要在厕所里报警吗？克罗地亚警察这么蠢？不查一查她老公的航班信息？
尷尬演技但情節不錯.懷念Dubrovnik的美景
女主遇事完全不动脑子…发现点啥就哦是他杀的！又发了什么东西就是他！再发现点啥就原来是他！还回回当面质问凶手…
挺无趣的，两个人的独角戏，并不好看，只有呼呼的狂风声和自然风光比较吸引人。
剧情很平淡，讲的无非就是女主营救他人并自我救赎的事情，感觉就是想告诉大家不要轻视生命。
我觉得挺多个点都有构思的，可这个剧本，真的是，俗烂。女主最后抱着孩子笑着走出草地我也是觉得ummmmm，而且女主演技差。
4星。故事不错节奏感强，QueenB怎么变成了个发福大妈了啊……
2022.5.*女主雪山遇SB男主就下山后男主跑了，过些时跑来感谢
就是看上去人人有嫌疑 最后嫌犯在身边的路数 最不满意就是为了反转而反转 如果很空有时间 可以看看曾经的Queen B打发一下时间 真要当做惊悚犯罪电影来看还是不必了
前面的场景真不错 后面变成说教 New Hampshire 风景真不错 还要再去
警察都是傻逼吗？女主为什么总是直面杀人犯？开头渲染死者爱玩游戏干嘛？拙劣
不错的，富二代也只是心态变了，人倒是没废，敢作敢为也学到不少专业知识，牛逼。另外，原生家庭真是缺一不可。
和Blake Lively几年前那部A Simple Favor放一起看很有趣，都是悬疑，都是闺蜜失踪……相比较之下，S那部就还是雌竞塑料姐妹叙事，这部则选择了显然更woke更女权的叙事，男人都恶心，唯一的好男是叙利亚难民……看完一查果然是女导演呢…
氛围感不错，小温馨的家庭主题。说是富二代打工记，但是打工艰辛刻画不算太深刻，富二代们还是很好命的hhh
大奥米最近怎么都是一个人演电影，是演技太好了吗，这种类型电影都找她，我已经看了她这样的电影两部了，也没厌。
美剧欧洲的取景，除了巴黎、威尼斯和柏林几个烂俗的城市外，就冲选在克罗地亚就多值一颗星，只是剧情有点老套。
It’s always the husband. 有人说剧情老套，但是我很喜欢影片紧张刺激的氛围，Beth和Zain是有chemistry的，太喜欢他俩，Zain真的好温柔，可惜没有结尾两个人在街头相遇。And, always remember, trust no one, suspect everyone.
悬疑片是不是总得节节败，最后死在屎结尾上。
