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.
【2022/01/06 @ 韩剧tv】 为李阵郁看的 韩国版真爱至上
But not everything can be forgotten
什么，真爱至上韩国版？
2022年7月2日观看。翻译的问题，字幕有点乱。开场的那个做出来的长镜头有点新意。血腥、情色都毫不掩饰，乌克兰的电影不少都很残酷。
讲的是一个混混的一生，从小被欺负，长大了欺负别人，还有仇必报，最后落得失去家人和朋友，也没有钱的下场，开始反思这样的生活为了什么，最后无路可去，放弃人生。
开场那个伪长镜头太有水准了，全方面将人的注意力给套住。
虽然题材不错
太原话贯穿始终，就像每天流窜街巷听到的一句句，一声声，格外亲切，好像闻到烟火气，邻里邻居不见外
…真爱至上的无敌粗制滥造版 演员都蛮好的 就是线太多 太潦草了
然后主演有一点点诈骗嫌疑
弟弟和姐姐才是真的好
可惜了这么多演员，谁能想到这是假如爱有天意的导演导出来的呢。
最后两个夏天，一个躺在水上，一个回头看过去，但她内心还是迷茫
【平遥电影节展映】世界首映。阿兹海默症题材。讨论了“病人的尊严和死亡的尊严”的严肃命题。医院急救室外的长镜头唤起我曾经在医院的见闻，真实而残酷。虚实莫辨的拍球男孩是很有灵气的点睛之笔。可惜缺点同样很多。饰演母亲的演员表演用力过猛，不如父亲演员表演自然。年轻演员仍有很大进步空间。前半部剪辑转场较为生硬，婚礼、浴室、公园等桥段有明显的刻意感。克制与煽情并存。结尾意味不明。以及，与《小事儿》不约而同地，回忆中的高中教室墙上又出现了“核心价值观”。
新年快乐，元旦就是需要这样没营养但开胃的小菜。
关于父母的衰老和死亡，做儿女的可能在那一天来临之前都只是当做一个遥不可及的目标。非常好的现实主义题材，值得所有的中国家庭都看一看。
最喜欢有点精神性的部分，比如小男孩和球 比如公园里与其他人格格不入的一家三口及手风琴 比如老屋院子里死后的世界。最后一幕我的理解是 要如何再走出房间面对现实呢
在清醒时准备好寿衣，在孤独时选择速食爱情，老人家的爱是一同归西，青年间的情是肉体缠绵。本片长镜头极尽写实，但在情感深度和人物塑造上却没有沾到光，矛盾冲突平面化，表演诉求更高。当然全片最大的败笔在最后5分钟，闹鬼一般惊悚的场面实在没必要拿来表现思亲之情。
好久没看这类型的电影了，很多泪点，很多触动，又翻起来从小到大内心里对父母的依恋，害怕经历人生无常，害怕经历爱离别，害怕无法让父母满足幸福，害怕对父母留有遗憾未能表达出的爱。。。。太多太多了
想表达的都很生硬的收到了；导演为什么能把每一场感情戏拍得如此尴尬出戏😂 不懂为什么照顾亲爹上厕所全家要这么用力哭这么夸张 应该是慌张忙乱到没空流露情绪的状态
