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.
一个完整但可以预料到的“好看”的故事。开放式的厨房设计成为最吸引我的点，好想有一个自己的小房子，喜欢的装修，摆满厨具，离朋友们很近，做了好吃的送过去。
觉得继母挺自私的，虽然给了女主无私的爱，但是这是建立在她自己想成为一个母亲的心理上，让女主与亲生父亲互相误会对方不要自己了。幸运的是继母所嫁的人都是真心对待女主的，女主也在这种环境下健康快乐长大……
本体的决斗训练是强健体魄 寻回自我的过程 而复制体的训练 是来自爱人与家人的利益控制和投毒阴谋 结局我仍理解为是觉醒的复制体存活 接受自己 理解自己 与自己和解从来就不是难事 难的是屏蔽来自他人的持续不断的精神压迫和负面影响 人生的决斗也从来不是对抗自己 而是对抗有毒的原生家庭和亲密关系 看完跟主角一起崩溃了 极度残忍冷酷的黑色幽默 像只锋利的痒痒挠 让人流着眼泪苦笑
剪辑的镜头和配乐都很有水准，但是这个故事真的太戏剧性了，剧中的台词有几句的重复利用很有感觉。来回利用切换的镜头去讲述该故事把现代和过去的时间串起来讲述，让人通俗易懂。剧中的台词都是有相对的铺垫的，例如妈妈去哪了？爸爸去哪了？后面都是有交代到，故事情节来说还算是圆满的，和电影的题目相得益彰。剧中女主在充满爱的一个环境中成长，其实算是一种对美好人心的愿望吧。现实中的结局可想而知，所以才说电影是生活的剪影吧。
上一季《勿言推理》里主角还在真心发问“为啥婚礼上女儿出嫁要爸爸陪着走，继而交接给丈夫？”这不三个爸爸就都来交接了………永野芽郁真的太好看了～
这都是什么和什么啊
克隆体活下来深刻， 本体活下来更深刻， 导演留个悬念让观众自己猜就更更深了。 深不见底，。
永野芽郁是真美～
这部影片的故事不寻常，或者说是非常小概率事件。给出一种可能性，在一个人的童年，即使被迫离开父母，经历多个家庭生活，依然可以不造成阴影，健康成长。理想化得很难被相信。但是永野芽郁好美，就应该幸福吧？！
挺好！好温馨，好感动！
u1s1，电影前半段的故事实在让人喜爱不来，演技节奏和铺垫都太仓促用力以至于缺乏了让观众感同身受的能力，让人感到的是些狗血奇怪的走向。
十元太美了！呜呜呜呜呜呜果然是生病了可是还是很好哭啊QAAAAQ被爱包围的小孩
这剧情虽然有点离谱但还是温暖啊
看看作品本身，即使母爱并不完美，作为观众的我也会感动于那份“不给孩子添麻烦”的心意；即使父爱并没有那么热烈，我也会在继父笨拙的爱中酸鼻子。
故事有点悬浮，但前后美感很好，有些匠气的鸡汤。某些角色或者动机或者前后妆容都有提升的空间。
当成风景片可能还行？
没想去考虑太多的内涵和意义，从头至尾都在讨厌这个渣男。
莫名其妙的情感，莫名其妙的剧情。（咩真的可爱治愈
看完最大的感想就是日本人大概因为少子化真的很担忧吧。整个剧情槽点很多。基本上还是在歌颂亲情和人性。不过咩真的太美了。。男主（突然忘记叫啥了）有的镜头看起来脸好大（）我记得之前看其他剧还不至于这么饼啊😢。子役好可爱好可爱🤤
