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.
纯粹的情怀之作，但拍的也太温吞水了吧，黑帮片还是少些纯粹为了衬托氛围的文艺范吧。
剧情太慢了。
通过在风雪山上救人，同时也救赎了自己的灵魂。
嗯，其实对于黑帮电影，精品太多，能说出新东西不容易，据说这是《黑道家族》的前篇，由于没看过电视剧，估计理解一般。
其实是 The Moltisantis……HBO是跟motherfucker这个梗过不去了是么？
电影把黑色幽默给削弱了不少。但仍不失为一部很棒的作品。
摄影、色调、服装、道具都不错，演员们肯定没少看黑道家族，哈哈哈哈，模仿得有点重了。
女主很面熟，查過才知道看過她主演的不少片子，只是她老了好多；
西西里家族和小黑哥的战斗 不够狠不够有戏 线索有点儿乱套 勉强看一看
这个剧本有新的亮点。。。。用“现在进行时”去推敲一连串看似不相干的事件。落魄主人公小说家的第一人称+现在进行时+三枚假钞引发出一连串环环相扣的情节。一些悬疑推理想象，对于从小就看柯南，金田一或其他悬疑推理小说我倒觉得没有多大的突出亮点。唯一可以推荐的就是用 “现在进行” 的元素贯穿整个情节~~~~观影的代入感很强，太有特色了！！！
剧情3星， 没啥不好的没啥好的，一开始的慢节奏让人有后续大反转的错觉，导致看完结尾有种“啊 原来只是这样”的感觉。多的一星献给风间！！ 风间一带眼镜不得了！！ 气质这块拿捏死了啊
一股子伊坂幸太郎味，还是状态很一般时候的伊坂，「拍手することで妖精が死なないのなら、俺もちょっと救われるかもしれない。今度どうしようもなくなった時は俺も手を叩くよ。」，这可太像伊坂式乐观主义了。
挺一般的，故事看似衔接但挺无聊的，nanase造型不错
I lost my dad 7years ago
本来以为是雪山救人，结果从雪山上带着一个神志不清的人走下来不过占了全片篇幅的五分之一而已。本身还掉进雪洞里半天才爬出来的女主，从风雪肆虐的山上就这样带着一个腿摔伤了的男人平安回到山脚下，实在有点轻描淡写了。一看是根据文章改编，不是“根据真实事件改编”，似乎让我明白了什么。反正没有那种探险类，绝境救援类电影的惊心动魄就是了。
感觉故事有种“命运弄人”的诙谐感，但张力略显不足，虽则人物间有着千丝万缕的关系，但没有那种令人惊愕的感觉，有点失望，浪费了我喜欢的藤原龙也和土屋太凤
在一众慢节奏的日影中本片算快的，最起码开篇有让人往下看的欲望（我对日影真的很宽容了😅）结局是有点虎头蛇尾，但其实从有人借三万有人还三万开始就能感觉到这三万里应该有文章。风pon确实演技杠杠的，一众来打酱油的实力派女优们也表现不俗，七濑妹子的北陆方言软乎乎的，没有本地人味儿那么冲哈。
还可以的！男主嘲笑秃顶哥们摔一跤，招致杀身之祸
剧情太慢了。
不怎么好看的故事，日本剧情片拍得太长是通病~
