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.
国产剧中也算中资之作，打斗场面虽然爽快，但剧本的缺陷很明显
整体虽然有网大必然的弱剧情，短平快，但如果你要求低自然得到就会变多
2000年 的片子 的感觉 打戏还挺流畅的
皑皑雪地杀人时，烈酒一刀成焰的设计不错。
很不错，不啰嗦不煽情不卖惨……动作灯光镜头剪辑都很棒！
画风我个人比较喜欢，兼之这两年实在没啥好的武侠片，打分高一点。
前段时间看完青面修罗后，感叹过中国武侠渐凋零，现在来看，也许也没有那么不堪吧。
故事很简单，但挺好的。简单的故事套路，也好过没能力且瞎几把编。动作设计很有亮点，美术和打光很有想法，整体是电影质感，不再网大质感。最后一场甚至微微有《罪恶之城》的质感。情感虽不算加分，但也算到位，强权欺压和暴起反抗，虽然燃感还差一点。确实网大天花板水平了，魏君子还是好好做网络点播吧。
好一幅大唐侠客行的风骨。
故事俗套，动作戏不错，捉刀任侠。名字取得太拉了，你叫捉刀人都比这个强。
从<剑雨>以后 到徐浩峰武林三部曲以后 难得看到这么过瘾的动作武侠电影了.
本片有浓浓的电影质感，如果不说是网大电影，会觉得这是标准的院线电影，看不出网大的粗糙痕迹，从始至终拍摄和制作得都很用心，比很多院线上上映的武侠片的质量度都要高。
我追求的不是所谓的一波三折，只是胸中一口浩然正气。所以，虽然故事简单，但是我很喜欢。
《独立制作》、《冷门佳作》、《国产武侠剧的良心》
谢苗真的太缺好片拍了，可惜啊，这本子就是镖人+龙飞+浪客剑心
故事很一般，武打很欣赏；
除了故事简陋了些，剧组看起来挺穷的以外其他都不错，最后一战的武指/美术/运镜都很喜欢，谢苗有李连杰那时候的味儿了，整个让我想到座头市，可以拍下去，爱看。
一部好看的武侠电影，看得出导演有态度有想法，故事有点短没看够，江湖侠义之士路见不平，拔刀相助成瞎子太帅了！如果可能拍个系列吧！ps：有几个场景构图画面真是太美了！
很不错，不啰嗦不煽情不卖惨……动作灯光镜头剪辑都很棒！
大制作们看看，还要不要点逼脸啊！
