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.
是一部和安静的电影，大部分时间还挺轻松的，只是徒弟当官的部分，现实有凸显了它的苍白。最后当然有另一种安静，一种愿做平凡之人的一种生活态度。这种师徒关系，是养人的。
男主好不容易成为两班，才发现这个体系是以吃人为生的，内心受到的冲击可想而知，而真理可能是：什么理论都不应该成为束缚发展的桎梏，若不对就应该将其打破。
最近看印度片，因为此片的关系。其实，我已经很克制，不太发朋友圈或者跟朋友提现实里那些不公的事情，因为会被他们归结了“负能量”。为什么你不能阳光一些，谈论和分享美好的事情。也许，不想被疏离，不想被他们说：“为什么你总是说一些负面的事情，看难过的电影听悲伤的歌！”于是我学会不再分享，不是我冷血，我依旧关心这些。在莫管他人瓦上霜的环境里，心中保持一团火吧！这确实不是一部令人舒适的电影，我停了好几次，但不得不感叹印度片的商业纯熟，压抑中给你一道光，让你能继续看下去。
《杰伊·比姆》让我想到了美国的《刺杀肯尼迪》和韩国的《辩护人》。这三部电影都和法律相关，感染力极强，影响力极大。我多么希望我们也能拍出、并且能上映这样的电影。
知易行难，值得重复看的电影。2022年看的第一部电影，幸事。
优秀的韩国历史电影，很多重要的命题都抛出来了。可惜都没有真正深入探讨，人物塑造略显模式化，影片风格也经历了几次转变显得形式不够统一。
为底层劳动人民发声，为敢于直面黑暗，揭露罪恶的人点赞！
虽然有浓浓的三哥电影特有的歌舞味 但这剧情背后的真人真厉害啊
完全没想到这是一个关于马克思主义者的故事，影片开头，丈夫这个角色当了半个小时的“伪男主”，让我一度以为这会是类似《肖申克的救赎》那种为自己洗白冤屈的走向，后面又发现律师才是真男主。确实，在那种社会环境下，最底层的人怎么可能有机会当主角？有些人会觉得这个片子过于个人英雄主义，这个片也确实有一些过于煽情的地方，能看出一些很商业化的套路，但整体立意还是非常棒的，节奏也不闷，片子虽长，但让人想一口气看完。
以为是艺术片，没想到韩影/这位导演打造商业片的能力是真强，遗憾也明显。一方面这种黑白形式/思想碰撞主题的电影观看上能“低门槛”，对普通观众观影来说是轻松的；但另一方面它是缺乏“个性”的：规矩的镜头，直给的人物塑造，黑白的形式感大过与内容的契合感，所以彩色的点尽管导演很用力，也没有点睛内味儿（星空下那里有一点）。但绝对是好电影。尤其是国内大环境对韩国态度极端又复杂时，韩影带来这样的电影，是态度，是思考，是抛砖引玉，又何尝不是耳光呢？
总体还是拍的偏“好看”了。
它是真实事件改编，我为这份真实而感动。但是对于印度真正的底层人民而言有多少人能看到这部电影，有多少人能因此改变。这更像是顶层人民的自我夸耀，希望能多做些实事吧
题材本身的社会属性远远大于电影本身，能有强大的社会思考，但是于电影而言，只是一部成步堂龙一的逆转爽片
开始以为是圣人贞德，后来开始舌尖上的黑山➕编舟记，甚至变成了鸡血日韩职场剧既视感，这个士大夫精神内核看起来东方西方传统现代宗教民生啥都想说一点，说出来又像是喊口号。
我就差不多知道真相是什么了
真实依托民主制度（哪怕是像印度这样在一些人眼中如此“”劣质“）和独立的司法压倒了电影技艺。
3.这种电影看的真的难受，因为电影里的问题是真实存在并且还将一直存在.
主要是剧本扎实
彩色的星空，海胆里的雏鸟
因为曾经看见过在黑暗中闪闪发光的人，所以总不免带着一点天真的想法，觉得或许陆地还有希望。
