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.
bgm也棒！
起承转合挺不自然的。但是对这种宗教与同性恋、信仰与爱之间的冲突比较感兴趣。女二后面明显老了很多……
青春电影不等于早恋和叛逆，而在于那些我们回不去的年少时光，和为了一个小目标而全力奋斗的热情。也许是我们高中的运动会和一二九合唱比赛，虽然简单、纯粹，但却是成年的我们再也无法找回的美好。
好苦情，好现实，把张力体现得淋漓尽致，怎么说，不管是场景是止步在离开还是止步在重逢其实都是一样的，我们心知肚明就算编剧写下的是一起逃走，最后也都是这样，这就是相爱的代价，重点不应该是我们最终能不能走到一起，而是明知你要承担这样沉重的代价，你还要不要忏悔你的罪孽？
拍得好暧昧。看着两人在屋外悄悄接吻我紧张得像是会被发现的是我。最后结婚的一方显得憔悴不堪，而杰米打了鼻环染了头发周游了欧洲，差距实在太大，更不想结婚了。看觉节奏太快没有感受到心碎。
是我老了吗？ 成年人了，学会解决问题，对自己的人生负责。
情感上沒什麼relate的，真的很難想像可以這麼久愛著一個人否定一個人。太瘋愛情我不配有。
不用说爱，握住你的双手，在我的信仰下亲吻你。“我一个人的信念足以支撑我们两个。”多么荒唐又多么坚定。
选角选到了梦中情姬，除了风景和女主的脸不知道还能看啥，宗教元素感觉是为黑而黑，同样的宗教主题《违命》就把人物，环境，情节和情欲拍得很丰富，很难不把两个放在一起比
看完真的心塞许久…一时不知道说什么。好棒的一部片子，女主又帅又美，对手戏张力十足，好久没有打五星的女同片了
有男朋友还去撩别个，完了还想给别个介绍男朋友，被发现了就自己跑去结婚了，结婚了也不知道要保持距离，还每天都在想你，夸张了吧，这隔哪儿不是个渣！
暗涌着流动的暧昧 我懂所有的道理只是有些时刻“你应该在场的”
3.5分，影片表现的两人之间的情感感受不到有多深刻，与其说是爱，crush更为贴切，只是被宗教信仰这些外界因素所阻碍后显得有些可惜，其实两人压根没有想好要怎么过。最基本的信念想法达不成一致，情情爱爱只是缥缈浮云。
marike太会撩了吧，厕所那段性张力爆棚
两个小女主的颜值OK，就是某些信仰真的李姐不了，没有设身处地的经历，很难get剧里的角色的三观。认识了一种不同生活方式吧。
难得看个加拿大的电影，但是在一起以后又跑去结婚了就算了吧，如果是没在一起过，结了婚，离婚了再重新在一起我还可以理解。
最近看了好多涉及到宗教的电影，一直不理解，这都有人信？

back hug真的好苏啊 以及J好漂亮又帅又美
这部电影的一些镜头拍得非常好。比如两女主心动的瞬间，还有其他的肢体接触，配上bgm有种纯纯的欲。但是剧情就真的无力吐槽。感觉眼镜女是清醒派，而宗教女一整个好像被洗脑了一样，好奇怪。相比较之下怎么感觉眼镜女和她那个男性朋友反而更搭一点呢...
