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.
反转还是可以的，就是慢镜头和配乐太抒情了，导致后面的反转风格不搭。
看了这部电影，感觉好多电影都是在狗刨…编剧神绝…
良心发现，英雄出现，民众狂欢。
任何一个国家如何对待弱势，体力弱势、情感弱势、乃至地位弱势的人，那就是一个国家文明的底线。可是之类的电影看到太多了，尤其是韩国日本印度，却对于社会没有太多进步，仍然是女性权利最低的几个国家。不禁沮丧，电影能救个狗X啊。
我们对它呈现出的“尖锐”的赞美仅仅来自于我们遭受的审核制度。
立意超高的电影，案中案，反转又反转，寻求正义的群众看完会高潮的那种爽片——只不过最后揭秘副警督和律师的背景那部分可以不要，对于一部宣传社会正义的价值观，应当是法理和道德律双重约束下的群体性正义，是如同片名（也是印度国歌）的《Jana Gana Mana（人民的意志）》，而不应当是因果报应这种玄学命理，那就格局小了；尤其是还要暗搓搓铺垫续集的引子，唉，那格局简直是开始歪了……
非我等动动笔杆、喊喊口号的“理论家”所能企及
后半段是跪着看完的。
今年最满意的悬疑片，比去年的杰伊博姆有意思多了，千万不要低估印度阿三的原创能力，最近唐山事件引发了社会热议， 相比起中国，在印度这个国家发生的事远远更令人发指，但他们用更加高的视角去阐述社会议题故事。无论在社会探索深度和社会舆论的反思程度都远远吊打误杀2，我估计陈思诚会对这个故事很有兴趣，与此同时，我非常期待韩国的改编版。 内政部长的表现堪称洪先生。
法庭上的几段话真的精彩，振聋发聩！可是几千年的糟粕真的很难改变。
也许不能解决所有问题
剧情设定很套路，Finch和人类社会的分离一带而过，他又是否渴求与人交流呢？重点想表达的信任，只是靠离去升华是否多少有点被动？
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
我给了6分。
2022. 7.11，在这个近期吃瓜，瓜连着瓜，热点一个接一个的当下，结合目前的舆论环境来看这部影片就像是有人替我们喊出了一些声音，被愚弄驯化被操控的人们，睁开眼睛吧，撕开真实世界的一角给你看下，哪里有什么真相？有什么正义？有什么公平？片子结局其实是有点糊了，开场近一个小时的铺垫也稍长，背景音乐也有对点乱剧情，想说的东西也是太多太多，有点溢出，但法庭辩论还原事实部分还是起鸡皮疙瘩的~~~~~推荐一看~~~耐心是美德，尤其是看印度片~~
不要随便相信媒体的言论 普通人不要做被煽动的工具
一个完全不科幻的故事,讲人和人的连接,讲父亲和孩子,讲孤独和世界.
这么一来，拍这么一部电影，不光不会被封杀，还有可能专门拨款助力向全世界推广呢。
印度电影
故事D：正义律师忍辱负重一朝加倍奉还。
