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.
看的时候觉得很惊喜。流畅的长镜头运用让整部影片质感提升，1958年应该还是尚未摆脱戏剧拐杖的第三代导演，可王苹导演中已经成功地“去戏剧化”了，演员表演真实动人，场景还原用心逼真。除了时间过渡上有些突兀，整部影片还是非常值得赞许！
感叹当年的电影工作者在时代条件那么艰苦的环境下依然能生产出那么多经典好片，而现在好片几乎成了凤毛麟角，陪长辈们去看的，他们比我们这辈人更能看懂这部佳作。
资料馆看的4k彩色版，太红。最后的“同志们，永别了”通过电报发出来，悲壮。要求不高，明年一众主旋律片能拍出这片50%水平就算成功。
去看舞剧前终于补完了经典电影版本。孙道临老师的李侠真的非常合适！向那些为我们的新生活付出生命的先辈们致敬！现在看此类电影时总是会忍不住泪如雨下，也许是真的开始成长起来了。
孙道临浓眉大眼高鼻梁还方下巴……有几个镜头想到了留小胡子的谢霆锋。边上都是年纪大点的观众，会直接叫演员名字“王心刚要出来了”，和我爷爷奶奶一个样。
日本人轻而易举抓了李杰，却轻而易举把他当成重庆方面的，轻而易举让故事烂了。
4K彩色修复版真挺震撼，完全可以说是一部新电影。
想不到这么经典的电影讲的故事这样空洞无力。
平河原来有这样的秘密啊，真是没想到，这一幕看似是忏悔，实则更像是一种告别。
从电影里看，他们在上海的工作作用重要吗？
既然有两部，不如拍成8集短剧，每集一小时。
4K修复/黑白转彩色/十七年电影/地下情报人员斗争的故事/李侠扮演者孙道临被捕前给组织传递了渡江战役的情报，而他也出演过渡江战役题材的电影《渡江侦察记》，时间线闭环
剧情紧凑又张弛有度，今天的和平是无数英雄们的努力和牺牲换来的。
平河原来有这样的秘密啊，真是没想到，这一幕看似是忏悔，实则更像是一种告别。
因为喜欢舞剧《永不消逝的电波》，趁着电影节来补上经典的电影原作。剧情很跌宕起伏，紧张节奏把握得极好。尤其是最后李侠成功发出讯息后牺牲的戏，扣人心弦又悲壮感动。
易烊千玺很出彩
历史事件浪漫化处理，太赞了！！徐克牛逼！！
谍战非常刺激跌宕起伏，但是老电影有个通病，就是人物非常扁平化
孙道临好美好美好美好美！！真想穿越回在村头打麦场放电影的时代，一遍一遍看了又看。
不理解，炸桥的方式还是通过手枪击中炸药包而引爆，为何一定要人去往坦克肚子下面钻。强行牺牲 还有就是总部怎么一点儿支援部队都跟不上，敌人的增援部队都到了，我方一人没有，总部认为我方炸桥的部队有多少人？多少装备？ 除了是个爱国题材，让人看了心疼志愿军的困难环境，感受他们的不屈精神，这部影片的作战计划，可谓称得上没读过兵书一般。
