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.
与其说看男孩和女孩（女人未满）之间的情感线索 说以私人想象relive七十年代色彩浓郁而灯火辉煌的加利福尼亚或许更贴切
我家钢铁直男宝也津津有味地看完啦，给个好评。
快看睡了，复古怀旧一个点都没get到，非常无聊的美国奔跑爱情梦。有多期待就有多失望，没打一星是因为勉为其难没睡着。
说到水床，有一个朋友在她重要考试前一天入住考场附近旅馆，一打开门才发现自己定的是水床房……
保罗•托马斯•安德森第三部。我是觉得，对于pta这样的导演，如果你没有足够的灵感、也没有优秀的故事还没有合适的演员，那不如不拍。
SG变得好有魅力😳身材可以啊，长发挺适合的，没能在小镇滋味继续看到怂男演出，能在这电影看到挺开心的
Freiluftkino凍死個人。還在想這家人也太像了，一搜原來是Haim三姐妹。笑點太好笑
Gary就是未成气候的华尔街之狼，真实到让我想到了很多熟人，没有一个我喜欢
首先要讲好故事。（今年奥斯卡提名怎么都又臭又长啊
电影上映期间有太多大片看，就完全忽略了这一部。再加上另一部同期的文艺片belfast真的是看的睡着了，也牵连了对这一部的预期。没想到坐飞机时候看完意外的好看。摄影，灯光，舞美，演员演技都超级过硬，更难得的是剧情也超级好，并不是一个只重视美感的空架子（比如moonlight和if beale street could talk。没错，都是同一个导演的电影）那种青春爱情友情模糊不清的来回拉扯被拍的淋漓尽致。演员长得不惊艳但演技超级棒。是个很容易杯忽略的年度好片。
很扎实，几处定格就把人物心理展露无遗，事情的转折看似什么都没讲，但呈现的结果已在情理之中，好笑又大条。
很青春的调调（抱着纯欣赏的心境 并不想经历） 那个口音其实我觉得是在两次嘲笑学口音的人 结束得措手不及 女主演得好 镜头下的她特写脸部质感都出来了 很美
疯批的爱情故事，70年代的洛杉矶和摇滚乐充满了复古的味道，Cooper那段笑的肚子疼。
PTA青春怀旧小片 最近是迷上日剧跑了吗？
Sean Penn那段比一整部上帝之手都更加费里尼
那就奔跑吧 拖着我们这副不完美的躯壳 它在所有不起眼的地方都散发着好美丽的光
沐浴在浓浓年代氛围感的老音乐里，看着上世纪70年代美国市镇，这一段简单平凡如普普通通的夏日糖水一般美好的姐弟恋在时代的大背景下层层推进着，男主弟弟不甘做个纨绔子弟积极创业，间隙撩妹为了任性地气女主姐姐，女主姐姐出身平凡家庭条件普通，一开始总也不甘于陪着男主弟弟做小买卖，梦想着攀上个优秀成熟的男人实现走出平凡甚至阶层跨越，但在女主次次受挫之后，在男主终于明白要更加主动出击之后，双向奔赴就自然而然水到渠成。恋爱情结推进的太流畅了，以至于前期看着俩人各种任性闹别扭会不由自主跟着着急，结尾看到两人终于跨过边界又会油然而生一种老父亲看到自家孩子终于有了happyending的满足感。
二十岁就快来，这一次我的心情不高不低不好不坏。
★★★☆ 因為他是Paul Thomas Anderson，所以對他只是拍了一個互相反復拉扯的愛情故事有些失望，少了他獨此一家的危險又迷人的毀滅氣質，或許這是已經步入50歲的叛逆期吧，不過還好，還是已然可以認出是他，把針藏進了棉花糖裡，沒有對70年代洛杉磯盲目加上回憶濾鏡，對破碎與迷茫並為粉飾。好久沒看Sean Penn的作品了，差點忘了他曾經是我最愛的演員，久別重逢，他依然迷人。
