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.
略长 还算是很轻松的把这个题材展示了出来 印度电影真是一次次的刷新我对这个国家的认知
还挺不错的 印度在印度电影里都变的干净多了
20220125@周二晚票价十八块，几乎包场，字幕走完清洁阿姨才走进来还问我就你一个人？错过免费场，还好最终没错过。好看，撑大粤区好电影给配乐和他妈加一星，原音方言版当然。
领养领养领养!通讯录不会改变人的价值观哈哈
就冲着最后父母的接受和理解 这电影我觉得还不错 母亲和他相拥的时候的大哭 感觉是心疼他的委屈和妥协
之前对潮汕的印象只有潮汕牛肉丸/奶奶好好玩儿/真的是纯方言，普通话对白都没有二十句，完全听不懂，全靠看字幕
上礼拜休假后从顺德回来，很多朋友问我到底是顺德好吃、还是潮汕好吃？我不假思索地说潮汕。我喜欢那里，所以我觉得那里什么都好。这部电影的取景应该是在汕头的南澳岛。事业有成的泽凯决定带女友回家，外省人和离异的身份 很难让守旧的母亲接纳，没有强烈的戏剧冲突 一切都很自然流畅，就像隔壁邻居家发生的事。全程无小窗地看完，前半部分拍得温馨又真实 有几处甚至忍不住笑出声，电影中的妈妈不是专业演员 但是却把潮汕妈妈的保守与贤淑原汁原味地保留。深圳城市与汕头乡间、科技发展与习俗传承、爱情与家庭，既有冲突又互相融合。看到泽凯拿出写着「潮汕方言三甲测试杭州卷」的时候，不由得想起很多很多年前 小乖教我说汕头话，我在电话这头像小孩一样咿呀学语，一切就好像是在昨天，但是像那样无话不谈的日子 之后再也没有了，只是那时我还不知道。
印度拍出这么可爱又直接的lgbt片
我已经预想印度全国都飘彩虹旗了我国还挂wb图
哈哈哈哈哈，奶奶简直是个活宝，笑不活了。笑点的打磨比前一部更用心更密集了。跟前一部没有必然联系，完全是另一个故事了。镜头摄影也比前一部更精致了。有个镜头印象深刻，阳光透过云层洒在远处的山上，近景的海浪一波接一波，就像人生，免不了许多波澜。这一部情感处理更加细腻，婆媳关系从陌生到熟悉再到陡然激化，层次更加分明。家人之间的疙瘩总是要通过沟通去解开，虽然过程会有艰辛，有一方先示弱，总会有解决办法的。潮汕的习俗，潮汕麻仁的偏见，两代人之间的隔阂，奶奶的开明，不同年龄层不同立场，没有所谓的对错。最后还是熟悉的戏份，男主跑到机场找到女主，意外的是没有挽留，女主也没有回头。最终还是he，开心～加一星支持潮汕电影，加油！
矛盾聚焦点放在潮汕人的婚姻观念上，故事非常完整，起承转围绕“外省人”与“离过婚”的身份冲突，并适当埋下伏笔，让关系得到顺畅而合情理的转变。
就是感觉和是枝裕和那种细水长流的很不一样，有种九十年代那种苦情家庭剧的感觉。但好在很真诚，叙事虽然没有大起伏，但也还算流畅舒适。
硕士学历七八层楼那么高，可惜离过婚；
妈妈的角色从头到尾都非常真实自然。影片有很多有趣的梗（撞车后吵架发现对方是老乡，于是和解）和巧妙的处理（儿子情感受挫后发型变化展示人物内心的大波动），感觉导演很善于捕捉生活的细节。
有很多粗糙的地方，但潮汕风情展现得不错基本能盖住缺点。妈妈是全片最最亮眼立体的角色。PS：尊重，但真心不喜欢厌女氛围如此浓重的地方。
亚裔女孩和那个白人男孩选的不错 不然我真分不清楚
印度拍出这么可爱又直接的lgbt片
畢竟這是上帝的選擇
我的年度最佳lgbt影片，没想到是这部印度电影！吹！爆！各种几十年前持续到现在的基&姬圈生活生存状态，各种家庭问题社会现状形婚深柜出柜传宗接代都在影片里用喜剧的形式悲剧的内核表现了出来，结尾男主女主两个出柜片段堪称年度最爱top片段，感同身受到无法言语，明明是印度电影却仿佛在看自己人生的缩影。希望每个人都可以按照自己喜欢的方式去过自己的人生，和自己所爱的人。
