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.
最后的庭审群像仿佛油画
哇好棒的电影，这么繁杂的故事都被讲得明明白白~这个故事告诉我们司法系统、警察什么的如果没有完善体制，难道要指着执行人的道德约束吗？那怎么可能靠得住。这个可怕的一个人（没有基本人格人品的人）居然能当上大法官，成功让司法和行政搅和在一起，成为权力游戏的走狗，这难道不违宪？你们引以为傲的三权分立又在哪里呢。
最后歌曲响起很感动，虽然对那段历史不太了解，也看得出是美国一贯的电影风格，追求自由才是宪法精神。
太久没看柯南了，看评分这么高慕名来看，整体破案真相可谓令人挠破头都想不到，因为太扯了...悬念制造的还是挺好的，果然最后不扯的话逻辑无法圆下来。出场人物众多，补充了很多主线上的伏笔。隔了快十年没看，没想到新一和小兰才亲上，哈哈，也真是唏嘘，满脑子都是自己当初看柯南时的悸动。
工整之余灵感乍现，而且非常好看。“你是在蔑视你的GOV吗？”“比起我的GOV对我的蔑视，我的蔑视不值一提。”
好看！就是Mark Rylance怎么越来越像赵本山了？
在这个时间点放出这样一部电影 政治意涵不言自明 但能影响的往往是不需要被影响的人 只为echo valley里再多一道响声
说到底是政治审判，改变了什么吗，好像也没有。
不过群众对抗体制的“二元论”类型片真的是完美戳我个人的G点

电影充分表达了现实的可悲，反战又如何，老话说的好“狗改不了吃屎”，表面光鲜正确的蒙太奇下，现实是如此地无力呢！
7.5分。有Aaron Sorkin做编剧，这片子差不了。但比较让我意外的是原本以为的法庭上的唇枪舌战并没有发生，故事更多表现的是人物的抗争，以及不同思潮之间的对立与融合。 Abbie Hoffman无疑是所有人中最耀眼的，但当年他所希望的革命最终也没入了主流，可能也正因此他只有一个自尽的结局吧。反倒是略为蛇鼠两端的 Tom Hayden最终夺取了权力，这未免有些太讽刺了。
看了20分钟以为这么愚蠢unethical的法官是编的 结果居然是真的…
稀缺良知啊 多么炽热。你能看见持有各种不同政治立场的人在对抗体系里腐朽的人 他们采取的方式和所希翼的结果是不同的 但是他们都具有良知 所以七君子在歇斯底里的争锋与辩驳后 却能体会对方的内心 却能在结尾“同仇敌忾”―发出敬畏生命的呐喊。同老师聊起它 聊起反抗的土壤如果换成中国会是如何光景 老师笑了 我也笑了 我们扯了不同的体制和差异性文化土壤 聊起近代史的革命历程 试图为现如今紧绷的思想控制辩驳 也试图理解那些历史洪流中被篡改和隐藏的细节 可内心却还在“蠢蠢欲动”到底什么才是最重要的呢 是汤姆还是艾比呢？但现实中我们都了解你没有选择权 甚至连表达的权利都会被扼杀。勇气是极难得的品质 它和良知一样稀缺。
感觉小雀斑随时都会唱起来：red, the blood of angry men🌝🌝
大选之前上线，再应景不过。每个人都有发声的权利，“全世界都在看”，嘤嘤其名，求其友声。
外国的月亮圆不圆也不好说，但是起码能把月亮给你看呀。
他从来知道这是一场政治审判
赢家也从未是他//
