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.
四星有两星都是感情分。前一个小时那叫一个剪得乱和着急，但是让人又哭又笑也是少有的本事。I hope you will be as happy as our cruel world allows. 👏🏼
关于创作焦虑的部分还是拍的挺准的，但整体还是太平庸了。
一百一十年前，1912年，唐顿的继承人和泰坦尼克号一起沉没了，故事由此展开。
用音乐剧讲述音乐剧people创作音乐剧的故事，音乐剧people真是太……算了不说了，多说多错得罪人。
老夫人的少女岁月南法线和唐顿拍电影《雨中曲》的有声电影萌发线无缝融合～男仆的故事被一剪梅～马修你还不回来大小姐要被休丹西撬走了喂～唐顿好美大家好可爱❤️
一场婚礼开始 一场葬礼结束 老夫人的时代结束了 Mary的时代开始了 唐顿还会有下一部吗？ 还是不要了吧 不想让他们进入那个黑暗的战争年代了
因为对主人公和他的音乐剧都不了解，前面看起来还是有的不知所云，到影片后半段才渐入佳境，里面的歌曲是真好听。
最大问题是没有拍出这个人物的特殊性和独特魅力，反而拍的更像一个纯虚构的励志故事，这是最大的遗憾。
浪漫治愈的贵族童话，在疫情肆虐的当下确实需要这么一部电影来抚慰大家的心灵
在30岁生日前夕看这片再适合不过了！临近三十岁仍旧碌碌无为的我，是否也该努力创作，实现梦想呢？用歌唱出生活，满注活力，情真动听。看来我还是不适合看这种纯歌舞片，剧情平淡到爆炸，丝毫看不到人物的闪光点和动人之处，若非加菲灵气可爱的演绎，这片的看点会大打折扣。Alexandra Shipp美到360°无死角！！！快看完才知道原来Jonathan Larson便是大名鼎鼎的《吉屋出租》创作者，看完才知道导演原来是林漫威！全程没认出Vanessa Hudgens。
片子看着很过瘾，音乐都很有力，词儿特别到位，好朋友迈可那段看得眼泪汪汪。加菲演的好卖力！后来一搜发现，Jonathan Larson得了个怪病英年早逝，可惜！
音乐剧的流畅被碎片化的倒叙打乱 感觉既享受不到叙事的节奏也享受不到音乐的快乐
“时间从来不能阻挡梦想的脚步，正是因为无法轻易触及，才能令人为之疯狂”。tick, tick…Boom!
因为是真实故事加一星，而且我还真的看过吉屋出售的音乐剧。整体是音乐剧形式的演出。
三星半。剧作的部分不错，是我喜欢的一种结构，也是我去年琢磨最多的一种写法，依赖于形式感，这个剧本更显得完美，细节的衔接很好，这样显得剪辑也很自然。尽管最主要的内容感觉还是歌舞片类型老生常谈的内容，但确实做到了一种成熟的处女作扎实和轻盈兼具的气质。加菲的表演没有能够走出以前遗留下来的影子，舞台上的部分仍然和《天使在美国》那套戏一样，不过歌舞的部分他的肢体还是很好看的。
就为了老太太看个热闹，真是圆满的人生，临走还有人送南法别墅，“我像是会拒绝一套南法别墅的人吗？”哈哈哈哈哈哈
里面选的歌其实还可以吧。总的来说是值得看的吧。
三星半。理想主义拖延症患者是如何逼疯自己在deadline前交作业的，这个我可太知道！天才第九十九次努力。唉，加菲总是只能让人停留在小伙不错的表演，就总差口气～很多歌还挺有意思的，但说不上打动人～
我不理解为什么一个美国人有这么严重的30岁年龄焦虑。明明有朋友关心，有业内大佬赏识，打零工就能住得起这么大的公寓（也并没觉得这公寓有什么不好）。加菲是一类我get不到魅力的演员，演天才艺术家的角色更没有说服力，全程无数次想狂扇他。结尾处原型本人的录影带都要更动人许多
神奇的音乐剧，热血的音乐人。原来成功在“下一次”。
