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.
感觉想想做成去年拉拉圣诞片《最幸福的季节》的gay版，然而故事真的差好多，无聊，也没什么笑料和冲突，仅仅是做到了合家欢而已。
电影2星 不过为烤了火 喝了Negroni 的cozy体验＋两颗小星星
好朋友能成为恋人真的很幸运，而一旦分开就真的会失去一个朋友。Anyway，今天也为别人的爱情猛虎落泪。
我比较认同前期妈妈的看法....为什么全家人要强行组合这对CP....好像在拼命给你洗脑“你俩多般配啊。”最后自己都信了“我俩好像真的挺般配”.....
这种电影就要无脑看，无脑看才开心，不然会觉得自己的智商被鄙视了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
No.2375 两个男主还挺养眼的，虽然也有些娘，但比那些夹着屁股走路的娘娘腔好多了。不过又是圣诞主题，国外这是拍了多少这个节日的电影啊。
Romcom这种电影为什么考虑剧情，看个开心就好了嘛. Nick真是好看😍
虽然剧情走向从两男主一亮相，就猜出个七七八八，也并没影响到继续看完整个故事的热情。3个男生都是好菜，各有各的香，Peter的家庭组成也符合圣诞节的标准配置。环节上没有多余，没有不够，传统的西方节日里，套着不传统的GAY版爱情，欢乐带来的感染力完全不受性别取向拘泥。
老套的圣诞爱情故事，Nick我真的好想占有他，太完美了
人设和故事那么浪漫的James&Peter be，突然和jm搞上，not convincing
感觉想想做成去年拉拉圣诞片《最幸福的季节》的gay版，然而故事真的差好多，无聊，也没什么笑料和冲突，仅仅是做到了合家欢而已。
麻哒，本来以为是单身狗的celebration，结果被怼了满嘴狗粮！
和圣诞速配一个毛病，剧情走向观众一目了然，导致人设和台词通通无关紧要，通篇想要把糖硬往观众嘴里塞，结果呈现出来的是刻意营造的温馨。圣诞速配的CP因为是真实夫夫，还能稍微嗑一嗑，这对“姐妹变老公”的CP就真的毫无火花可言了。
男主居然进入我的观影盲区了 也太帅了吧。btw 实在是没控制住想到了逃出绝命镇
It's so tacky, but Christmas supposed to be tacky, isn't
笑死，找不到男人就和姐妹在一起，不是我一直以来的想法吗哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
Luke Macfarlane！没人可以拒绝他！全家都瞎，无脑温馨肥皂剧，不能算电影🎬最后说一句，ZZ正确这个事在美国太可怕了。本片又名：《白人家族为改变“家庭成分”疯狂怂恿儿子放弃大帅比嫁给黑人小哥的故事》，主要台词：“祖祖辈辈都是白人，我们白怕了呀！”
？完全没看出来两人之间有什么磁力吸引的爱，超级牵强的啊…and最开始的完美情人果然最后都有个大惊喜就是出轨
虽然道理我都懂，但男主和nick之间真的没有什么化学反应好吗？我很想相信，但我做不到啊😅😂，说不定把james和nick的角色互换一下感觉还会好点，我要是有个nick这样的朋友，我是不会对他有任何那方面的想法的谢谢，james笑着对男主说“我们不合适”的时候我满脸excuse me，不想要luke可以送给我的谢谢，他出场那个慢动作笑死我了，演得很好，请luke多出洞谢谢，看在luke的面上加一星, ps，男主家人这种干预男主感情生活的行为如果去掉圣诞温情的滤镜其实是挺膈应人的，这一点有些影响我的观感。
除了感受到暴击，大概有那么一分甜。男主相互表白的时候演技太差了。
