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.
一窝乱斗！就一个反派，大杀四方，警察的警惕性和战斗力就这么低，确定是美国警察，而不是皇协军？
这俩人是搭伙了吗？俩片水准差不多，但这部第二个杀手表演太难看了，有点看不下去。
简单的警局突击战，除了政治正确的黑人妹子警察（史泰龙附体），整个警局中的其他货色都是必须被牺牲的工具人。一把左轮打天下，微冲+突击步枪统统扑街，这格局有点儿小了。
平淡又匆忙，整片的氛围看到结尾也没有在期待着什么，合了导演的意。
威尼斯主竞赛第九场，如果我事先做了功课知道这是《新秩序》导演的新片我肯定会弃了这片
黎明终将到来，是泡沫也好，是希望也好，总要去面对。
编剧想憋着大招，写出环环相扣的生死跌宕，但功力不足，完全没有细节铺陈补充。导演拍得也缺乏说服力：就凭作家那又瘦又老还重度罗圈腿的小身板，偷偷下毒蘑菇，挑拨罪犯杀医生还有一点儿可信度，可不靠帮凶大白天谋害健壮救生员已很难，再把女主徒手扔下楼？太低估癫狂状态的女人爆表战斗力了！
名作家骚扰打字小姐姐被告，法院传票寄到家里刺激了深受抑郁症困扰的前芭蕾舞演员妻子，导致妻子自杀还带走了小女儿……看上去很惨是吗？问题你作家和该隐有一毛钱相似之处吗？该隐是好端端被善妒的亚伯杀了，上帝才补偿给他伤害7倍偿还，你的妻女双亡跟被性骚扰的打字员有关系吗？就因为你个管不住下半身的成功人士一贯以为自己能随心所欲，后面的一系列骚操作打击报复更是把人渣本色演绎到底，这是什么天怒，明明就是人祸！导演把一个狗血故事包裹上宗教外衣就能美化犯罪者了？
晚餐与乐手暗送秋波，一切都是很惬意的，然而总会有划破这份美好的东西
泰迪得罪了狠人，几波杀手轮番杀到。走投无路之下他故意袭警打算去警察局里避避风头，没想到各路杀手嚣张得硬闯了警察局。
感觉还挺好看的，光看名称和封面就感觉内容也可以，就是有些地方在真实一点就更好看了。
不光剧中人物不明白发生了什么，看电影的人也不明白发生了什么，可能只有导演自己明白。
整部片看完，感觉像没有看一样，对于作家报仇谋杀女主家人的企图根本没有诠释，根本没有逻辑上的连接，全是蒙太奇的拍摄手法（第一次知道这个拍摄手法，特地去百度了），就是很平静的悬疑片，不明不白的那种，看的过程中没有跌宕起伏。只是影片后面女主去找作家，怎样才能不伤害她的最后一个亲人妹妹时，作家才稍微说出了一句让人能猜测到他是谋害女主家人的一句话，就是女主自己才是解决这个事件的人，然后女主跳楼自杀。后面作家和女主妹妹去送别女主焚烧的时候，记者说他就是凶手，作家威胁他不要多管闲事，而抛下一句话说他和女主妹妹都是丧失家人的人，或许这是共同点，能让他们不在乎年龄的差距在一起，瞬间让人感觉到不寒而栗……
密闭空间的悬疑犯罪枪战片，开头的一段西部蛮荒氛复古围包括配乐都塑造的极佳，全片紧张气氛和枪战镜头都拍的不错，多头叙事可惜却又各个浅尝辄止，最后时刻黑老大的短暂出现太过于突兀，往下拉分不少。
很奇怪的电影，反转反转再反转，出人意料的结尾，确实没想到，但剧情实在不敢恭维
@ Film Center, PFF 30. 很克制。最后的医院场不知道是解释还是延续，如果理解为后者会更好一点。
反正一个突然主流的结尾就差点意思
基本不写评价的，但这垃圾的让我实在忍不住了。影片没有解释是怎么杀人的，这男二号记者也没什么用，浪费时间。也就女主角比较漂亮能让我看下去，这电影连国内悬疑片都比不上。
大概有些人觉得自己非常了不起吧，对影片有着极致苛刻的要求，我觉得真的很不错，天道有轮回，苍天饶过谁啊！
评分有点低了，是因为节奏过慢？我倒是觉得很有意思，尤其是结局
