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.
前半段的抗争成色，在类型片范畴里可圈可点，节奏把控也凌厉。但是，从司法部长女儿一番所谓同理心表达、以及黑白混血女的“真情流露”，这种老套的政zhi正确和道德正确植入，让整个片子立即坠入烂尾深渊。
7.1，真实事件改编，但南非还是那个南非。
我该这么去了解同性恋了，这个电影算是解决了我的一个困惑，为什么同性恋的男生知道自己喜欢男生的前提下还要去跟女生结婚生子，因为他们想让自己正常，想要拥有家人。但是这对于女生来说不就是妥妥的欺骗嘛
各方面都发挥出色的电影。意外地没有人说这是白左的胜利 2022/5/4大森家
同学们的议论 学校组织的讨论
还有三浦同学表彰大会上抢话筒告白这件事真的很中二热血日漫了😂
居家的日子太适合看日本电影了 简简单单让人莫名平静 这部剧情有些超乎常理的电影居然看得有几分热血 关乎少年该如何面对真实的自己
電影其實很簡單，情緒也給予的很到位。但是缺少了這種困境式動作的緊張感，而且角色的成長其實都很突如其來，我不知道這部電影用了多少成本，但其有限的呈現方式，確實看得出電影再處理事件方式上很省略。
米国严重的赤裸的种族歧视，深度唤醒有色人种内心深处的对自由的向往，对人权的向往。偏执己见的往往是那些自恃清高手握生杀大权的人。
自由的代价是什么？
7.1，真实事件改编，但南非还是那个南非。
没有断在中间！后面有好好讨论和用心感受男主的心理和感受。男同学质问男主好友你今天不也没摸他鸡鸡嘛你不也在知情后改变了怎么对他嘛 说得好在理。演得不好的是男主在病床上的自白 演得没感情啊。（其实应该四星但是从头到尾好几次笑出来和甜甜的女孩子都很喜欢）
遗憾挺大的，张力十足的故事，过程却表现的有点平淡，甚至那段种族对立的历史背景也被几个充满博爱的白人角色所淡化，直接模糊了劫持者的面目，这样的影片真的好吗？
想起小时候看的小人书《斯库台三英雄》。不过，部长女儿主动宣誓入伙，被莫名其妙击毙……后来假白女摘头套与劫持者拥抱……这些情节实在用力过猛、煽情过度了，逻辑不能自洽，我不相信这是真的。
总体还行，在商业属性达标的基础上，也完成了政治诉求，一些细节的设计够用心，但作曲水平过于低下，高潮片段配乐劣质且不符合基调，强行拉低观感，6.5。
故事挺套路化的，顺带了解了一下真实事件，过于“正确”，原创部分较多。
我爱男生？还是女生？
