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.
挺流畅的，无论是悬疑剧情还是情感发展都处理得不错，加上结合时代背景营造的肃杀阴冷氛围，整体气质鲜明。🛏️戏那段光影和配乐太棒了。主cp蛮好嗑的（我觉得男主更好看哈哈哈（风信子行动这个译名明显更好嘛
传统三镜头法拍摄的一部传统罪案片。
其实 我们现在这个时代也没有多好...虽然没有暴力 但是歧视无处不在 冷漠也是
悬疑很简单就能猜到后面结果就是恐同即深柜，虽然结局没有直接给出，还是给人留下一丝丝希望，然后故事却是真实的残酷，电影拍的真实又美，有些震撼
画面精美，冷暗压抑的氛围感充足。男主一点作为警察的敏锐度都没有，破案剧情再老派也不能这么凑合吧，男二全程小白花，仿佛去别墅应召的不是他似的。
谁想金子总会发光
剧本、演技、剪辑甚至调色，均为上乘。阴冷、压抑、肃杀，对这种熟悉的配方，喜爱有加，百看不腻。铁幕穹顶笼罩下，人人自危，连表达快乐的方式也寥寥无几。大到国家治理及国际关系，小到人格独立和个性自由，都充斥着扭曲。一句点睛台词：“做人不能什么都害怕，尤其害怕自由”。这类带有强烈辨识度的历史反思题材，恰恰较多出现在前苏联的几个傀儡国，这并不是偶然。从记忆里随手掂来的小片单：《毛骨悚然》《黑暗之家》《审问》《七天》《铁幕阴影下》，当然，还有更多人熟悉的《窃听风暴》。
古典西部片，没有黑人也没有女性，就连主角的结局也是那么的古典。
关于《老亨利》:时间短，节奏慢，没有黑人，没有女性，一部古典纯粹的西部电影。游侠变为农民，历史藏进衣柜;警长转行悍匪，罪孽烙下疤痕。可惜历史无法掩盖，罪孽难以洗白。低头本可相安无事，救人反惹血光之灾。短刀割腕，利斧破胸，拔枪射穿面颊，抬手击落飞刀。世界变了，但你大爷永远还是你大爷。
希望历史不要重演，希望历史赶快翻篇……
警察+学生，为了真爱丢了前途，正义警察。顺便遇见爱情👍
谁想金子总会发光
好久没看过这样灵肉合一的床戏了😭卷毛小狗满分！
转折和感情生硬得不得了，男主和女主的亲密镜头都比和男二多
有不能说通的几处细节，有很好的框架，让我这种对严肃议题会有天生抵触情绪的人还是看进去了。通过剪辑美术和摄影交代了那个年代令人窒息的生存空间。几句台词掷地有声。
只要保证两个人间亲密关系的可看性，成片出来的效果就不会差，即使故事本身已经是老生常谈的同性议题，关于压迫，关于迫害。无论年代是遥远的过去还是立足的现在，这个世界总会有假以正义之名剥夺他人快乐的同胞和被迫逃离故土的年轻面庞。
我会找到你的。
两星半。以悬疑犯罪为背景展现了一个阴冷灰暗的冬季下自我认知的故事。认清自我这条线讲的还可以，虽然中规中矩但也娓娓道来。而cp戏其实很少，俩人在审讯室有揪心到。但在看到最后受也骗了男主后对峙让他滚，明明攻是过来救他，我攻控劲就飙上来了，情绪全没，我日。（不了解波兰，但看起来对性少数群体的迫害从古至今全球都是一样的。）
整体三星吧，最后结局完全是吊人胃口嘛，警官怎么样了也不知道。爱情吧没拍的那么动人，事件吧也没拍出多少曲折看点，就题材而言实在有些浪费了。
哪来的那么多同性恋，异性恋，双性恋啊，归根结底还是爱而已。
