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.
看完总是觉得美国高中真好。。不愧是奈飞出品，非常工整，完整。。这个角度和想法，真的好。。最终为什么大家给不了高分呢。。是不喜欢好学生的中规中矩好作品嘛。。哈哈哈。。
很迪士尼风，但是没有迪士尼青春电影拍的好。
还挺有趣的喜剧 literally a coming of age story
穿露脐装渔网袜的美艳小gay太诱人了，或者是4爱修勾？
还有穿当年梦寐粉色晚礼服跳舞💃的画面哈哈哈
某种程度上也算是成功了……确实拍出了一种20年前的时代内容🤣🤣🤣但是以现在的观念来看真的好达咩
2.但冗長又臭為主
Rebel真励志！瘦了一个人的感觉！！轻松愉悦的小电影～🤗
最后的镜头居然给到爸爸，神奇
2.但冗長又臭為主
滥俗 Netflix再拍这种片子就真要倒闭了
当20年前的价值观和当今社会价值观的碰撞还是一个很有趣的点，但电影并没有怎么去刻画这一部分。
不都说胖子瘦了会好看吗 这个演员怎么感觉变不好看了
剧本硬伤的情况下拍出了千禧年复兴般的chick flick.像极了多年后成为社畜的你在通勤路上的电台中又听到属于自己年代的teen pop的感觉。
很欢快的音乐电影（bushi），威尔森比起偷心女盗里面真的瘦很多了，台词真的很drama，校园欢快题材真的永不过时，亚兹那个god真的会笑cry，抛开小细节算得上一部很成功的爆米花了（6.9/10）
说想看欧美青春片就看到了，虽然不够青春，但是很快乐！
Netflix给了多少钱给这几位姐啊orz
虽然情节真的挺弱智的，大转折几乎都被煽情带过，大反派突然倒戈，有些地方也挺好笑，是不错的爆米花电影，看到结尾竟然还有点泪目？因为现实中如果一个人从17岁昏迷到37岁醒来是一件很可怕很悲剧的事情，但愿能有电影这般美好完满，就好了。虽然但是，这片子比国内的跳舞吧大象好太多太多了，起码开开心心让人看完（微笑脸）。
Fat Amy瘦到前面差点以为是CG 😂 就说网飞怎么可能全片搞特效！？想不到真人瘦身成功了 除了好多正zzq外 再次温馨提醒大家 珍惜自己当下拥有 爱你的人一直在身边 💓 长大吧
很多展开就很扯淡，但扯淡得让人心甘情愿无视掉那些部分，乖乖地被逗笑被感动
