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.
拳击手斯图尔特因受伤而结束了他的职业生涯。因为爱情，信奉了上帝，并从一场死亡车祸幸存后，他决定把握生命第二次机会，立志做一名牧师的故事。
看一半赶紧关了，能把这么好的题材拍得这么烂也是导演的本事
暴烈底层拳击手，车祸余生欲回头。
如何在学校里重新变成queen这点根本没有多做讲述，一进去就又顺风顺水就很突兀。完全没有经典青春片的精髓，反正整个一大失所望
本来只想给3星的，但是看到女主在20年后完美的弥补了了自己毕业季的遗憾之处，还是再加一星吧
演技太棒了。
原本以为会穿越到过去，没想到是以大龄身份重返校园。
了解了一段历史，但是电影有点无聊。下次拍成个纪录片试试
极地千年不化的冰山，也冷不过绝望的人性。寒气逼人。
中规中矩的传记电影，这个世界上总有一些人能够把目标坚持到底
开头和中段意外地有很大潜力，但是由于预定了结尾，中段不可避免地出现越来越多混淆的信息——当中段去不了自己想去的地方时，也就只剩自我扭曲削足适履一途了。从这个意义上说，本片的实现对试图传递的信息是个巨大的反讽。无论如何，只看Rebel Wilson推广她挚爱的世纪之交文化获得的乐趣也对得起这两小时了。
人畜无害很俗套没啥野心但也挺轻松的大数据电影，一个问题在于，开头如何造成女主瘫痪的原因似乎没有点明，而这个似乎不是能够直接忽视的动机。不过，看Rebel Wilson都瘦出锁骨了，太扎心了，而我看本片的此刻仍在喝奶茶……
看完是有点想重新念个大学，被两个大学生前后夹击啥的白日梦好像也可以做一做？
这年头有钱人有钱之后都开始洗白自己以前的犯罪行为了，马克也不例外
这个世界足够大，有很大的空间让你去展示自己，be the one。
Narrative is fluent and the performance of the two leading roles are good enough. Still the main issue is about the script. As a documentary movie, clearly it wasn’t realistic enough. When there’s a challenge comes to them, the audience wants to know the whole process of how they dealing with it in such a awful situation not a frame of days number.
可以算是美版的活着吧，只是对于基督教实在是不感冒
青春喜剧三板斧，最大惊喜是……她好瘦啊！以及这里面的年轻人真的能变得更好，希望the rest of the world真的是这样了。
stu和自己，和父亲的和解，以及父亲放弃进一步惩罚自我，还有carmen的理解，以及其他的感情真的很让人动容，可惜在一个讲宗教的片里把相当一部分属于人自己的情感力量归结到了宗教的感化上，即使对于宗教的信仰是出于人本身，还是让我觉得所谓chris沾了人的光。当然，也不妨碍我这几年最有触动感的电影是有mark演神父带来的。
沃尔伯格演神父总感觉那些过去祷告的人会被他骂走……
