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.
其实片名是一句话的一部分
一堆梗的整合，但至少能看。不像有的片子，一言难尽。
私心的年度华语最佳。我从看到大家一起聊索菲亚罗兰开始就泪流不止，没道理的那种，在单身又无儿无女的中年男人面前，爱情的神话一半在现实、一半在想象，一半在天上、一半在地下，一半在回头望，一半在朋友圈。
虽然事前没有了解，看到中间就知道一定是女性导演拍摄的。男人拍不出这样立体的女性。
真不愧是2021年国产最佳。
3.女导演的反击引起思考：女人这辈子没有…是不完整的，我只不过犯了一个天下男人都会犯的错（男人出轨和女人出轨的不同后果确实是现状），男生能不能化妆（都是性别刻板印象）。画廊吐槽男导演拍戏很精辟，多元化也体现在一个人会有很多面。
8 女导演多好，能拍出女性的可爱。老早关注她的微博和公众号，会看到不少自嘲的梗，小资和精致在最后无聊的思悼观影会上消解了大半，传护手霜那段我太喜欢了哈哈哈。感觉音乐很一般，没跟上剧作。
好看啊，文青最喜欢的那一卦，灵，有腔调。几个细节：
本来就是个看起来很舒服的中老年爱情轻喜剧，非要学别人上什么女性意识觉醒的价值。所谓的女性意识就是两句对话剧的表面批判，就是雌竟的女人们最终成为了朋友，就是独立帅气的女孩子喜欢上阴柔气息的男孩子，对不起，我们看不上那种妈宝幼稚男。
好几处都笑出来了。确实有点伍迪艾伦的意思，爱一座城就给它拍一个电影。祝无双仍然好漂亮呀～～～马伊琍的小虎牙好软萌。艺辉国际学校红拂杂货店，哈哈哈这些名字起的。白鸽化妆那个让我想到第一次去上海，在淮海路无印良品逛，两个初中男生在讨论彩妆技法，本糙汉不懂却大为震撼！
因为小贾去看的，结果很惊喜的电影。台词有趣，又颇具温情。比心倪虹洁姐姐！（顺便小贾弟弟演的美妆达人敲可爱，支持男孩子化妆）想做一只快乐的野猫。
非常符合豆瓣气质的上海风情味十足的市井文艺中年们的一地鸡毛和男欢女爱。
处处可见导演小心思 艺辉学校 红拂 夜奔
往往能更加客观的看待如今的上海

又相信爱情了（bushi）
其实这片子要是变得更有趣的话，完全可以让主角们一室喝一夜酒聊一宿天，更为放肆地讨论爱情婚姻男女那些事，到底有没有爱情神话呢，也说不准。
今年院线片里比较令人感到惊喜的一部。坚固的东西都烟消云散了，但并非所有东西都消失了，那些琐碎的、已逝的甚至混乱的难道不是真实存在的吗？确实是中产趣味，但亦假亦真的那一笔有举重若轻的神韵
真的是有独特气质了，有点喜欢，像是某种话唠片的本土化变体，很好笑底色又没那么丧。戏里戏外都在询问你愿不愿意相信这个爱情神话，简单的小美好了。好喜欢这几个演员啊～
又现实，又浪漫，又幽默，又感动。
