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.
2021年9月22号，已经一年半了，疫情仍然像数码宝贝的盲盒一样，不知进化成什么样，不知何时到谁家
开局稳稳，最后结尾有点塌了，但是前期铺陈和小段戏写得都很好，镜头运用就是基本女主视角，拍后脑勺，虚化后景，真实感怼脸的感觉。最后有点崩了，结尾可能也是不知道走向哪了，好像大家现实中面临的一样…
评论有人说是问责NHS，哪跟哪啊，明明是辱骂托利，而且骂都没骂到位。这种大题材是不是就还得留给BBC做
但后半部的突变的文艺片画风把之前好不容易营造的现实主义氛围一下拉垮冲淡了，使的朱迪对着镜头的控俗也变成了个人恩怨的发泄，拉低了原本电影所要传达的立意和主题的沉重。
时至今日再看，还是能回想起当时弥漫在整个世界的夹杂着彷徨无助和自我麻痹的末日气息。我想面对疾病束手无策的绝望感我是明白的，Judy值得一个奥斯卡。
中间反反复复循环在背景音里的NHS语音提示，想要增加焦虑感和无力感，但明明那一段其实有朱迪的表演就够了，背景音真的要多多余就有多多余；还有反复切的虚焦远景。
与上海当下高度重合的电影，更加表现出此时此景绝不只有在3月上海疫情时才会发生，任何地方都会成为电影中的场景，任何地方也都会成为3月的上海。人类在大环境下始终是渺小的个体，纵观历史大事件、灾难、战争，从无个人利益高于国家的可能。个人视角永远无法看到全局，每一个人都只是一个人，每一个人也都只能以自己的身份角色去思考问题，站得越高才能看见越多。庞大的需求量是导致援助供不应求的主要原因，任何事以“不公平”来判定始终是没有语境没有因果的片面认知。危机之中能够扛下去熬过去的人只是多了一点运气，所以自救远比就地等待援助更重要。
不知道咋打分，完全不明白想表达什么，感觉是一部我也能拍的电影，低成本、不需要调色、没剧情只需要安排好人物台词、全片几乎全是架机定位，不知道，是我水平太低，还是说有一种可能，本片只是导演完全私人的表达，小说家=导演，借小说家之口表达一些自己的想法，可这样想会不会太简单，但我真的没法看出这平淡如水的电影中包含着什么内涵，虽然说电影不一定要有什么内涵，可总要有个主题吧，不明白
纯粹的好看，人物状态极其凸显，期待他们性格的展开和碰撞，让人想透过屏幕一探究竟，看过即忘即可
完全不可能置身事外地当灾难片看
请正视存在的问题 不要只提功绩 听到了吗我的国
我要是和金敏喜谈恋爱为了她我也能坚持拍电影
前半部分打了三颗星，从那老爷子新冠开始女孩打求助电话开始不一样了，小景别手持的压迫感令人窒息
压抑绝望，聚焦新冠疫情不需要视角广立意高，能让人感同身受的永远是每一个普通人的遭遇和经历。
这口音相当硬核了。以小见大，被抛弃的养护院，从初期疫情入手，更能看到整个国家卫生体系的狼狈不堪。小变态的演技真不错！发飙的时候直接出戏到杀手可还行。
当中那段“No one's coming”的崩溃戏道出了一种全球大流行背景下普遍的心理创伤。这样一部戏，虽然质问的是NHS，但对于那些只允许存在胜利叙事的地方，反而显得更弥足珍贵。可惜结局处理得太刻意、太跳脱了，大大削弱了整个故事的现实感染力。
Help, Help, Help. 4星。
这部剧要是没有金敏喜.....但洪尚秀的电影不能没有金敏喜，他就是因金敏喜且围绕这个中心拍摄的吧。他的电影，换任何一个演员，都没法有镜头里和镜头外的那种默契和状态。
NHS算是英国人的骄傲，Tory就是拿民众的命根子做了文章成为脱欧的政治筹码，欧盟医疗人力的减少导致NHS人员短缺更加恶化，the first wave of Covid-19 几乎让NHS无计可施
我不懂什么结构不结构的，我喜欢是因为好温柔啊，金敏喜捧着花好好看
