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.
前面的剪辑一度难进入，后面渐入佳境，最喜欢的几幕是泳池的音谱和天台的想象。好像一只蜡烛啊，尽管短暂但拼命燃烧，发光发热。如果这样活过的话，也足够精彩了吧。
这种形式的musical还挺想看现场的呢 加菲唱功一般般容易出戏 音乐剧改编电影总归有点尴尬 老实说感觉音乐也一般 只是因为是和本人经历有联系所以觉得歌的内容不错
开始觉得诶，音乐挺好听的，后来诶，那个女主长得挺像吉克隽逸，至于音乐剧其实是挺不容易有所感冒的，但不知为何看完最后一个音落竟然莫名有些感动。谁知道呢
标准到没什么意思的电影，太过四平八稳，一切都对，都正确，但各方面都不出彩，尤其是有那么多珠玉在前的情况下。加菲最好的表演还是在《沉默》和《银湖之底》，却没获得肯定。不过鉴于今年连《玉面情魔》都能bp提名，这部的观感至少没有那么糟糕。
蛮有意思，用了音乐剧，电影，MV穿插形式，让我觉得很有新意。那个sunday的片段很有意思，“一群傻子应该在周日上午在家里，非要在这个铝合金材质的餐厅里花钱喝冷的合成果汁和微波炉贝果”，笑4
有点难代入，Jon本身的经历比较令人唏嘘。
把任何困難都盡全力去樂觀，永遠積極的人，觀眾看著總會覺得他在天才和傻屌之間徘徊，黎明前的黑暗果然就是最黑的，咬牙拼了。故事背後的故事，令人心疼。
表演很好 曲子很好 主题也很好 遭不住实在水土不服 从舞台搬到镜头前不代表可以罔顾电影逻辑 林漫威别拍电影了还是
错过，放弃，丢失，他像是Rent里所有角色的和，一无所获却也应有尽有。
太爱这部电影了，加菲我是夸累了。
Jonathan Larson与《Superbia》。在29岁零9个月时看了这部电影。主创们对艺术的热爱是可以直击灵魂的，热烈而深沉，顺理成章，我的情绪就被牢牢的攥在了tick tick的时针嘀嗒声中。
加菲真的有才，从战争片硬汉到穿梭市井的超英，再到为梦想的癫狂音乐剧作者都能驾驭。重重叠叠的阿卡贝拉加适时切入的其他乐器真的很爽。“剧作家就是要一部接着一部写作品，希望能有所回应。继续创作吧，孩子，写你熟悉的东西。”

就还好吧，大部分歌都有点平，故事也不够出彩，现在的传记片都不知道拍谁能拍出新意了。。（有点觉得加菲演不了30岁的人了😭
不喜欢，别营销最佳歌舞片了，故事很无聊很烂，到后半段才渐入佳境了一丢丢…爱乐之城可以甩这个电影九条街。
over and over
音乐密集到完全淡化了Jon的创作困境 女友和朋友完全是工具人的存在 并不能通过电影共情 （除了吵架那段是真的很上头 失去了对人物内里的挖掘 过多的曲目堆砌其实意义并不大...但加菲的表演还是很精彩！
7.5分。原本以为既然是介绍Jonathan Larson，那就应该介绍他创作《吉屋出租》，并且在公演前不就骤然离世的故事。没想到电影并没有选择这段，而是直接用了他自传性质的剧本直接改编。好的地方在于真情真性，加菲扮演这样一个略有神经质的角色还是挺搭的，坏处就是整个故事你刻意随便放在任何一个落魄追梦人的身上，并没有太多的独创性。整体而言我还是挺喜欢的，主要还是歌曲的关系吧，尽管口水，但还是很对我胃口啊~~~
片尾音乐好听。电影不好看。虽然知道是基于艺术界的真人真事，自己对耳边充斥着ticktick声音的感受感触也很深，但是我还是过于厌倦于看这些现实和梦想的冲突的电影了。女方想为了男主差点放弃工作的时候让我有一丝丝不适，不过还好最终还是选择了自己的事业。
近期处于对加菲的少年感重新上头的时期 看什么都不重要...
