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.
意外的很有共鸣，对成熟既渴望又恐惧。被“你还不知道自己是谁”击垮了
挑去了伯德小姐的稚嫩却保留了青涩的单纯，在告别与心碎中慢慢成长，而对于puppy般温暖的Cooper我只想说，human relationship needs you to be that cure.
曾经编导过《机械姬》《湮灭》的亚力克斯·嘉兰在今年编导了这部《男人》。
《恰恰丝滑》是由导演库伯自导自演的一部影视作品，讲述了刚刚毕业的安德鲁面对自己的人生感到十分的迷茫，找不到前进的方向。影片的名字同样让人浮想联翩，简短的四个字，将影片的主题立意表达的淋漓尽致，一语双关，不仅具有艺术特色，情节精彩纷呈，更重要的是，通过一种隐喻的方式告诉人们，影片中的主角们从彼此的生活中经过，最终回到各自的轨道。这部影片所呈现的语言是不可缺少的灵魂，对于细节的处理拿捏精准，画面感丰富，配乐精致舒缓，情感表达真挚细腻，唯一的不足之处在于剧情过于寡淡无趣，平庸乏味是这部影片最大的硬伤。
3.5. What a sweet boy！
每个人都在成长，只有体验过后，通过之后才能长大，刻骨铭心。 最后那段男主给妈妈打电话来接他，有点类似请以你的名字呼唤我的桥段。
不同人生阶段的人友善的相遇 也许只是唯一的交叉点 但引起对人生的回顾和思考 对未来的启发 20s 就是冲撞 撕裂 但是永远充满无限可能性 anyway saying goodbye nicely is a beautiful scene for each life
讨好型人格虽然是在不停内耗但是他真的好可爱，可爱到可以让我接受一个完美家庭和许多正能量。
其实我觉得导演已经不适合演这个戏了。你要是说甜茶遇到了这种困惑我还能理解，男主形象显得太废柴了啊。情感点不用做的吗？我知道铺了，但是爱不起来啊喂。达妹为什么接这个戏啊，我不懂。
太牛了吧！自导自演！/这部剧里的人都好温柔好温柔。好爱。/“我告诉你你要一直全心全意地关注她，但我忘了告诉你你也要全心全意地关注自己，这不容易，因为你在做自己的同时还要去争取自己想要的东西。接吻是两个人共同享受的事。”我爱你！！最重要的事是，我想要让你快乐！/I am drunk now TAT（好心疼，好心疼）/当一个人爱你，他满眼都是你，充满温柔和浪漫。男女主的眼神太有戏了，我从他们的眼里看到了爱情。555好美的爱，我们相爱但是要离开。/哦对了，我觉得我们是灵魂伴侣。但你选择的他也是。（转身离开，却满眼都是泪555……）/最后两个人都转身回到了属于自己的生活中，或许这就是幸福的另外一种解释方式吧。20+的年龄，爱而不得，但尊重且再见，是成长的过程。
三星给剧情，一星给男主的演技
打五星的我真不理解，我甚至看到一半都好害怕，哪里治愈了😓我不理解
imagine 如果这个片子导演是女性what would they say
无论排得多好，这种订婚了搞暧昧的剧情还是无法接受。
和男主有过很不一样但又相似的经历。自愧不如的是人家居然就是导演
人生会遇到很多灵魂伴侣，但是最终走下去的只有一个，我们在价值和自我定位里取舍，步入快乐。但回忆也一直潜藏在心底。
Really smooth. 电影很流畅很治愈，机缘总会让很多亲人、恋人、朋友无法得偿所愿地一直陪伴在身边。Timing真的很重要。
SFFILM 4/30 Closing Night 我对美式傻白甜青春片完全提不起兴趣，评论都说影片非常白，但我看完觉得还好，男主即导演本人非常讨喜，好像一个小太阳，对弱势个体很关心，如果主线往这方面写会更吸引人。片中男主人公只有22岁，导演拍电影的时候也就这个年纪，还是感觉很震撼，因为电影完成度很高。猜测会是美国青少年会喜欢的电影，喜欢青春片得也可以看看。
达妹和小男生的一段姐弟恋，达妹从上个片子黑了后到现在也没白，得好好保养下，又和莱斯利合作，她俩都喜欢，看不出莱斯利竟然50了，难得还这么精致，小鲜肉编导初出茅庐。
自导自演，很厉害～但是这片真的太太无聊了🥱
