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.

我是安迪的话看完这部电影只会想拥有一个sox
因为老白，我来看了，这次不是毒师，而且数学人，如果是真人真事改编，那么那个年份的美国人邻里关系挺不错的，肯公开的让大家发财，这不是容易做到的事，然后也有亲情的一面，而我们，最终也会老去并退休那天，到那时，我们还可以做什么呢？
“pop-pop”，Chuck, 还有drug dealer
大学生的那条线太假了，其他的都还好，轻喜剧设定，可看。
世界真奇妙。本片改编自杰森·法冈在《赫芬顿邮报》发表的文章 ，讲述了一桩真实故事
妻子内心牵挂的都是丈夫，并在最后说出“他终于可以用他的天赋和别人沟通”。
关于两个巴斯光年各自立场的探讨还有整体质量很不错，但是在煽情方面差点意思。Andy要是看了这他还买什么巴斯光年啊，他肯定买SOX去了
谁能想到这竟然是真人真事改编的。退休老头偶然发现彩票漏洞后与妻子为大家谋福，而另一边，天才高中生却让彩票漏洞成全自己。看完后心中有个疑问:为何中国彩票漏洞还没人发现・_・?

20220710 退休、自我价值自我实现、伴侣、亲子关系
来自一个少女的慌乱青春，相比于成熟女性的美，两种女性的差异克制与奔放，很有意味，有的电影跟着故事看人物，有的电影跟着人物看故事。你会好奇这个满嘴谎话、慌乱、热烈的少女最终情归何处。
看看人家是如何解决晚年危机的
让我想起了去世的爷爷，以前家里抽屉里一叠叠彩票，一本本彩票计算书，可惜生活不是电影，允诺的新房子，也只是自以为会中的彩票奖金，成为了美丽的谎言。
在美国传统美德价值观面前的进步主义平权主义与放任主义教育下的新一代人残存只有自私自利尔虞我诈，红鼻子狠狠扇了华尔街精英一耳光。
我以为是年龄大了所以冷漠了，所以看皮克斯动画没有共鸣，翻了一下评论好像是电影本身没有达到期待的水平
名校那叫自私吗？不自私发财的方法都写在刑法里了。
是真的味同嚼蜡啊。难怪这电影连中文字幕都很难找。因为是真的很无趣。看了一下评论，确实大多数人也是因为主角是老白给好评的居多。
這般極具奉獻精神的人，只有電影里才會出現吧？
理性让我们狭隘 爱让我们自由
