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.
Great boring voices and really shitty music…..一分给声音、一分给真情，音乐是真的难听………
加菲居然这么优秀！女二竟然是歌舞青春女主 看到后半段才发现 太漂亮太优秀了TAT 看的时候数次联想到RENT 不管是音乐人物还是情节 双倍的动人TAT 有几首的音乐和表演也是格外精彩了！叙事结构也还挺有心的。
TV动画版的22-26集的合辑篇，与前两个合辑篇一样，与原动画相比，并没有什么新的内容或镜头，而且从故事上来说，这个合集也没有太大的爆点，真心感觉没有太大必要进行制作。故事上是第一次让所有的柱登场，同时也让众人认可变成鬼了的祢豆子跟随哥哥炭治郎和鬼杀队一起行动，之后便是三个男主的训练之旅，没有什么打斗的内容，也没有什么爽点，毕竟本身这一段就只是过度篇章，看过TV版的话，个人觉得没必要再看这一段了，确实没什么意思。
EP.1-5 《兄妹的羁绊》
加菲尔德在这里跟个老太太一样。
EP.15-21 《那田蜘蛛山篇》
补签，打死我也想不到蝴蝶忍和地狱吹雪是同一个人配的。
tick tick boom！被击中了，热泪盈眶。
以及桑爷爷是神——虽然这话甚至不用特别说出来。
想说剧作常规，但作为传记片又好像不是编剧的错，开始意识到很多人（其实也是很少人）的人生大抵也是如此。看的时候当然会忍不住想到爱乐之城，但再也无法有当初看爱乐之城时候的情绪。在什么年龄遇到什么电影确实是一种缘分，而这样同样的电影也会不断不断地以不同的外壳呈现，给恰好遇到那部电影的人。
比起前一部蜘蛛山的开挂，这一部还是比较实际的
用自传体音乐剧来演绎音乐剧作家的传记，加菲虽然唱得没那么好，但演得很加分啊，简直就是拉森。
三星半，觉得前面多线剪辑有点乱（过快），但是从作品presentation最后一首歌但到结尾很多泪点，再回头看前面的叙事，情绪爆发就显得非常顺理成章…加菲演的很好；好爱LMM，怎么可以那么全能，导演处女秀就这个水平好厉害…
可能是因为拍的是音乐剧编剧的传记，能看得出来在刻意保留音乐剧的舞台，限制在了狭窄的空间当中，并且其中一直穿插着演讲式的叙事，也可以体会到创作团队对音乐剧的忠诚。故事其实不太到位，但是频繁出现的音乐又非常出色地弥补了这个缺陷。三十岁一过，代表着人生又进入到下一个阶段，年轻的梦想与追求，要不会顺利地风平浪静或天花乱坠，要不会被现实碾得稀碎。为了自己的事业，我们投入了太多的时间，与朋友和恋人之间的距离逐渐增大，前进的路也在不知不觉中偏离了方向。但给予希望的往往不是自我消化，而是来源于身边所爱之人。时间不够又如何，死于三十五岁又如何，至少没有因为现实而变得媚俗。在离去的那一刻，人生停滞了，但留下的作品，正在这个世界不停地绽放。
倒数时刻，一部理想信念的十万个为什么。
2021的最后一部电影，2022的第一部电影，加油
思考着后果，思考着退路，思考着回报，选择真的太需要勇气了。但除了未至的朝阳，还有黑夜里细微的星光。
大型MV，情感和人物升华靠生拔。大概我太庸俗了，欣赏不了（我也很无奈啊）
关于创作瓶颈那回事，拍得还挺中规中矩地好的，虽然很想说“啊创作过的人会懂一点！”，但反驺一下，还是年底的标准冲奥定式暖色商业片。BTW今年《安妮特》珠玉在前，这部实在难听不到哪去。跟《爱乐之城》的对比也略微错误（跟《爱乐之城》的联系只能想到加菲和石头姐曾经的一段情……），更偏传记片的定位会让这片的视角比较折衷。也不知道所谓短评首页说的少数群体、有色族裔的加入符不符合史实，但恐怕不太符合这片所谓的“受众群体”口味……但俗话说得好，爱看音乐剧的不都是GAY吗？不太懂都在看音乐剧了为啥还在纠结这个问题。
Fear or love, baby, don’t say the answer, action speaks louder than words…近几年来最对胃口的片子。才华，执着和活着，苦难总可以构成结局的一部分。
