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.
怎么能有这么细心的团队呈现一部童年电影画册哇，实名羡慕了，不禁想起自己的童年。不管是60年代还是8090年代，都是充满生机勃勃和希望的，踏出的一小步，人类的一大步。
没有豪言壮语，无需腾空出世，以家庭为主线，用孩子的视角，讲述了那个年代平凡航天人为之奋斗的伟大事业
一代人的故事 on May 4th, 2022
俄宣品。忍住把最后冒出来的事了拂衣去的那段亮相删掉，效果估计会更好些。水准一般。稍凌乱。可与 沃伦 Wołyń (2016)同服。
太空竞赛是一个对美国普通人的生活影响深远的时代
那些无聊又快乐的童年啊
也许我被欧美英雄主义或者说完美主义荼毒，看到俄国电影这种毫无圆满的故事是很压抑的。
这种生活还真有点让人羡慕。。。（除了需要接受体罚
3.5/5 看看别人的60年代，再看看我们的60年代。
美好的童年回忆，阿波罗计划只是一个切入点，更多是怀旧，总体还是缺乏些灵气。
还不错的战争片，正好蹭上俄乌战争的热度。抛开政治不谈，这片血肉横飞看着挺真实。前一秒还在压马路，后一秒就被炸飞。开头一帮抢民宅杀人的不清楚什么人，没有交代。几段攻防小战斗还挺精彩。
比较失望 绝大数时间都在记童年的流水账 琐碎无聊 偶尔的幽默但也还是会让人睡着…记得去年也看过同样是分不清真人演还是动画的一部片子 也是同样的无趣
应该让那些天天叫嚣打仗的人看看这个片子，男主说得好“战争不是战争片，没有浪漫，没有英雄，只有你想不到的死伤”…
拙劣的画质却有着有趣的故事梗概，美国60后借助阿波罗这一主线，对童年的回忆
话痨依旧
平凡又枯燥的童年叙事，在太空时代的背景下多了些可缅怀的碎片记忆。登月的人类一大步，曾是对未来的幻想和期待，然而五十多年过去了，地面上的战争、瘟疫和众多的无可奈何并未改变。蓦然回首，曾经平凡无奇的日子、曾经怀揣幻想的岁月，是最美好的时代，然而身在其中未曾察觉。
终于明白了，普京大帝要发动2022年这次战争了，如果电影属实，那么希望乌克兰去纳粹化。
联想现实确实是更加难过。
很久没这么投入的看完一部片子了，真是爱死哪个年代的音乐
1969年美国休斯顿的儿童回忆录，穿插着主角对自己登月的幻想，越看越能产生共鸣，每个小男子汉在儿时都有一个“英雄梦”，看来儿时的快乐大家都是大同小异，不分国界。90后的我如果把儿时的回忆展现出来，也是相当具有特色的……
