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.
向故事原型李白邱裘慧珍夫妇致敬！
很伟光正 修复的效果一般般 不过有些帧数效果很好
好多年前看过，今天组织观看；还是非常敬佩这些为了新中国的建立奋斗、牺牲的人。
柳尼娜是真正的帝国之花。王心刚演反派也令人称道。
没有狗血的爱情也没有逆天的反转和戏剧，只是平淡的写实与牺牲，却足以令人动容。致敬李白烈士。
作为一部主旋律影片，在艺术上也有可取之处的，首先编剧功底很强，破题很快，节奏鲜明，如李侠熟悉上海环境获得社会身份的过程通过剪辑压缩了，对于时间的表现非常凌厉，如随职业从书画先生转为电器店主再到糖果店老板，时间感很清晰。从重庆与日方谈判到1949年，中间直接以叠印方式跳过抗日胜利，前后对比，表现了姚与柳二人战争油子的特点，从叛党到复归也体现出国民党自上而下紊乱的军心。姚在影片中与李甚至有种跨党知音的感觉，他欣赏到李侠点化清晰的发报节奏，直接表现了对他的赞扬，因为无论是强权面前的不屈，还是压力底下的从容，都是自己所欠缺的。谍战剧中对自己身份的隐藏依靠孙道临的精湛表演诠释出来，最后被捕视死如归嫉恶如仇的表演确实令人震撼，整个是一个理想主义的剧组，他们相信黎明终于到来了。月亮家人电报机宝塔山女工。
现代谍战片的师祖，无数桥段被反复致敬模仿，但从未被超越。
修复效果蛮好，但放到现在看目的性有点过 ，不管是国方还是日方都傻傻很单纯
孙道临一开始看着不像干革命的，后来就觉得“好棒啊！李侠！”
一样的煽情爱国电影😅
黑白经典老片的制作水准永远值得相信，老演员的颜值和演技更加碾压当今一票资本傀儡饭桶。而彩色高清重制的效果加成就更是绝赞了，调色带来的鲜活效果和个别场景的惊艳质感（我几个瞬间以为自己在看天使爱美丽或者水形物语），岂止是黑白转彩色那么简单。
致敬经典！很新鲜，我以为这种老片子只有电影频道才会见到的
三星半。虽然如今看到布景有些粗糙，演员的表演方法也令人不太习惯（直视镜头、一脸正气状等等），态度的转换太轻易（两三句改变了态度），但服化蛮好（柳妮娜有的衣服首饰还蛮好看的），细节到位（租界里有包头巾的印度人），演技不错（柳妮娜蛇蝎美人的味道很足），反派不弱智（虽然形象有点刻板）。
谍战非常刺激跌宕起伏，但是老电影有个通病，就是人物非常扁平化
“同志们，永别了，我想念你们。” 老上海的故事。
“同志们，永别了，我想念你们。”另外孙道临长得可真是玉树临风正气凛然啊……
跳跃性如此之大的故事……而且感觉完全是不必要的牺牲啊……
喜欢看老电影，主要是想透过镜头看以前中国的景，不过这里一大部分都是搭的场景吧。
最开始以为自己会看不下去，没想到却一直看到了结尾。看多了现在的电影，再去看这部电影，觉得好真诚好干净，每一个人，他们的感情都是那么的纯粹，尤其是兰芬年轻时那热忱得想立刻去做辛苦的工作时的样子，我真的被打动了。
永不消逝的电波
