剧情介绍

  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.

    如果这个世界的公平和正义是用金钱收买和法律工作者作伪证才能实现的,那这个这还算是真正的TMD公平和正义么?!着这群老戏骨的演技点赞,智叔在这部人生收尾之作中表现堪称完美,方中信曾经那么大的一位帅哥,可惜也终于老了。没有对比就没有伤害,反观那几位年轻演员,简直太业余了,香港电影没有未来了

  • 单碧春 0小时前 :

    廖启智老师的遗作,默哀。影片整体有些中规中矩,不需要猜测的犯人,不需要猜测的手法,不需要猜测的最终反杀,所有的剧情都是在套路中完成,甚至最后本身应该成为的高潮戏,也因为律师的手法,以及并没有任何的辩论环节(直接通过自爆来直接定罪),而显得没有高潮,甚至会有点小尴尬的感觉,正邪双方的斗争,最后也变成了正也需要邪化,才能斗得过邪,缺乏那种“邪不胜正”的爽感,反派人物除了恶之外,也缺乏更多的人物弧光,看不到恶之外的东西,没有灰色地带,同时对于政治选举、黑金、贫富差距等问题也没有什么深度的探讨,整体看下来确实是有些平平无奇了,也就演员们的演技是非常值得称赞的。

    -冲着智叔最后一部电影

  • 寻雯华 7小时前 :

    电影本身真的是模式化痕迹过重,全靠一群老戏骨演技支撑。

  • 斐从蕾 9小时前 :

    不过,比起有权人杀了有钱人,穷人被顶包,最终得平反的戏码,我更想知道穷人要是动了他们任何一方的利益会怎样?

  • 卢竹悦 1小时前 :

    还好吧,律政强人电影版。方中信怎么又年轻啦。曾江更老啦。智叔还是那么好演技。

  • 商妍芳 0小时前 :

    看完感觉蛮复杂的心情,提到鸡蛋跟高墙的对立,结果打败高墙的是团伙的内讧,以及用伪造证据的手法。程序非正义的正义是不是正义?

  • 呈家 3小时前 :

    从电影的角度来说,这个收尾真是很牵强,但同为父母,我倒是能理解这样的安排和表达。

    掲露香港几个问题:

  • 妍洲 5小时前 :

    有钱有办法,没钱基本法。太过理想主义的洗脑片,现实中,廖启智的代表的资本阶层怎么可能因为女儿的去世和权贵阶层决裂的。

  • 度承平 5小时前 :

    剧情有点简单,但这是时隔好久第一次有兴致看完的电影,还是酷的。

  • 信振 9小时前 :

    香港律政对决片。一起谋杀案被人隐瞒了真相,想让人顶罪,热心律师抽丝剥茧,最后将真凶绳之于法的故事

  • 僪智敏 2小时前 :

    从19年到21年,鸡蛋与高墙,又是权钱交易又是黑警的,还有方中信最后的独白金句,十分切合时势了。开头一段交叉剪接本来拍得好好的,接着却很快把陈家乐的角色放在了次要位置,然后又生硬地把两位大状的取态近乎是调转了。整个故事走向和人物塑造,也很粗糙跳跃,无法令人信服。电影最后对鸡蛋撼高墙争取公义貌似给出了一丝希望,只是很讽刺地香港以后还会不会有这样题材的电影都是未知之数吧。

  • 弥依晨 5小时前 :

    好烂的故事。低智的悬疑部分,羸弱的法庭辩白部分,僵硬的"天降神兵"部分,尴尬的自白正义部分……莫名其妙,浪费时间。

  • 佴哲思 5小时前 :

    就很中规中矩,正义的伸张还是要靠权势和金钱,演员俺好喜欢🥰

  • 府曼珠 7小时前 :

    失去一切的父亲谁都控不住呀! 对有钱有势的杀人犯敲诈勒索,纯自找领盒饭呀! 普通人泡妞有风险呀,哈哈哈哈! 还好受害者也是富二代! 标准港剧!

  • 坤运 2小时前 :

    现在的港片又到了需要强心剂的年代,后劲愈发不足了。这不仅仅是编剧的事情,更是包括剪辑在内一众团队都需要思考的问题。

  • 利涵桃 8小时前 :

    就是标准港片的模式~啊!我方中信为什么还是那么帅~然后居然还能看到廖启智智叔!唉😮‍💨

  • 乌雅子怡 4小时前 :

    看了開頭基本上就猜到了結尾。大致劇情就是權二代殺了富二代小三,為了不影響選舉,嫁禍給了沒錢沒勢的窮人,最後正義戰勝了黑暗,把殺人貪汙受賄的骯臟都抖了出來。作為揭開黑暗的男主雷有輝,在片尾有一段很突兀的慷慨陳詞,這個角色也像是擁有金手指一般似的,接受案件之前就是能連贏12場的高能律師,搜查證據的過程也沒有更好細節化呈現出來,而是直接走個過程給個結果,不夠得勁。

    经典港片过时套路 用钱换来最后的真相也挺讽刺的 亮点可能只有两个老戏骨船上的对峙了
