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.
无脑爽片，看得爽就是硬道理！虽然文戏尬出天，但连番恶斗还是蛮有趣能kill time的。三星半
不管是深埋在地下多年的先祖，还是包裹在襁褓中的婴孩，都需要寻求自己真实身份的认同。阿莫多瓦这次讲述了一个大伦理层面嵌套着小伦理的故事。
对于阿莫多瓦影片不可缺少的“红色”主题，赞颂伟大的母爱的同时，这部影片还有一个比较关键的时刻来回出现的“绿色”，是一种万物生命的重生，阿莫多瓦把母亲这个女性角色与历史话题挂上了一层话题色彩
啊这，妇产科风波这个故事也太烂俗了吧，是不是有历史隐喻在里面我没看出来？整体来说查了点意思，对乱葬岗的发掘其实和故事本身好像没什么太大关系，槽点太多了一些，戏剧性感觉有些牵强，有些生拼硬凑，作为阿莫多瓦的片，感觉不算合格
7 两名年龄差距甚大的母亲，因为抱错小孩产生的纠葛其实也是为了引出历史问题，反思当代西班牙年轻人对历史的知之甚少，讽刺政府。整体结构头重脚轻，也可能题材过于敏感，再次称赞阿莫多瓦的色彩美学，极度舒适。
Penélope真的太美了，美到一切发生在她身上的故事都带着滤镜
又见人傻钱多大数据。赶在高司令变成大亩灵之前，看一下这个Netflix大数据电影，没有故事，只有动作戏，动作场面真的是烧了钱的，拿来打发时间还不错，比他家那些大数据烂片强一丢丢。导演：别骂了，兄弟们就是来挣点快钱。
关于历史反思和伦理关系，两个主题的融合有点强硬，故事非常奇情
7｜too much to put in one film…..
真的不明白，Netflix一次次花巨款拍这些东施效颦没有灵魂玩意到底是谁最后这么坚持，罗素兄弟这个钱是不是太好赚了点
西班牙，追问历史，人民的记忆，女性，分娩，艾玛。
无论是私人感情还是家国历史，阿莫多瓦这次都没打动我。
看这死胖子的电影很多年，从少年到大叔，从少年时代似懂非懂大受震撼；到大叔喝酒看片，边看边骂，乃至多喝了三五碗，最后仍是给了高分。
两条线呼应度不够，为佩佩短暂的搞姬生涯加一星😉
母亲的特殊情感和意外交联，未婚母亲的困局。
有惊喜有失望：阿莫多瓦谈政治，果不其然又是掺杂一篇狗血故事来讲的，不比一些谙熟于传递政治意识的导演，阿莫多瓦还没能完全参透其中奥秘，整体表达显得有些青涩；“平行”这一主题自始至终贯穿影片，非常有设计感的时空线交织脉络清晰，转场鲜明，国家历史和骨肉情爱两条线彼此并无过多交集，女性依旧是其中的不变的母题：是生生不息的见证者与崇高精神的继承者，在影片中多次予以赞誉；聚焦西班牙内战与独裁：长枪党与社会党，报错的孩子与错付的信仰，错误无法被纠正，逝者亦难以重生，好在影片给予希望：历史终究没有被遗忘，尘封的乱坟重见天日，纪念仪式完成了一场神圣的精神过渡，从安息于此的祖先到襁褓之中的孩童，个中纽带便是母性。
这种电影就是单看一部不会觉得特别惊艳 但折服于导演持续不断旺盛稳定的创作力和西班牙配色
不知道是不是期望太高了，所以有些失望。。一直觉得阿莫多瓦的风格在当今世界影坛是独树一帜的，可这部电影除了他的风格分，还有潘潘的演技分，居然找不到其他任何的加分项。。故事都很表面且分割，很多碎片拼在一起，女一女二和阿莫多瓦以前电影中的角色比起来都不够丰满。。而且抱错孩子这种故事国内几十年前都拍过很多了，这部除了两女主后来的奇情也没拍出什么让人觉得惊喜的地方。。总之就是失望。。
阿莫多瓦真的懂女人啊。可惜了片子最后拔高的那一下。
与之前作品相比多一份厚重
