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.
主旋律框架下的命题作文，假，空洞。所谓困难根本就是披着困难外衣的恩赐机遇，那么，也就谈不上什么奇迹了。
现实也真现实，理想也真理想。希望我们在现实里能遇见理想。
没有想象中的那么好看，结局美好到有点不接地气，但是电影中普通百姓的互相温暖与成就的美好，还是让人觉得人间值得
1.妹妹完美受害者
#venezia78 主竞赛单元。看本片需要有极大的耐心，因为节奏和紧张程度都不符合对这样的导演和卡司阵容的预期，前半部分丈二和尚摸不着头脑，不知到底要讲什么，中后段渐渐明朗，燃起希望，到了最后，jaw-dropping。简•坎皮恩，还是那个狠角色，这部电影，简直就是一场温柔的杀戮，试问谁敢像简•坎皮恩这样磨刀磨这么长时间，且不闻霍霍？看完只想哇哇大哭，为什么，为什么啊😭 那个年代，终究没有自我救赎，只有自我放逐。卷福饰演1920/30S西部牛仔，一开始我是拒绝的，因为挥之不去的英国背景，无法人戏合一，但结束后，他戏中迄今为止最有深度的表演与戏外几无瑕疵的口碑合体，一股浓浓的悲凉升起。 Kodi Smit-McPhee，比甜茶小半岁，同样拥有一张秀气俊美的脸，眼神却可凶狠太多。
合格的类型片叙事节奏，至于现实，深圳早已不是奇迹之城，片中俯瞰下的白石洲也早已在“俯瞰下”荡然无存。
三星半吧，就结尾在电梯下行的欢呼里刚刚好。小时候听到“来了就是深圳人”是激励，走近看才知道是被吸血
努力是真的会有好结果
喜欢文牧野 一个把寻常故事拼接成奇迹的作者
很假先不说，其他我不敢说，那就这样吧。。。。
最广大最普通最平凡，
出色、热血并且工整，甚至愿意为工整再多打一颗星。我们太知道在国产电影这种鱼龙混杂的环境下把电影拍得丰富又精准有多难。一部成功可能是偶然，两部就是有实力，文导真的很厉害。
平民意识，底层互助社区，类型叙事，这片着实不错
片尾的六年后真的给我整不会了，六年后那个西装革履的人，不就是易烊千玺本人吗，之后观众席上的众人定格出解释，感觉像是写完了作文之后想向老师点明自己的主题：你看这新时代，成就了多少人的梦想。文牧野真的摸到春节档的点了
6/10。有佳句无佳章，互换抽烟的暧昧与角力像《卧虎藏龙》里的竹林打戏。男主的死象征着蛮荒时代的终结，最后他穿着代表现代文明的西装进了棺材。血性西部背景下的东方隐忍，是好角度但并不新鲜，这可能是文化差异造成的。“答非所问已经是答了”，它依旧给了太多，像一道数学题而不像诗。（小男主前途无量啊，他与卷福的比拼才是场犬之力）
文牧野拍的好比较成熟的电影，玩的好套路与深情。看得到小人物的不要命的拼搏，也穿插了诸多的不走运和一些冷漠，全片感情起伏很大，所有人都有美好的结局(没钱了吗？直接放ppt)。
四字弟弟演技真好啊，从《少年的你》延续而来的“人狠话不多”性格真适合他，成了他的影剧粉，多打1🌟给他。电影节奏舒适，点面具到，配角也都很可爱，全片洋溢着年轻和奋斗的深圳气质。偶有尴尬情节比如轮椅老爷子打群架、最后电梯里360度欢呼等稍显刻意。最大败笔是最后弄得好像真人真事改编似的非要人人强安个结局特别扯，就留在合影一幕不好吗？
最后获得了一个成功的机会
最好的還是四字弟弟，他演什麼，都能讓人信服且疼惜。但他一人顯然撐不起整套戲，沒了導演之前擅長的群像，其他人最後都成了好人好事背景板。而弟弟的完美人設也讓故事套了濾鏡一般不真實，只有客觀困境，沒有主觀困境。整個劇情也一舊舊，前後沒有連貫性，這麼樣板的故事，其實可以參考下港產片的。阿郎的故事不香嗎？
非常好看，喜欢文牧野的快速剪辑镜头，信息量非常大，然而交代剧情一丝不乱井井有条。这个片子类人物传记，一开始看完以为是有原型的电影，易烊千玺可以拿影帝了。
