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.
女人累，人机合一活受罪
一个简单点子的小成本科幻片，人与自身及社会关系的疏离探讨，社交厌恶症很容易共情主角的感受。那么，最终到底是谁活下来了呢？我觉得是克隆体，最后的崩溃是发现自己争取到的原体的生活并不是自己想要的。
克隆人也是有人权的，为了这个理念甚至不惜要与真身决斗，这是中世纪嘛，搞笑
开放式结局，粗糙的头发，摔碎的手机，以及将计就计的喝水等等都埋下伏笔，证明她是本体，可怜的是强势的母亲，嫌弃她的男友爱上了她的克隆体，联合想把本体杀害，可悲。小粉红加一星⭐
重走了被操控的人生回过头来才发现不值得
挺喜欢这种设定的 能Get到表达的意思但还是纠结最后谁死了…
学了一个月的格斗术、杀人技巧没用上。
芬兰的片子，芬兰果然是个压抑的国家，看得人太压抑了……从电影的主题，到色调，到这个从开头让人不喜欢到结尾的主演，怎一个压抑了得，看的人心情极差，看得我都跟男朋友分手了
再去看看类似设定二重身
倾向于 本体被毒死 活下来的是克隆人 最后的绝望是因为看到了本体生活的尽头而自己还要活着过下去
笑死，Mr.Edwards那段女看护跟尸体对话堪称本年度最爆笑镜头了
芬兰的片子，芬兰果然是个压抑的国家，看得人太压抑了……从电影的主题，到色调，到这个从开头让人不喜欢到结尾的主演，怎一个压抑了得，看的人心情极差，看得我都跟男朋友分手了
画面中掩盖不住的清冷感让一个本来不该出现的人出现，并让两个长相相同的人自我裁决。概念不错，但有趣程度不算及格。
本体死后复制体继承义务之一是继续支付复制的费用，一点唾液大概一小时就能复制出与现在相似的本体，会交流但没记忆？要跟本体一起生活学习习惯爱好那还不如找个人整容。 2%的痊愈都能遇上，当时应该换几家医院检查看看。 卧槽，居然还解剖露三点的女尸。 脑残女主，打算跟复制体一起逃出境外结果被复制体在饮水中下毒中毒。 那个女裁判也是人才，复制体说不小心把转向用的那个轮子当成刹车的踏板了，连方向盘都不会说这都看不出是复制体？ 女主她妈还帮她订有色隐形眼镜，女主她妈和男朋友配合复制体掩饰？ 复制机构知道两者瞳孔颜色不同，法庭没找这家机构确认？ 本体喜欢墨西哥菜，最后存活的说不喜欢。 开车出门不太顺，说明存活的是复制体，哭是因为重复本体的生活而不是活成她想的那样。
最后死掉的应该是original，被copy毒死了。判断依据是妈妈和男友对她投以蜜汁笑容，说明他们俩都知道这个人是copy，而且妈妈还给她买了隐形眼镜(遮盖眼珠颜色)。copy蹩脚的开车技术和对车祸的描述也是copy的语言风格。
二重身的概念已不算新颖，表达的落点也无非是身体—情感的双重利害关系。最后的反转是意料之内的射程，落下的泪水和挥出的利器孰优孰劣是创作者关于路径的决选。
倾向于 本体被毒死 活下来的是克隆人 最后的绝望是因为看到了本体生活的尽头而自己还要活着过下去
当自己克隆自己用来替代不久于世的自己时，自己又不会死亡，造成的困扰。2个自己的心理状态的变化。
如果最亲近的人，都因为另一个你更年轻漂亮聪明得体，而选择放弃了你，不然就让他们拥有那个你算了。这也太绝望了。
还是星云那个说话语气和表情。她真是本色演出
