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.
都说张伯伦绥靖政策卖国，祸水东引搞出了事。然后英国最著名的首相丘吉尔又怎么样，把一个日不落帝国打成了一个岛国，被美国苏联欺负了50年。元首也不傻，他再疯再狂妄也知道美苏不好惹，但是没办法，不提前动手，斯大林准备充分了照样会动手，苏德互不侵犯条约和慕尼黑协定又何尝不是一回事呢?就美国人最聪明，也因为得天独厚的地理优势最后当了大赢家。如果丘吉尔好好想想，选择中立甚至排开意大利加入轴心 那如今的世界也许会有趣很多。
确实扭转了一些我对张伯伦的认识，人物塑造相当成功，很不错
印度剧必神，必唱唱跳跳。难免也会剧情俗套......还违背物理定理、生物定理什么的.....不过视觉效果不错
前面的间谍片段多少有点太儿戏了吧😂每个角色都很有魅力，一些悬念也留到了最后，结局重温几个人的大学时光以及不言而喻的割裂未来让人心碎…

乔治麦凯演完《1917》又演了慕尼黑会议，之后会演二战片吗？不得不说麦凯这几年选片质量还不错，这部里也可以get到他的颜了，之前老觉得他的脸丧丧的，这部里很有英国绅士味道。如果休和保罗遇到的不是张伯伦而是更主战的丘吉尔，又会是什么结局。
#Siskel 不抱期待去看电影竟然意外的喜欢。套路神片, 但是确实好看。歌舞照常加分。运镜感觉比最新的蜘蛛侠好…突然想看用《瞬息全宇宙》的套路拍抗战神片, 反正都把牛顿按在地上蹂躏了, 彻底一点更爽, 哈哈哈哈。
一份有麻有辣有奶油有咸鱼有番茄酱有樱桃有小龙虾有臭豆腐的豪华大披萨！这片要是中国拍的票房绝对捧到100亿啊
额，真的每个国家都一样呗，以后不要总喷自己国家喜欢意淫了。亚非拉兄弟万岁……哈哈哈哈
健身族连连惊呼：这核心！！！中国观众表示比我们的手撕鬼子还差点意思。
However, this is where we are now
印度电影几十年如一日，在观赏性和娱乐性上面下足了功夫，这部超高投资的大片更是做到了极致！它根本不管违反了多少物理学定律，违背了多少生物学常理，忽略了多少逻辑学要理，唯一就是要爽到底，爆米花就要爆到喷泉般狂涌！肾上腺素就是要爆表！管人家文艺闷骚骚出金熊金狮金棕榈，咱就是只想引燃全场，燃燃燃---RRR！
火柴棒对水龙头，恰似对你的温柔。
看有一条评论说，我们的历史教科书是毛子的史观？绥靖政策是合理必要的？那课本中的苏德互不侵犯条约呢？建议回炉重新接受义务教育。
终于看上了！没想到这俩男主会有这么好磕…荞麦又在紧急送关键信件哈哈哈哈 德国小哥太帅了！开头剪辑碎得我一度难以入戏 但越看越觉得总体还不错 拍得真的蛮抓人的 但感觉男主和妻子的部分没太大作用？结尾重复开头三个人那段感觉也很unnecessary 张伯伦的那种政客的狡猾嘴脸还是展现得挺好的 有代入感了 虽然查了一下感觉一些历史上的细节没拍出来 可能电影也无意于此吧 又知道了一段二战历史就很nice～
无限外挂，动作慢放。尬看啊 就是有些歌挺好听的
算是跟《兰心大剧院》互文了…在既定历史框架下插入的一系列架空情节还是稍显勉强了
节奏很好， 导演很逊，歌曲好听。电影主旨是为张伯伦洗白？当年丘吉尔怎样在Hause里苦口婆心地希望大家看到希特勒狼子野心的？可是都被一张薄薄的慕尼黑条约蒙了眼睛！
好看的电影和可恶的revisionist history
印度耗资巨大的动作大片，三小时的抗英神片，阿三哥开起挂来宇宙第一。
