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.
有些国家的女性确实不容易
有点「荒蛮故事」的爽感，也有「日本之耻」的效用，更多个伊藤诗织和亚米站出来，这个世界终会少些邪恶。
主题立意很高尚，但拍摄水平欠佳，很简单的剧情，拖了整整两个小时。话说印度这个神奇的国度，好像整个国家的男人一直都处于发情期，真是奇葩，但这也反映出弓虽女干在印度的犯罪成本是有多低，真是印度女性的悲哀……
7⃣️就是字幕翻译得差了点儿。不知道会不会扩充为海外华人电影序列中的又一力作？
很少看印度电影，主要是怕看动不动就跳舞唱歌。这部电影还不错，说实话，女主演的挺好，就是不明白为什么用这样的方法复仇。如果少一些幼儿园部分，多点她复仇的准备可能更刺激一点吧。
2022年3月20日存想看，4月3日下载，4月4-5日看完。剧情的表面是一位印度女老师绑架所有孩子的故事，但是深度下面则是再次敲击了印度女性权益的问题。故事的套路借鉴了很多电影，但是结果不算俗套。只是女总理来现场这里的逻辑有点崩溃。这是在疫情状况下拍完的一部电影，很不容易的印度小品电影。存于硬盘8/其他地区电影/2022看过。
电影除了主题还非常自然的融入了不少元素。喜欢，也看的人很伤心。外，这个片子真的没有苹果耳机赞助吗？？？
看到最后心里忿忿不平，凭什么女性要承受这么多，真难啊。
节奏、叙事、反转其实都是非常常见的，包括那个男孩的生死其实都算不上悬念，但最重要的不是这些类型的拼贴和操持，而是最后敞开动机时的控诉，如果那些控诉不能完整表达出来，前面的一切铺垫玩得再花哨、再悬念迭出也没有意义，这就是为什么总觉得这一类印度电影或者韩国电影有力量的原因。所以说，不是简单去学前面那些类型化的叙事方法，而是要争得最后那些诉说的可能性，但这显然又是电影之外的事了。可很多时候都是电影之外的问题裹挟着电影本身和电影之内的问题。
虽然本片必然属于虚构，许多情节也不够合理，但是越来越喜欢印度电影的深入且敢于直面和反思社会的顽疾，感觉这才是有担当的民族觉醒和大国崛起的象征。
还是挺好看的，为女主的善良和勇敢而打动。虽然这个电影不一定能改变什么，但是至少会触动些什么。就想女主说的，这里大部分都喜欢装聋作哑，除非你闹到他们面前。哎，女主的男朋友还是挺帅的。
it's all about justice.
失职的警察，冷漠的旁观者，毫无悔意的强奸犯，拿起枪械的受害者。是时候醒来了。
一个人要多么善良，才能在自己的仇人面前仍然爱憎分明，不伤及无辜；一个人又要多么绝望，才能为了正义不惜一切，英勇赴义。很有借鉴意义的一部电影。

印度社会有着各种各样的问题，但至少还有人会思考，并通过电影这种方式去警醒别人。不止印度如此，很多国家都有各式各样的法律，但制定法律的是人，选择实施和是否遵守的也是人，如果仅仅因为有某部法律存在就代表社会变得更美好了，那只能说想得美……
题材很好也很深刻，女主杀了qj 犯后无声的呐喊是全剧最精彩最高明的地方。除以上以外，全片充满了不合理，为了配合主角演一出大戏，警察宁愿放弃智商和下限。
7.5总是需要一些人牺牲点什么，呐喊才会被选择性听见。
滥竽充数的慢动作和无时不刻的失败配乐毁掉了这部电影——可这似乎也是宝莱坞电影的标配，可以看作是我们所熟知的MV电影。但问题就在于每次随着配乐的推镜头实在是突兀而可笑，和导演却无比热衷将其和稀烂的配乐结合，甚至连女主角在开着的手机视频都能突然用手机相机进行推镜头，这一再制造出十分鬼畜的画面，简直是用用最出戏的调度破坏了凝重的气氛。我和朋友都开始预测bgm和推镜头了，这成为了观影过程的最有趣之处。整体来说，剧本还是太老套了，所有的手法几乎都有前人的痕迹，但它的现实意义绝对是不容忽视的。
影片中的女主用她的方式向印度呐喊
