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.
题材涉及电影行业的，一定要慎重，很容易沦为自HIGH。这片子挑了条最难的路，喜剧和悬疑天然是很难混搭的，最后的完成度也确实不高。唯一能够夸奖的是能看出认真了，努力了，剩下只能说才华不够了……
11.13 拍得稀烂，尤其第二幕完全垮塌，悬疑也没多悬疑笑也没多好笑。但是真猛，这哪是隐喻根本就是揭竿而起了。想起了10年前的韩寒，才华也就那么回事儿但是硬着头皮逼逼赖赖：（）内无自由，（）外有真相。本质上其实还是精英主义叙事，爽但是应该警惕。剧本杀电影这个噱头，就像是说奥利奥味的巧克力，不要再蹭了！
4.5🌟从电影预告刚出来我就好期待，看电影上映之后评分真的很不错就更想看了，最近疫情越来越严重了想着赶紧趁电影院关掉之前去看完不然一定遗憾。
说者无意、听者有心，当深入时代背景，在不解与了然的回味中，窥见历史反复拓印的痕迹，一个小小故事便终于闪烁出不可言喻的耐人寻味。
大型民国换装实景密室微恐演绎还原本。怎么样可以认识张本煜并同他困觉？
电影想要表达的东西我感受到了，电影和新闻一样，需要歌颂那些真善美的东西，需要在合理的基础上还原前事情的真相，需要抱着一颗真心，才能出好作品。
两星半。网剧转行电影大通病：节奏和剧情衔接一塌糊涂

最喜欢结尾 记者距离真相一步之遥，伸出手却没有触碰
剧作真的不错，细节感满满，就包括乐山故事版本里离去的白马、刀仙，最后再反转还是我以为是为第二部做准备，另外很多点也感觉有着韩寒、叫兽他们这群人独有搞笑风格，也确实挺好玩。
但第二重反转“骗过了所有人”那里我喜欢，不仅符合此人做事逻辑，而且给人一种忠贞不渝的骑士感。全片最民国的时刻应该是上司托孤（我竟然在那里鼻子酸了）就是很喜欢这些老套的并且不再在现代商业社会里上演的恭宽信敏慧啦（封建。夜莺的形象神奇的没有让我觉得纯粹是个工具，虽然邓家佳那场“我们女人为了唱歌付出代价”的戏说教味太浓。
3.5的小演员民国剧本杀。有的人好点有的人差点。尹正作为男主实在是比较差。
故事看得还比较过瘾。不过有评论说女性视角我不是很同意，不如说是男人角度的宠女视角，有点自恋，但是在一众厌女辱女的国产里竟算是清醒脱俗了。
“我烂片之王，我骄傲，我自豪。”
完全没看过预告，没看过影评，甚至没看过简介来看的电影，没预期倒是意外感觉还可以。
这里存在着沉默、春秋笔法和一套默会的知识
《驴得水》2号。又是那种剧作合格又挺聪明的问题电影(就像一个本质不坏还很会哄人的问题少年），剪辑放不开，展开太慢、表演浮、动作戏假、调度太生硬；迷影情结也不多；而且服装造型布景那种廉价的民国感让人觉得还是在看现代，不知是经费问题，还是有意为之……所谓剧本杀电影的宣传引人反感。女孩追到越南二次灭口可太狠了。最后几张照片应该都有典故，可以搜搜……
牛啊！太他妈牛啦！本来以为撑死一场室内drama结果最后看得百感交集。编剧太懂我的点了，就知道是那句“掐灭火苗的人”，这不是什么年度神作，这个是和流浪地球一样进中国电影历史的作品
这是一部成功的黑色喜剧，欢笑表层下露出严肃的人性反思。在这个提倡情商的年代，呼唤道德的声音愈发少了。影片的当代意识便显得敏锐。
又是这种一拍脑门的剧本，剪辑稀烂，表演看得我如坐针毡。
