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.
故作高深，也有可能是导演没拍出来，男主选择自尽，然后死不了那里给我的震撼还蛮大的，他好像连选择死亡的自由都没有了
满眼尽是遗憾。
“她变味了 不再是下雨天的草腥”绵长而深刻 太适合一个人看的电影
救了个大命，这前后风格像是两个导演两个故事
本来想随便看部电影就出门去看钓鱼，我1分钟都没有离开过视线，我真的太喜欢了。我喜欢那种从小牵绊的羁绊，我喜欢他们互相写对方并没有看到的信。比查令十字街84号的情书更动人。我喜欢她生了郭萌。我喜欢郭小鲁，展现了男人感情的变化，但是忠诚的一生爱着苏。我喜欢苏那句：他好的时候我不用在。PS 这片子该是高粱怡广告吧
王老朔爷，不觉已经年逾花甲了。几年没出手，重逢还是熟悉的味道。那个阳光灿烂的七零年代有诗有梦的八零年代写的都是京圈大佬们肆意张扬的青春。入学长镜头简直魂穿娄烨的清北大学。慢视快手的设定挺有意思，可惜后半段科技脑洞脱节了，生命再久远也不能比爱更永恒。
近几年的院线片好像都很喜欢从年代陈设里找故事的厚度，不管是音乐、布景、旧世纪的文化和事件。好像不这样做就讲不好故事一样，这一部也是，非要弄这么大跨度的故事，到后半段不知所云，观众只好说“这些都是人物的幻觉”来为文本的漏洞补全。
很非常规的叙事，势必大多数人无法接受，甚至我在看一半的时候也觉得，完全不知道演了些什么，看完后也说不出来这究竟是怎样都一个故事，但就是觉得，有这样的电影其实也不错，漫天都是常规叙事，只看故事讲的好看不好看，真的腻了。这样的探索也是值得肯定的。
前半部分拍得还行，后半部分放飞自我开始无逻辑胡拍了。看的一头雾水，不知所云。
3.王朔这么多年过去还沉浸在那个京圈美梦里，上次听闻他正在创作涉及人类历史命运的宏大作品，现在却中间出现这样一个东西，很难不感失望。
电影最后，王朔把盘旋在我心底多年的那个桥段给用了——“当你垂垂老矣坐在摇椅上，某个清晨或者黄昏, 你发现一个翩翩少年走过你的窗前，那正是我，你多年前的朋友，那个拥有不老之身而始终孑然独行的男人”
前半部分拍得还行，后半部分放飞自我开始无逻辑胡拍了。看的一头雾水，不知所云。
这干细胞的广告做的有点大啊，是为了科普吗，可是最后结局也太梦幻了
看完想吐
王传君后半段总还是药神内味，明明不丑一人😂😂
但事实是并没有，且差很远
很棒的一部片，抛开物质聊精神，就是文艺片的底子。
干细胞宣传片，但依旧不影响是一部感人的爱情片哭的我稀里哗啦的
从头到尾都让人不舒服。王传君扮学生竟然有松坂桃李那味儿了。
烂片就是烂片，再怎么营销洗白也改变不了烂片！王传君你应该感到羞愧！！！
