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.
泪点低的我一边哗啦啦流泪，一边内心抱怨哪有这么长情的男人，何必编织这样的幻梦给女生。另外，这真的不是暗戳戳在表达女生只能同甘不能共苦么？
看到happy ending有些难过了
只是满足了让他俩组个cp，其它都不太行，拍这电影没什么必要的感觉
前面是很甜 甜到狗粮塞满我嘴
两位北漂一族的爱情故事，以年为单位，从热恋到矛盾争吵，再到分道扬镳。故事很细腻真实，帝都巨大的工作和生活压力下，不再是“过”生活，而是被生活给“过”，爱情的样子还在，但爱情的感觉被迷失了，到最终才明白所有的物质、所有的面子都不是爱情的答案和目标，而陪伴和理解才是。以年为单位的陪伴，看尽人生的一个个奇迹，牵着对方的手走过每一段路，聚沙成塔终成白头偕老。
这就是爱情
像是一个没有结尾的电影，最后的20多分钟反复回忆不知道想表达什么，前面的爱情热恋期20多分钟也是不断地重复重复，一些故事的矛盾又很牵强，就很流水账在拼凑情感。
流于表面的一种爱情方式的呈现，普通且老套。
2022.2.18 随便找网站看的 第2.2万人看过 我为什么要看这部电影？真的是1.5倍看完的 看着看着突然相遇恋爱了（太快了哈哈哈） 结尾的“我想吃火锅了”意思是复合了吗？ 整体来说很一般 但是有一些地方看着挺有共鸣感的 有共鸣是因为我也经历过 其他的看着很无聊很累
及格水平！跨年这种时刻跟喜欢的人看看也是可以的
平平无奇的“平民”爱情故事。
3.5 意外觉得不错，虽然电视剧质感强烈，感受到的气息是真挚的，被触到了
去之前很担心会踩国产爱情片的雷，看完后观感还是非常不错，音乐配得都很到位，某些台词有点棒读。
冲着演员来的。剧情一般，但是演员真的很有CP感啊。
谈恋爱这个事情 别作 别太无私奉献 不要相信你的另一半在一年之内会从小朋友成长为一个大人
“能不能 重来过 回到开始，
3分给女主，男主太老了，再怎么化妆也没有少年感
好甜啊！慕了！❤️年轻人的爱情真好磕，，，，别怪我腹黑，前面剧情齁甜齁甜的，要糖尿病了呀😓！就等着看它剧情怎么反转。
结尾反而比较假了 虽然我喜欢大结局
感觉是为了凑cp现攒的本子，甜的地方是真甜，乱的地方也是真乱，只能感慨一句不谈恋爱啥事儿没有。不过氛围还是蛮适合跨年的，两位主演都不错。
