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.
黑人就是血厚，神谕，其实是好运假期，真正的厄运是吃安眠药的时候被金发女人射中，爆头而死
黑人体格真好啊，中弹、跳崖、挨刀、跳楼却依然奋斗在一线，看个乐呵挺有趣，呵呵
紧张奇迹程度还算可以，可到头来黑人无缘无故成为替罪羊，确实没怎么看懂！
有点像模仿希区柯克的味道，但是导演的功力不够；男主角后半段突然暴涨的武力值也严重缺乏说服力
开头拖沓 结尾跳车成功也能理解 但确实有点扯了...中间节奏很好 用胶片拍希腊的景色很好看
就很欧洲啊，国家只有在欧洲才有这么奇葩的电影和故事。
一场因疲劳驾驶引发的一连串事件。白人特工跟个弱鸡似的，而男主不当特工也浪费了，各种反杀乱杀。
我压根就没认出来a妹，这其实是一部007，但是007能拍这么难看我服了，这是我看电影以来看过最烂的一部电影
当代“The Man Who Knew Too Much”。以身体感知适应陌生环境，穆赫兰道式地进入城市/核心，在贝克特式荒诞中成为英雄。美国大使馆办公室《帝国事业：毁灭》。
吓死人啦。紧张刺激的逃亡，看着都疼。破坏城市的人让我想起了HK曱甴。有病啊搞地砖干啥。。。
厄运从男主的疲劳驾驶引发的车祸开始，男主不停地在被追杀中惊恐逃窜，最后总算反追杀成功。男主一脸的惊恐疲惫与懊悔演得真不错，导演也很钟爱地给他许多许多的近景大特写，鼻涕口水汗水尘土啥的满脸都是，演得挺真。又见到了薇姬克里普斯，那位在《魅影缝匠》中跟老裁缝谈恋爱的高个子女演员，那种温暖的气质一直都在。
刚开始男主小黑没啥眼缘，不太喜欢。越大后面越觉得挺厉害，也挺可悲，可怜。一个普通人遭遇不幸事故，还要面对要把自己除掉的集体和组织，真的是够倒霉，够可怜。但是一个普通人面对这样的境遇，潜力也是挺大的，但绝不是主动去做，纯粹被逼出来的。不知道小黑以后要如何面对这样的政府，这样的祖国。
说点啥好呢，现在剧本都这么随意吗？还是我要求太高了。这活脱脱就是一个全世界跟他作对，他又把全世界干翻了的Superman 的故事。
本来冲着坎妹看的，结果戏份很少
大部分时间不知道导演在拍什么。也不知道再说什么，希腊语没字幕，不知所云，主演这身体真的吊，比巨石强森也不差
就离谱，怎么都不死的男主角，还有典型的金发闭眼反派。
「希腊有黑cop」， 「IT侠」； 荒诞感很棒，整件事情真相都混沌一片，没有人信任任何人，🇺🇸佬🇬🇷佬坏得很。
就很欧洲啊，国家只有在欧洲才有这么奇葩的电影和故事。
除结尾部分的高楼跳车非常夸张以外，其余地方都非常写实，主角完美展现出一个局外人陷入危险情况中的处境，各种求助方法，情绪的迸发，思维的缜密，都很真实很符合逻辑，确实很能调动观众情绪继续看下去。
但主角全程几乎没有真正吃过苦头。
