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.
范伟的演技还是非常好的、张涵予也不错但是熟悉的腔调和演技已经没有新意了。整体节奏比较拖沓、剧本缺乏逻辑性。有点抗日神剧的感觉。
氛围有了，感情戏缺失，各种直给的动作戏。没个像样的大反派，张涵予和范伟也无能为力，也不能把火车当反派吧。跟《悬崖之上》半斤八两，比《智取威虎山》差得不是一星半点。5
平平平平平 开头见结尾 所有故事和演员表现都在意料之中 一如既往的张涵予 一直很棒的范伟 毫无新意的故事。
实在不明白，堂堂二战胜利国、抗日战争抵抗了8年（14年）的胜利方、死伤几千万的战争，我们居然这么多年就拍不出一部能让人称道的影视作品，也是很奇怪了。哪怕就是失败方给军国主义借尸还魂的影片都比我们拍的强啊。再就是字幕那段配乐是红警玩多了么……
整体就一般，不功不过的抗日战争电影，有些不知名小演员演技倒是可圈可点，其余都属于正常发挥，范伟老师求求多演点戏，演技太好了
演员没毛病，但叙事显然太过扁平，激昂不足，壮怀略过，即便接近平实，可作为电影，影像的艺术感尚可，叙事明显拖后腿了。
7.5/10.
基本等价于《革命者》2.0，摄影、特效、音效、美术都更好，剧本则更烂。光注重视听塑造了，剧本一盘散沙，叙事节奏非常拖沓。范伟演的在他的水准内，但人设和《长津湖》的胡军太类似。全片一到关键时刻就上演死亡催泪大法，导演的招数少的可怜。
“从前有个老王头，家里招了贼，贼跟老王头说，老王头，老王头，你给我讲一个故事吧，老王头说，我讲你奶奶个腿！”
2021年第23部院线片。7.5/10。
大概是声画升级版的“手撕鬼子”吧，导演不行。
这么熟悉的故事都能拍的这么难代入，到底是因为什么。人物写得扁平，这么厉害的演员都立体不起来。人物不行故事不可能写好，写不好故事何谈情感。类型片不能靠情感引发观众共情，就只剩下2个小时的无尽拖沓。
最最常见的美式恐怖片元素还能拍出新意，直到影片最后一句台词还能让你叫绝
就不明白铁道英雄为什么找了张涵予范伟这样的老戏骨，却搞了这么平平无奇的剧情，说实话这种题材能拍得跟跌宕起伏没什么关系也挺难的。
铁道题材的电影，总归还是要去看看。制作很棒，但故事和人物都太平。同为炸火车的电影，主创完全可以学习一下几十年前南斯拉夫的《瓦尔特保卫萨拉热窝》，把老洪设计成一个瓦尔特那样的神秘人多有意思啊！铁道队在历史上确有其事，津浦铁路的临城站，就是今天京沪铁路的枣庄西站。另外故事虽然发生在鲁南，但为拍摄蒸汽机车还得闯关东去调兵山。搞笑的是，导演还把满铁大调查部拉下水了。明明花了这么多心思，呈现出来的效果却过于浮光掠影，太可惜了。
主要来看范大爷的，没有失望。。只是这景确定不是林海雪原的？。。
摄影是真的美，剧本也是真的烂。人物基本扁平，逻辑硬伤无数。三星给范伟的老王。
I don’t want to be horny anymore. I want to be happy. 谢谢你，A24
我以为在观看一部A24在2022年出品的恐怖片，结果竟然是无比老派的7、80年代砍杀片。凭什么导演会以为一对变态的老头老太太会比迈克尔杰森皮脸弗莱迪更拉风呢，凭他俩敢dolove嘛？
其实还可以，光看演技也还行嘛，在当下时代还要求那么多，比那些低级红的片强得多
