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.
很现实啊，没有足够的养老金，那就卖掉房屋去老年公寓合租吧！死后没人来参加葬礼，那就办个生前葬礼吧。日本已经开始探索老龄化社会的居住方式了，咱们也不远了。
上有老下有小的生活，都缺钱！最后怎么成了房子广告
本以為會看得焦慮，結果還挺輕描淡寫ε-(´∀｀; )反正東亞人不配養老hhhh
应该是今年看过最好的日影，一个家庭各种压力下的无耐却又带着感人，无论生活如何，都要努力活着
很搞笑，将一个严峻的社会问题拍成了电影，所以从现在开始就攒钱养老吧！
现在很多人表示自己都未必能活到退休，养老金这个东西让它见鬼去吧…
这部电影就是在告诉你天海佑希为什么是不婚主义者
公婆好恶心啊，自己游山玩水住高级养老院，把钱用完了还要子女出钱办豪华葬礼。。。媳妇幻想能赚礼金，结果血亏。夫妻双双失业，还有个未婚先孕又赚不到钱的女儿，不愧是电影，能塑造出这么凄惨的一个家庭。。。最后还能靠群租房翻盘的？日本政府是这样给老百姓洗脑的？群租房难道不是问题的根源么
这是日本的现实，可能也是中国即将的现实，值得深思。
所以日本政府鼓励用share house的方式养老了，现实恐怕很难是这样的happy together.
挺有意思的日本片子，一开始以为是贩卖焦虑的内容，但影片中无不体现的正能量一点点治愈了观众。
完全感受到上有老下有少的中年人压力啊~什么都是钱！想自己任性消费一下都像是个遥不可及的奢侈。很喜欢结局那种安排，不要被世俗单一标准去框死自己，从来人生不止一种活法。最重要还是活在当下！
前半段看的我太抓心挠肝儿了，天海买完包包那边真是太美啦
童话片。把沉重的话题拍的太轻浮和想当然了，现实是大部分人以后可能真没有养老的资金。天海祐希毫无生活气息，不适合生活化角色。
生前葬挺好的，不想死了后那么沉闷，也不想听和尚念经，感谢生命中出现的人，大家开开心心多好。
本来以为会做点什么...想不到居然...摆烂到底。(经济建设为中心的打工人沦为被压榨对象)最后老了租房笑着过完一生。这样长久下去，怎么可能会有活力欲望?
怎么说呢，我总觉得关于钱好像不是这么轻易的。又或许是资本主义国家分配得贴心，钱凑凑就有了，也不是真正的危机。
7分。又好笑又温情。天海佑希和松重丰演的喜剧片。中年夫妻双双失业，丈夫父亲离世需要花钱办葬礼，丈夫母亲养老需要花钱，自己女儿要结婚需要花钱办婚礼。花钱的地方非常多，存款越来越少，无论如何节流都无法阻止入不敷出。焦虑，甚至惶恐，掌握财政大权的女主人几近崩溃。在这个过程中发生了很多有趣的事情，婆媳的关系越来越好。最后当然是柳暗花明了，困难的日子总会熬过去，夫妻俩又再找到了工作。有多少存款不是最重要的，最重要的是一家人能够团圆、和睦。
share house 我的未来
这么好看 评分低....
