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.
人们总是被眼前的金钱蒙蔽了双眼 人为财死是永恒的话题
可以入选今年最喜欢的电影之一，配乐、调度、光影、演员、剪辑都很强大。片尾曲那么轻柔就更棒了。
剧情转折和人物转变太生硬缺乏逻辑性，浪费了这么好的卡司和这么卖力的演出
Jack Bauer居然演反派，我不能接受
苦难，痛苦，等待，希望，成空，算计，被坑，正义
节奏不错。个别镜头切换突兀。风格偏写实，但战斗人员和战斗逻辑比较拉胯甚至降智。无聊时可以简单看看。
看着太难受了，干燥，没水没食物，很不舒服的感觉。。
从他们对话说留下来一个人就大概猜到了结局。。而且节奏有点太拖了。。
想表现人性的贪婪，最终双双陨命。亮点不多，比较吸引眼球的是干燥荒芜的隔壁沙滩！
人们总是被眼前的金钱蒙蔽了双眼 人为财死是永恒的话题
这片子演员真特么的辛苦 感觉那些小鲜肉真特么的安逸
还可以，惊悚劲儿有了，还留了个小小的不是悬念的悬念，这真是掘命不是掘金
不太清楚人晒干脱水应该是剧中化妆的那样吗？不同于以往的独角戏电影
风景粗犷，不少镜头较好。荒漠发现搬不动的金子，正常人难道不是每人先敲下几公斤揣走，先发笔小财，再一起去找挖机么？
地狱一样的沙漠，人为财死鸟为食亡，螳螂捕蝉 黄雀在后。
男主脑子里不多的理智也和水分一起蒸发走了。
应该是特效做的吧
虎头蛇尾，挺好一主题，退伍军人尤其是特种兵的问题，处理不好就是一大问题。最后草草收场。
该去的地方没去成，不该得的没得到还搭进去了一条命。人要知道满足
派恩和本福斯特之前的赴汤蹈很棒，这部前半段还是“兄弟情谊”但是有部分还是有点逻辑混乱，起伏都太刻意，不知道是剧本的问题还是导演没把握好。有几个镜头还是不错的，感觉是用了IMAX摄影机
