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.
哈哈哈虽然结果还是一烂片，但那句“action”的台词就值两星。
还挺有趣的，关键是气氛越来越好，不过如果不联系凯奇本身的故事。也不会有这么好的效果。
十分过誉，说到底只是一部有主角参与的影迷的迷影作品，戏里戏外都沾染了太多的凯奇光环，算是电影营销的又一次胜利吧。
分裂的自我算唯一有趣的点，让我去看了帕丁顿熊。
真的很不错，有几个笑点确实非常好笑，一点也不尴尬，讽刺很幽默。配乐也很好，值得进影院。SXSW2022
Why do you guys go CRAZY for Paddington 2???
我第一次看的凯奇的电影，应该是预见未来吧，当时还是和小伙伴一起去电影院看的呢
可能是因为期望有些高了，倒是并没有觉得十分精彩。玩了很多凯奇梗和电影梗。有几个地方还是挺有意思的，比如两个人翻墙的时候是真的被当时渲染的气氛带入到情境中了。凯奇和帕斯科两个人的表演倒真的是锦上添花。
剧情有点扯，但效果居然还不错。好了，我也准备去看《帕丁顿熊2》了。
还挺喜欢俩人入戏那段的，墙边诀别很好笑；家庭线虽然笔墨最多，但…。网红电影好喜欢这种万花筒海报啊
很适合夏天和兄弟看 一部恶搞凯奇 恶搞好莱坞的喜剧小成本 不过心酸的是凯奇最后被好莱坞接受似乎很开心的样子，还是被招安了。最后和家人团圆也不太可能，因为nick现在是茕茕孑立。
很好笑！救命，我真的有被javi和nick之间奇妙的友情感动到！剧本还蛮有趣的。衷心祝贺凯奇在一堆烂片后打了一场翻身仗，希望德普也有机会。
“我只是想和你分享一些对我意义重大的东西”
还行，但所有电影梗都让人回忆起当年凯奇的电影可是太他妈好看了。债还完了，真心希望能再创辉煌。 女儿的演员挺好看。
Paddington 2 is incredible!
自己致敬自己可还了得，凯奇你以后要争气啊！
尼古拉斯·凯奇的影迷应该超级喜欢，吐糟又过瘾。是一部喜剧，现实又电影的人生喜剧。
前几天看了WIRED与凯奇拍的一个时长8分钟的回答谷歌常见问题的视频，看完之后不得不再一次深情表白：我太爱他了，尼克·他妈的·凯奇
马上把观看《帕丁顿熊2》提上日程！！！这部电影最好看之处就在前面五分钟。
依然只是一部小制作片子，凯奇什么时候能接一部正常的大片啊，这么好的演技可惜了
