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.
每个人都是奇迹的创造者，前提是有能力和足够幸运。
你想要自身自由吗？冒的险是自己最珍视的东西。但失去了你就要自由没用了。你想要别人的自由吗？代价是自己的全部。你没了，自由还在。取平衡是不纯粹的，也即是浑浊的，但不一定是逃避的，也许是相当积极的。
真正的“犬之力”不是被父权阉割而是会阉割父权的男人。
虽然知道是个主旋律片，但还是常为主角揪心。而且我们心里都知道，现实中主角如果一直保持这样正直和朴实，几乎不可能有出头之日。
这人生啊，其实一直都很痛苦的，结局，大概是几世都修不来的福报。
不用太较真的态度去看，就当给自己打打鸡血。如果你觉得你从头哭到尾，那一定是电影🎬太煽情了，权当洗眼睛👀吧～
虽然不能理解没钱交房租为什么能有钱直接开个厂，但不妨碍我哭成狗…
那貌似伟光正的结局，又用beyond
奇迹只存在于中宣部的电影里，而不是现实生活中。
残酷又温暖的一个故事。电影前面是现实，结局是奇迹。
看了让人想上班赚钱的电影哈哈哈 很适合春节看
真的很好看的一部影片！全程无尿点！有泪也有笑！有苦有甜！就是我们身边很多人的模样似的，被搬上了大荧幕！每个人的演技都在线！
灵啊，太灵了易烊千玺 看完真的缓解了我一天的坏心情 不顺心的事真的太多了 祝大家都好景常在
一个整天劳苦挣钱的哥哥被杀了.....
顶层连一点定金都不肯给，底层就得赌上全部身家拼死拼活。坐在车里diss男主说你就是好高骛远的打工仔的精英人士，就是tmd何不食肉糜。
满足了观众的窥私欲、解读欲和掌控欲。情节设计化繁至简，分镜组织面面俱到，导演陷入了编织谜网的执念中，乌云掀开的一刻，光早已不知踪影。
越往后越不太行，虽然从第一秒我就应该知道这是一个成功学鸡汤故事，可当我发现它真就是一个成功学鸡汤的时候，多少还是有点失望。
奇迹好看！
不太喜欢结尾成功那段，小资本家依附大资本家的感觉，我是真不喜欢强行对别人感恩戴德。景浩妈妈看着俩孩子，说的那句，我也不想走啊，真给我弄哭了
