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.
克隆一个自己，包括记忆，由他（她）将自己的人生继续下去。没啥不行吧？有点儿强说愁。科技既已发展到如此程度，却还是对付不了肿瘤。
罗生门？还是金刚川，不明白一个故事演三遍有啥好处，反正时长是翻了三倍
这就和“家人得了癌症到底应不应该告诉他”一样陷入一个伦理困境，我觉得前者是对病人本身的不公平，而后者则是对家人的欺诈，这个故事恰好可以让我们好好思考一下这个问题。片中的高科技给我留下了深刻的印象，最大的愿望能有一辆无人驾驶的车，我就再也不用为自己学开车发愁了。

那么可不可以多克隆几个人帮我去上班啊
也许真的到了未来那个世界，情感只需要存在于意识（或数据）中延续，本体反而是随意可以置换的有机体（用废即换），元宇宙的世界也可能就是人类的终极世界。
法庭上那段言语羞辱真是把中世纪欧洲的男权扒的体无完肤
三颗星是对这个片子最客观的评价，你说它有什么不好，也并没有，质感不错，演得不错，但也完美诠释了哆啦A梦里野比那个经常出现的表情包：“特意把大家喊出来，就是为了这点儿事啊？”这片子内容平庸无趣到B站多如牛毛蹭热度的影视区UP主都没人有兴趣做一下，因为这片子没什么槽点，可也确实乏味到没什么东西值得讨论。悲哀的美国电影现在已经重新分成了三大类：装B，NC，无趣。不知复苏要等到什么时候。
不需要看剧情，看画面，看风景，看室内装饰，装修了。
我曾看过太多所谓的史诗电影，但那宏大的战争场景却总是让我觉得乏味。
就算末了，你感到幸运吗？是的。可你感到欢愉吗？绝不。
最终，她发现真相对她毫无意义。好在，丈夫在拼杀关头还算争气。
以窗明净几的极简抒情风熬一锅寡淡鸡汤，
只是希望，因为快绝望
原来是本马达的本子，写得很聪明，雷导讲故事的方式还是这么immersive。最后那场决斗好精华，我跟现场看一样揪心，时刻害怕玛格丽特的命运，幸而结局真的god bless。不同perspective的细节改动我好喜欢喔！像是de Carrouges从苏格兰回家，他自己描述的英勇无敌只套着破烂盔甲大战归来，Marguerite的版本没主要变动但加了个披风，瞬间把这个所谓“男性valor”化身的虚伪给戳破。虽然可以简单粗暴概括三版证词细微对比之处为性别之差，但雷导本人定调Marguerite为“the truth”还是很被戳中，谢谢。
原以为影片要走刚正不阿战胜奸猾小人的路线，没想到是以伪罗生门的形式，迂回且生动地展现了那个时代男主自身的局限和女主遭受的不公，其间的矛盾冲突即便放到现世依然值得警醒，确实耐人寻思，回味无穷。
老土。每一步都是意料之內卻又意料之外——意外劇情文本的幼嫩和無聊，極度堆砌的感動其實會令觀眾反感。
因为一件中世纪性侵案而开展的决斗，以及围绕三个视点的罗生门般的叙述，只可惜这三个视点在视听手法上并没有加以区分，甚至同样的镜头连用两到三次，更多的是人物心理上的差异，达萌应该是三人中最“幸福”的，因为他或许从来都没过自己会输，依然虔诚地认为上帝会替他作证；司机荒谬地认为他爱她就不算性侵，却没想到身败名裂（而片中女性每个都说他帅气我是忍不住笑了）；朱迪则是最坚定，她只是勇敢地说出真相；最后的决斗也很精彩，将悬念放到最后一刻，而结局也显示出导演的善意，只是当他决定将一切交给上天的那刻起，我们都变成决斗场边的看客，真相好像也变得不再重要，而可悲的是，这一点或许从古至今都未曾改变。8.2
p.s.我不理解，这片不配提名小金人吗？
在现代可能立案的机会都不会给，从正义伸张总有渠道的目标来看，还有个国王给大家一场公平的决斗，并且有让原告被告说谎的代价的制度，反而是挺含智慧的。比滴血认亲，比举证困难因此不立案的科学思维好的多。
