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.
很温馨，现在大国怎么就拍不出这样的电影呢？虽然最后老公靠同学找到工作，可能不具有普遍性，但是还是非常温馨，
整体水准挺高，就是看到最后，怎么觉得像怂恿老人卖房，去合租公寓的宣传片。
有点搞笑，但有点过于理想化了。片中的老奶奶是老了以后希望活成的样子。
有感动，有泪点，有喜剧，人生还是要积极面对一切的。
也是蛮无聊的，但没有养老金是不行已经开始担忧了。
20分钟内治好了我的低血压（五郎这种队友也不知道算好还是坏 唉）
喜歡這種用喜劇的方式來包裝現實悲劇的劇集。這一點霓虹總是走在最前面
天海佑希的角色看得让人窒息…最后真的像是出于缓解经济下行焦虑，特地拍的主题片…
沉重议题娱乐化，包治百病妇展颜。
休想骗我卖掉房子去住什么sharehouse
整体水准挺高，就是看到最后，怎么觉得像怂恿老人卖房，去合租公寓的宣传片。
没头感觉到温馨，也没有被笑到。没有钱，也从来没想过攒钱，就这么解决了问题。
share house这波安利广告真不错，把生活残酷的一面展现得轻松温馨，不容易啊，有点太童话了。所以没钱咋任性呢？
看过觉得有意外之喜,之前总认为日本电影缺乏幽默感,或是由于文化差异,自己很难get到日本人的笑点,这部电影却让我几乎从头笑到尾,全程高能,欲望膨胀却囊中羞涩,想要省钱结果却频遭变故,品质优雅面子最后都在现实中变成了快乐,无奈中却满满的温馨,让人忍俊不禁.
早说过很多剧是政府宣传导向，这部是合租房宣传片吧？从头到底很可怜的感觉。唯一笑点宝冢演员
年过半百忧老至，父母子女压双肩。
没想到一部看似沉重题材的片子拍得那么轻松，笑点十足，特别是调侃天海祐希进不了宝冢那段还有冒充别人父亲那段，也没想到看似轻松当中却反映了很多现实问题，影片的结尾也为解决养老问题提出了一种可能性。天海祐希演技太可了。
有感动，有泪点，有喜剧，人生还是要积极面对一切的。
这练了个什么瑜伽 太傻了 哈哈哈
年过半百忧老至，父母子女压双肩。
