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.
片子还行，主要是题材优势，这种肯为底层人民发声的律师都很值得敬佩
虽然有些英雄主义，但是很多时候就是需要挺身而出的一个一个倔强之人。
前半个小时嗤之以鼻就这？越到后面越膜拜，整片节奏太好，悬念依次拉开，最后的热血也不觉得假。好片。
高水平快手正能量大电影哈哈。主角自始至终帅气高大上圣人人设略烦，好在有趣的是片子把人物弧光给了一个督察，对主角来说有了个由敌变友，对手惺惺相惜的过程，观感zer一下就上来了。其他的些许套路，反派没有强和坏，只有蠢，这点上不如一些同类型的韩片做的压迫感强和观感好。整体还是成熟好看的，受用
很印度，不过戏剧性不那么强，更加真实。社会价值大于电影价值。主角出现的似乎有点晚？看了好久才知道，哦，比姆大概是这个律师，主角也是他，而不是最后的死者。
個人觀影史第1624部。在韓國已經把直面直白地揭露制度黑暗的題材拍得家常便飯的時候，印度這邊不但沒讓人覺得這類作品爛大街，還添加了一絲性感（當然也離不開男主角律師本身就長得性感帥氣這一事實）。其實我在想的是，維護公道的過程中，聰明和正直缺一不可——不正直沒那個願心維護公道，不聰明沒那個能力維護公道。行善和公益一樣，看似門檻低，實則門檻極高。
印度现实题材的片子，永远在我心中有一席之地。
这是一个底层劳动者对真诚品质的坚持，是一个妻子对丈夫爱的坚持，是一个律师对正义公正的坚持。
把歌舞去掉，再减到90分钟，绝对很燃。总有一些人会站出来发声，这个世界不是这样。冤假错案无非是升职，政绩上的绊脚石。
种姓歧视，以权谋私，知法犯法。电影的意义大于电影本身，正义值得歌颂。万岁钱德鲁！万岁比姆！
Shame on you! 说谎话跟放屁一样，一脸正义凛然！TA们如果买通了整条证据链上的所有人和物，结果又是怎样。闭嘴，不然就杀了你！TA们在警！面前，只有低头，求饶，哪怕这样，TA们依然没有逃脱悲惨的命运，谁在乎TA是死是活！天生贱种，就因为低种姓，所以杀人放火抢劫偷窃全都是TA们的锅！永远迟到的正义！永远为下一个受害者行动，永不放弃！永远为这颗海星星努力拯救！法院给的不仅仅是判决，而是希望！愿世上多一个这样的律师，正义伸张的那一晚，我睡得无比香甜！我如何为我没有做过的事情认罪！我没有！没有！没有！当孩子问我这笔钱怎么来的，是打死你爸爸的人给的，我不可能这样活着！
你可以有一百种理由嫌弃印度，唯独印度电影不行！我们在印度电影中看到了人生的深度，也看到了这个国家的贫穷与残酷，但总有那么一丝光温暖着人心，这可能就是印度电影最大的魅力。
电影可以预见一个国家的未来。《小萝莉的猴神大叔》探讨爱、真诚、信仰。《地球上的星星》探讨对儿童的教育和关爱。《摔跤吧爸爸》探讨家庭与成长。《厕所英雄》探讨女性意识。这部探讨司法正义、个体生命尊严。这些题材我们只能呵呵了…，还哪来的勇气去嘲笑人家。
这是我看的第一部印度正剧吧。现在想来，印度电影给人最深刻的印象是一贯的喜剧风格。我喜欢那样的印度电影，有欢快的舞蹈和音乐，要表达的主题也自然地呈现出来。
钱德勒律师的行为是高尚的。但是作为一部影片，过于超级英雄的描绘，又回到了印度电影最喜欢也是最擅长的造神模式。不是说这种包装不好，只是深知“本来就没有什么救世主”之后，总感觉略有不妥。外加核心案件中，三坏警的失误过于低级，使得整个抗击过程都仿佛撞了大运一样，很难看到这个烂透的体系。
当导演想在现实情况和电影艺术表达中寻求一个平衡的时候，一切悲怆的情绪爆发，一个英雄般的人物诞生，这个电影就感性了。#8.0分#
我总觉得imdb对印度电影的评分偏高，这个不算
难受得我一度看不下去！！那些畜牲的行径令人发指！判得真的太轻了！怎么不打回去啊！尤其是那个脱女人裙子侮辱女性的畜牲，真是惩罚太轻了。
还有人为不平等在战斗，即使是烂到骨子里的封建制度。
丑陋不堪的种姓制度是印度社会的一大顽疾，官官相护的腐败政府，正义之光在呼唤着人性的良知，向詹德鲁律师致敬！
