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.
很长的电影 有歌舞部分好像显得轻松一点 看了以后才知道原来别的国家也有像castell(torre humana)这样的文化
还有一个我很不理解的一点，我不明白为什么他们对于一些问题回答直接用那种奇怪的摇头方式…真的太难受了…
要是能够接受一点夸张成分，顺便抛开成见的话，其实还挺好看的。剧情精彩，人物饱满，视觉效果也很好。
总的来说印度狼着实超越国狼。狼们嘴上说着自己最强但说电影里每每都是蝈搞白女，这怎么自信起来哦？印度版本讲殖民在格局上输给了虽远必诛的国狼，但是作为世界的一部分他们讲甘地讲火和水和自然，不过讲真，说中国导演会琢磨出片名的实在是得看看这三个r是怎么出来的，印度版本的自信就是这么随意，只要单词里有r就算是r了，不讲究什么劳什子头压尾压什么的，印度人会跳舞会不会就像中国人会功夫？充满了抖音追求的子弹时间云云，情感戏拉满，意淫真有趣，他山之石可以攻玉，想看看印度的老法师电影了。
超好看。小说改编的。臭名昭著的慕尼黑协议。片尾一批洗白张伯伦的嫌疑。但是节奏真的很不错。二战本来就是一场非必要战争
英国人竟然胆敢找印度人斗舞这一无知举动就奠定了本片的超现实基调。阿兰和毕姆两人竟然还有史诗角色歌，秒回《摩诃婆罗多》，片尾舞蹈可以照搬上春晚。印度人想象力一直可以的。
真的除了元首感觉稍弱之外
印度史诗级超级英雄片，全程高能，无脑又欢乐。两大主演身材都好到爆，两兄弟联手估计可以干翻全宇宙吧。电影刻画的居然还是历史上的人物，吃惊。演技特效非常夸张，但是不影响观赏，饭后娱乐最佳选择。
回顾并反思历史的方式有很多，值得肯定。但强行为张伯伦“立传”的想法和观点并非可取，绥靖协议成了战略机遇期？说难听点，屁股歪了…(5.5/10.0)
可能是语言的问题，看这个不会尴尬，同样的手撕鬼子听说能听懂的话就觉得尴尬，不知道为啥。
2022.01.27. 通过本片可以补一补《慕尼黑协定》和二战前的张伯伦执政历史背景，即使没有争取到和平，《慕尼黑协定》对纳粹德国的妥协至少为英法等国争取到一年的短暂和平和缓冲、若1938年就爆发二战，历史和今天会是什么样大家都无法想象。不过历史本就没有“如果”，正如故事里的Paul von Hartmann，明明有与希特勒独处的机会并可以开枪，但他错过了。卡司上德国演员们竟然全都是大熟脸，略可惜的是《巴比伦柏林》的女主在本片戏份有些少，可见德国影视圈子真是太小了。铁叔、荞麦、Jannis三位男主都非常出色，开心见到黄金配角戏骨Alex Jennings。同样非常出色的摄影、剪辑、服装、美术、甚至Isobel Waller-Bridge的音乐，都为本片大大加分。
不同的角度，edge of the war
Franz本来是狂热的希特勒支持者，当见识到希特勒的邪恶后，从右翼转变成反对派，是出于爱国的目的，当Hugh说带他去伦敦生活，Franz说了一句他绝不会离开德国，致国家民族于危难不顾，这才是真正的爱国主义，而不像某大国权贵们，口口声声说爱国，身体却很诚实，财产子女纷纷转移国外。不过话说回来，Hugh确实太冲动，过早暴露了动机，他完全可以再等等，没必要作出无谓的牺牲。有些评论说本片在帮张伯纶洗白，其实也不至于，考虑当时现实情况，经历过一战国内厌战情绪高涨，军事实力悬殊，绥靖政策确实帮助英法等联盟国争取到不少时间，到最后还是等美国出手，其实说穿了，就是大国之间的利益瓜分，谈妥了，也就解决了。
“We don’t choose the times we live in, the only choice we have is how we respond to it.”
每次我看历史片，都会有新的感受，都会吸纳新的知识，值得观看的原因再加上荞麦的精彩演出，紧张气氛烘托的也很到位。
纪实类影片
他们三个人溺死在牛津和柏林的夜色里，烟雾消散于晚风中。
三哥开挂爽片，视效精美，动作火爆，可能是动不动就跳舞的原因，身材都练的相当不错，内娱得好好学学~7.5
好看的电影和可恶的revisionist history
故事节奏不错，虽然知道历史结果，但对小人物的命运捏着一把汗。
