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.
一部认真讲故事，关注少数婚姻，家庭，成长的电影。演员的表演自然，整部充满着温情的意大利电影。小男主和配乐都是我的心头好，2022第一部五星。
很有意义，不管是血缘关系还是性向探讨，都十分真诚，更何况是based在真实剧情
热泪盈眶 剧情发展的每一步都是我没想到的 又是一次极好的观影体验 愈发觉得 血缘只是锦上添花的点缀 爱，才是一个人、一个家庭的骨骼和血肉 聚焦点非常好 在同性婚姻合法化下成长起来的第一代青年 用自己的眼睛记录着他们父父爱情… 以及别人眼中的他 或许未来也会有两个母亲的家庭电影（哦，阿莫多瓦全都是） 本来觉得高光时刻已经很密集了 结尾爱的千丝万缕的连接 以及彩蛋（那部纪录片的片尾） 再次将影片升华 在我心中，它一定是有历史地位的
感觉像是下着小雨的傍晚，店家的灯光昏黄，熙熙攘攘。这种氛围写实，舒服，温柔又浪漫。
同性与异性：一样的家庭，一样的麻烦，一样的爱。 （3星半）
适合随便打发一下时间，这种廉价的意大利抓马剧，还是能看的。把奈飞青春片和意大利家庭剧杂糅一下，价值观和主题都与时俱进，同志夫夫开始出轨闹离婚争夺孩子的抚养权了，一出鸡飞狗跳无比热闹的大戏。
很暖心的一部正能量电影 是的 我称它为正能量 这是部讲述二十年同性婚姻 最后一方劈腿 然后双方发疯 互相伤害 争夺他们代孕孩子一个法律认可身份的故事 同性婚姻 代孕 生母 出轨 出柜 这么多的元素杂糅在一部电影里 竟然可以产生如此美妙荒诞甚至有些喜感的化学反应 敬佩编剧的控场能力 这不是顺应社会法律固有两性关系 然后大灌拼搏向上 志存高远的荤腥鸡汤 而是让人认真考虑爱为何物的清新元气 爱产生于两个灵魂彼此相通之时 不受性别约束 爱又消失于两个渐行渐远的灵魂 同样不限于任何性别 我们要欣喜迎接爱的降临 也要坦然面对当爱已成往事 人的关系最是复杂 那只产生于人之间的爱 更是千丝万缕 难以捋清 重要的是 我们依然心中有爱 做一个正直 诚实 有爱心的人
鸡飞狗跳的八点档抓马和平权运动的社会意义之间的奇妙融合
每次有部好电影都格外感动并想多给一星 特殊时期太少有能看的了
歇斯底里的争吵背后其实是扯不断理还乱的带着爱的千丝万缕的思绪。
每一对情侣 都会有曲线起伏的感情 或许归于平淡 依然狗血 但人和人之间总会有千丝万缕的联系 这就是爱带给我们的
普通青春片让基友看了想要男人，这部青春片是让基友看了想要儿子。
反正我是一点也不喜欢出轨，还是两年，还那么理直气壮？哥哥感觉还是喜欢男主的，厕所那段氛围拉满，感觉比妹妹的化学反应明显得多哈哈哈～只谈这一小段故事和血脉亲情的关系，不谈出轨，还是可以3.5星的。
已经不再将平权当作议题 如健听女孩一般的生活气息电影
还是挺有诚意 轻松搞笑又探讨有意义的剧情 当爱消失了我们应该怎么面对呢
太抓马了！狗血撒一地 当作喜剧来看还是有笑出来
异性恋电影同性化或许可以作为电影行业最为轻松的突破口。
PS：先进的意呆利也还在双父的出生证明定义上这么纠结嘛，看来平权之路依然任重道远啊~
还是挺有诚意 轻松搞笑又探讨有意义的剧情 当爱消失了我们应该怎么面对呢
一个特殊背景下关于家庭的故事，不断反转的剧情虽然有其猎奇的一面，但最终回归的是一个普遍的主题——爱和家庭。所谓爱若凡人，无论是传统的还是现代的家庭面对的问题其实没有多少不同。
