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.
虽然被孙锡久吸引过来，但全钟瑞才是闪闪发光的那个。这种角色对她来说仿佛驾轻就熟。和《燃烧》里的海美有一点点像。想看她挑战其它类型的角色啊
原来无论受过哪种教育/哪个国家的 当代的年轻人，恋爱的模式都是大同小异啊，but孙锡久真的太太太帅了
纯属为了全钟瑞看这种爱情片 怎么办感觉她无论演什么看起来都不正常
看了觉得很暖的一部电影呢，虽然结局有点俗，但是过年看看挺不错的
部分女主完全是世另我，男女主的个人魅力好强。
打炮出真情系列（仅吐槽这个内核有点子好笑，约炮软件上是不可能有优质对象的）这算寒国人的年末贺岁电影吧，确实和国内的味差不太多，要合家欢所以不能太有内涵也不能太深刻更不可能香艳
我可太喜欢孙锡九了，整个人儿都特松弛，只可惜故事太过拉垮，只能从几段男女主快速对话中瞥见导演还是有些幽默在身上的。
很好的励志片，看的心潮澎湃，男主稍微不足，可能剧本问题，没把男主演的更伟大一些，这样反转的更夸张。我打7.5分，4星算了。
孙锡久太有魅力啦！看台词好的人在一起对戏真是一种享受。

7吧 蛮不一样的爱情片 孙锡久这个人长得不咋帅 但有一种满满吸引我的东西 不知道是啥哈哈 里面甚至还讲述了网暴 相爱的时候就去爱吧 管之后会怎样呢
草根理智的主题虽然很普通，但作为传记电影算的上好片。
为了具子敬而看，俗套老套的剧情设定，但不难看，女主也不错，一大波船戏是《我的解放日志》爱好者们的福音，解放同好会成员们压抑的荷尔蒙得到大规模释放。
为了说说话，做爱才去谈恋爱，这是他们一直在做的事啊
如果最后男女主角不是he，就在女主让男主社死之后截然而止，就能再加一星。
两个有特色的类型演员的爱情轻喜剧，歪打正着还挺有趣。被发现自己写了他们的经历那一段，确实感受到男人的恳切和真挚的感情，心疼了一下。但多少觉得电影选角还是差一点，与整体贴合的感觉有点距离，多少影响了一下入戏。
期待过高了，可能有一些语言上的不能百分百理解，剧情就是有点俗套
剧本挺好的，小而美，没有性爱场面的约炮爱情成功故事，很工整，小金句很多，完全按照节拍表来的
孙锡久脑残粉在此，全程把女主脸代入自己。 金瑟祺好可爱啊可惜演了女配。女主怎么说呢，台词功力不行，被男主秒的渣不剩，原先在燃烧也没get到她的演技。 最好笑的是你的目光所及之处的张义秀在这电影里竟然打酱油了一个健身房妈宝小帅哥，简直xswl。
看郑佳映的作品可能最合适的描述就是敞亮，今年最惊喜的发现了。
