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.
任何一个同性恋都会有共情，都会被感动的片子。虽然很俗套，但是谁不想有人为自己这样挺身而出？
男主眼睛好漂亮，蓝色鱼缸前的吻戏我真的狠狠心动，少女幻想和现实阻碍还是有落差啊，应该是开放式结局吧？不知道男女主有没有he
黑人有天生的进化缺陷。
喜欢女主，女孩子们总是善待所有，包括这个世界上不被接受的人和事。
有点类似《悬崖之上》啊，一上来就是叛徒出卖，然后逃跑。。。只不过，套了一个种族隔离的皮而已①说教味道太浓了②另外，搞不懂，为啥枪手会射杀司法部长的女儿。。如果那样，还不如直接把白女身后的黑人直接射杀呢！！③直升机飞行员是女队员检查的，她居然没发现飞行员身上的手枪和窃听器，那她检查个锤子④还有警长进入银行，身上带着枪，脚上也带着枪，不检查的吗？⑤再就是人质个个都精神抖擞的。。一点都不怕他们啊。。。⑥除了特警小分队和大校有那么一点种族歧视的味道。其他的人不管是警察，还是人质，都很有人情味到，都很同情黑人啊？如果这样的话，黑人还反抗个屁啊！尤其是司法部长的女儿，如果真的想帮助黑人，平时有很多机会帮助的啊，这个时候突然冒死支持黑人，是个什么意思？？这个坑爹女吧？？她爹的司法部长位置肯定保不住了。。。
真实历史事件改编，虽然不太懂南非历史、种族隔离制度、为了争取自由平等所做的牺牲，但是电影本身渐入佳境，高潮处戛然而止，还是有一定冲击力，不过也有不少问题铺垫不足。
比起爱情，反而有被男主的好友那份善良感动到频频戳中泪点，真的是很温暖的朋友啊，知道男主是同后多少有些交往上的细节变化也很真实。而男主一开始那份对自己的厌恶，努力想尝试回到“正常”，种种都带着现实意味。女主也是亚撒西到不行。枫珠和tsubasa的角色也是很有cp感啊，好喜欢温泉那段豁出去的吻戏
自由是什么？是一切，自由价更高，若为自由故，一切皆可抛。
给司法部女儿的戏多一点就好了，有些东西撑起“她没那么傻白甜”比让她简单念两句词或许会更有力。随着数人质剧情推进得倒也不拖沓，只是几个人质要是能发生交互感觉会更有意思。
＃美国电影 ＃动作片 ＃犯罪 ＃种族 ＃人性
看完第一反应：幸好不是真的弯掰直🤣
精彩出现在最后四十分钟，细节拉满。差点误解了。
我爱上了别人老公一直在当男小三，却还是想过普通人娶妻生子的幸福生活，只能在学校伪装自己的性向，所以接受了腐女同学表白。我极度自厌封闭的现实世界和她所认知的全是bl纸片人世界极与极的对比。
这片子评分有点低啊，个人赶脚挺不错的，黑与白，自由，人类，演员演技也不错
虽然两位都是我喜欢的演员，但我还是更推荐剧版情感描写更细腻
What's the price of freedom? Everything. Sometimes Freedom costs too much. 然而，我们一往无前。
总是被感动😭
自由的代价远超想象！司法部长女儿的死更能说明种族歧视的顽固势力肆无忌惮啊！
现在看四十年前的人们好有礼节，反抗的如此温文尔雅。片中的美国黑人已经思想解放敢想敢干了。认准的路就要一直走下去，不要奢求对手仁慈。
很喜欢课堂上的讨论，有些话题不要假装不存在，开诚布公谈一谈更好，但是枫珠弟弟的演技…额额，再加油吧
