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.
标准Netflix圣诞电影，虽然老套，但是我喜欢。
Jimmy O Yang不贱了就没那么有意思了
网络时代主题。人跟人打交道迟早都要面对面的，网上人设一般怕吸引不到优秀的人，太好又怕见面后尴尬，多了各种可能性和乌龙，虚拟与现实叠加，一切变得更为复杂。只有一个概念打动了我：做真实的自己，什么都不要怕。
不错的chickflick了，Nina老太快了，哎
虽然是加上了圣诞元素的爆米花电影，但是还是值得看。
说是讨厌love actually 最后还是用了那烂招，电影名化用Die Hard也蛮妙的，外国人真的好喜欢过圣诞！
cute但是抱歉真的看不了jimmy o yang的吻戏lol
实在是过于平庸。我还以为影片最后会有父辈们消失之谜的解释，没想到就只是个摆脱阴影成就自我的鸡汤动画。
hahaha，美女网恋白人帅哥，结果屏幕后的是亚裔极客。一个圣诞节租女友的故事，夹杂假戏真做，兄弟争宠等等等等~男主风趣机智让我想到了郭麒麟哈哈哈。
太俗套了但我对欧阳有滤镜无法客观打分 更何况还有Paxton _(:з」∠)_
ten thousand success是理想型，他俩舒适自然的聊天真的太令人羡慕了。
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.....
3.5 歐陽萬成好可愛 喜歡最後《真愛至上》的部分。
Looking for someone who can see me for who I am 熟悉的美式风格 适合放松
unrealistic，and confusing….
终于有人说了 love actually的确是世界上最难看的圣诞电影
温情欢乐圣诞喜剧。bug肯定太多完全不能细想。总体还是可爱的。
现在的爱情喜剧既不好笑也不煽情，剧情和台词既尴尬又做作还特矫情，真的脚趾抠地，无数次想关掉视频…🤯加一星给亚裔吧（虽然一个亚裔家庭这么喜欢圣诞节有点呃……可能韩国人？不过真没想到不过圣诞节的居然是Tag🤣）Josh这样温柔的男孩子也可以很迷人👏
有正常思维的人给这部电影打五星一定有它自己的原因
欧阳 Jimmy ！ way to go!
