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.
人性的丑恶在印度的种姓制度不断放大，高种姓的人压榨低种姓的人，在这压力下，低种姓的人压榨同阶层的人，只要种姓制度存在一天，印度低种姓人永远不可能翻身
一个电影杂合太多问题 几乎阐述了整个国家的病灶
纪实了一些东西吧。里面反应的社会问题有很多，也符合我国情况，不过这些问题我们已经意识到了，至少已经关注到了，所以没有收获。
这段台词太燃了
前半部分和后半部分完全是两个电影的感觉 前半部分以为只是就是个印度常见简单的js案 没想到从法庭部分开始峰回路转几重反转 真相令人震惊 比韩国人还敢拍 当印度都开始文化自信时…后面的话就不说了
类似风格的印度电影看过不少了，可依然还是会在32℃的环境中汗毛竖起。
涵盖的社会议题太多了，题材大胆令人惊叹，剧情一路连连反转，蛮有社会意义和反思空间的，但某种方面来说杂糅了过多的信息量，感觉太满了，另外也依然具有印度电影的强煽情特色，结尾律师的电话貌似昭示了复仇宣言，感觉这样收尾反而有些弱化…
结论说的是唯有在这么棒棒哒的体质下，普通人才有机会干趴下手眼通天的大坏蛋，才能伸张正义，才有能力还人世间一个公道。
5.最脏最黑的永远是政治家，最根源的腐败是种姓制度
真相的多次反转，将故事的不同片段拼凑成完整的故事，不同的角度看到的是完全不同的故事，从英雄到黑手再到英雄，冒头仍然直指盘踞多年的种姓制度，不仅是好人受到种姓制度的伤害，哪怕是坏人也如此。女性歧视、高校腐败、政治黑暗、无良媒体、高压手段等等社会问题都集中展现出来。电影未必值得这么高的分数，不过却散发出了与种姓制度抗争到底的点点火种，时间的设定如此的近也説明了问题的根深蒂固以及任重道远，也有对未来胜利的期待
前一小时纯属铺垫，后面开始精彩。按这个程度应该还有续集可以拍。
对我个人来言，是继18年《我不是药神》后看过最好的电影，没有之一，160分钟的片长，几度反转。电影拍到这个份上，我甚至想不出用什么词语来形容他了。中国人会不由自主的联想到最近的唐山事件，强烈推荐。
四星，剧本，反转都很出彩，但最后10分钟信息量爆了，有些逻辑没理太轻。多一星给鼓励，印度电影最近真的勃勃生机啊~
反转再反转，结尾有点仓促，律师那条线信息量好大，可以展开拍个续集
是啊，人民的意志不应该成为政客手中权利的游戏。
不断反转之中，逻辑也合情合理。但是信奉甘地这个点我很不喜欢，非暴力不合作，本身就是”假革命“啊~
落后的国家，落后的体制，竟然为了博取选民的投票而费劲心思操控司法和媒体，真是笑死我了，还好我在中国
层层反转确实有些别扭，不过敢拍也是确实敢拍。
所以，这部阿三片看了十分钟，我以为又是探讨强奸问题的（毕竟，这已经是阿三们挥之不去的顽疾了）。看了一个小时，我以为是警察化身法外裁决者的爽片。但是，怎么可能？这部片子长达161分钟，一个小时过后，当我们以为了解了事情的来龙去脉的时候，后半段进入了精彩的法庭辩论，真相层层剥开，反转再反转，激荡人心的配乐，看得人心潮澎湃。短短161分钟的电影，涉及到了强奸、校园腐败、种姓制度、政治黑暗、媒体导向，也深刻的反省了法学理论中很重要的一个议题:实体正义和程序正义哪一个更重要？
多重反转，故事结尾信息量太多，交代起来显得仓促，续作的空间会比较大。
