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.
男主角出场的时候，当然知道套路，但是镜头扫到他脸上的时候，我还是发出了银铃般的笑声。这片子，开玩笑，一点也不差好嘛，我看得好高兴，很多设计编排竟然神奇的化解了那些俗套带来的感受，而且我不得不说男主对这片子是有功劳的，喜欢。
可又到holiday season了 看啥都是cliche的节日味
轻喜剧，开头还蛮可爱的，后面就拖沓和夸张起来了。强行 love actually 结尾。
可以理解好莱坞为亚裔做出的努力，但咱真的有必要在提起北京前男友后接一句怹房事棒棒么？
看到一半基本就能猜到结尾，但依然会为了结尾鼓掌。虽然故事老套，且不太真实，但我就是喜欢这部电影能让我在这个冬天感受到一丝温暖。
还不错，挺有趣的，不过这个男主感觉更适合那种讲话刻薄的角色。最近这些亚裔脱口秀演员都拍起电影来了嘛，包括国内的脱口秀演员，也混得很不错。
好。chick movie好久不見。對比之下亞洲人的頭圍真的要比歐美人大好多啊！
圣诞电影啥时候能get over love actually 🙏🏻
真的太可爱了… 但是怎么十一月就开始过圣诞了，周末晚上看完一阵恍惚感觉马上就要放假新年了😂😂😂
Jingyang made it, finally!
典型的节日电影，就过渡一下时间吧，里面有首歌挺好听
不得不说这真的是部无比烂俗的烂片，开篇就知道结局，只希望结局他们两个不要接吻，可惜事与愿违。剧情也十分不理解，为什么是女主站出来解释一切，明明被骗的是她，完事男主居然逃跑，真是无语。好久没有下载电影静下心来看，我的女神 全程每一帧都无比漂亮， 还是那么完美。
虽然故事一般 ，但道理还是一样得，幸福得生活不要欺骗她
杜波夫小姐姐也老了……jimmy欧阳的演技还挺不错的
奈塔丽对猕猴桃过敏的时候，在酒吧唱歌那段真的笑死，表现狂魔表哥欧文也超级搞笑😅😅😅
三观很正的现代喜剧，攀岩hiking做蜡烛，导演仿佛在偷窥我的生活。爱情果然要从友情开始！
so typical cheesy Hollywood christmas movie………
烂尾 但是立意还蛮不错的 照片catfish 和假装自己喜欢什么什么 等等 到底有什么区别呢? 其实仔细一想区别也还是蛮大的...大多数人都以貌取人 不会很在乎其他这些吧.....而且更重要的是一个人长什么样和身份是密切联系在一起的 身份证啊什么的都需要有照片 但从没有人写自己喜欢什么 这样一想 甚至连学历啊工作啊收入啊和一个人长什么样相比 好像都显得微不足道.....
连续三年观看圣诞档电影后发现最近的爱情片都是亚裔男主角
哈哈 我喜欢这样的好莱坞政治正确。亚洲男终于配了白女。这样的圣诞爱情喜剧谁不爱看！网飞第一也不是白拿的。居然还有一个月就又圣诞了啊！
