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.
本来以为拍老人的生理健康和年轻人的性解放的互冲。谁能想到情色没出挑，后半虐杀还降智。
颇具风格化的努力，但剧情与人物仍然很弱，当然，除了范伟。
也没啥标签，露点还不是av，在豆瓣好像都挺有市场
creepy
车站和“儿子”的分别，那一声“叫爹”是最大的泪点，和日本人正面交锋时那句“我讲你奶奶个腿儿”或将成为经典语录。范伟老师一人撑起了整部戏，他这次又演了个“小人物”，但却是个大英雄。
拧巴的片子，导演放了姜文讽刺的梗。谁？我。还有几处也像，但片子能力密度实在太低了，但也比丁晟的好。
范老师的表演showtime，手榴弹扔的也忒帅了！
主要来看范大爷的，没有失望。。只是这景确定不是林海雪原的？。。
吓人是吓人，但把老人拍的这么变态和恶心合适吗？
很典型的美国“电锯杀人狂”式的血浆片，离群索居的变态与一群年轻人。
前半部分铺垫挺好的，老年人对性的渴望很正常，但这造型太惊悚了，都吓软了
两星半吧，多半星单纯为了卡司【整体品相也不是说特别差，像是pd和sound都知道自己在干嘛，工业水准你刨去某些部分其实可以跟韩国人比肩的。但是剪辑就太迷了这节奏搞得不上不下难受得很，尤其最后一act整趴垮掉【国内红片脱不掉这种“让步于意识形态的必要牺牲”，就没办法评分往上打咧…
就比起老洪队长的正面，老王这个小人物的反转感觉更加有魅力，无论最开始的点头哈腰的狗腿子还是跟周政杰的父子情，还是最后英勇就义的正气高光
好一出荡气回肠的铁道血与骨暴力挽歌，范伟老师从影以来最炸裂演技
怎么让故事真实？那让范老师讲方言，让鬼子还讲日普，可那满口的京片观众不出戏，鬼子也不察觉吗？
不觉得影片很好，虽然带一些恐怖色彩
对老夫妇的年龄表示困惑，看外貌体态苍老得不行，结果行动起来还挺有精神一点不带喘
宗教隐喻和恐怖以及性爱元素相结合
就比起老洪队长的正面，老王这个小人物的反转感觉更加有魅力，无论最开始的点头哈腰的狗腿子还是跟周政杰的父子情，还是最后英勇就义的正气高光
前面铺垫那么长……我还以为后面有什么惊喜……而惊喜就是电影终于快结束了……
