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.
15-080美国《平行爱情》
剧情很有《诺丁山》既视感，不过还是欣赏不了詹尼佛洛佩兹，还是喜欢大嘴茱莉亚罗伯茨
音乐太好听了。
我觉得最离谱的情节是，Alexandra Shipp演Owen Wilson的前妻，后者的岁数得是前者的三倍大吧
歌曲真好听，这么老套的剧情也舍不得倍速看。
我挺喜欢这个故事的，虽然有很多瑕疵，但是我还是被这个故事感动了。女主治愈过去创伤的代价太大了，但是没有那场车祸，就没有整个故事。
算是第一部gay christmas电影了 有甜又笑有节日气氛就好了啊 圣诞电影还要干啥
欧文威尔逊有时候很帅，有时候像戴假发的川普。剧情乱七八糟但台词比看过的大部分漫威迪士尼强
#圣诞专题观影#意想之中的俗套，为啥要姐妹磨β？还好男演员们都还蛮帅的，演技也没烂到出戏的程度。
好扯的剧情，不喜欢。我只是为了看欧文·威尔逊 YF
比想象中好 感觉在现在的世界里偶尔能看一些不用带脑子的东西多开心啊
勇敢的拥抱美好啊！很多悲剧也许是因为没有做一个好好的告别，才会走进一个艰难的死胡同。我们要好好的学会告别。当别人来找我们告别的时候，也要好好的划上句号，而不是就地跳进进一个迷宫。
俩月之前出预告就一直在期待 看完有失望 纯纯鼓励分 情节莫名其妙不说 宛若超长mv 男主也不帅 jlo别披头发了 脖子太短显得壮
很普通轻松的romcom 闲得没事干随便看看
JLo演的每一部电影都是她自己的故事。And I’ve had enough.
被JLo美到了！电影后半截yanchh 里面的扮相好美艳好女王，虽然角色并不是女王型，但不妨碍我脑补。然后影片提到的三段婚姻就是在影射JLo她自己吧，还有开场婚礼drama也是在不就是在说自己跟Ben的婚礼在几小时前取消的事情吗？
虽然知道这种片儿不能太推敲剧情，但分手分得也太生硬了？软萌老师在结婚发布会上的发言有一丢感动到我，加半星！
剧情太无厘头了吧...21世纪的玛丽苏也不是这样的...
3.5 歌是真的不错！jlo yyds
