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.

意想不到的还蛮好看的哦 我还以为日本没有好看的电影了呢（
2分都给了夏洛特·兰普林，傲骨的英气死也要像个胜利的战士一样手握主动权。除此之外的布景服饰背乐都没有什么出彩的地方，到是这个剧情差的“可圈可点” 人物的背景铺陈不够，导致人设的转变可谓毫无头绪的急转弯，很跳戏。
愛情如櫻花般在最燦爛的瞬間轉瞬即逝，松本穗香太符合我心中櫻花妹的長相了🥺🥺，以日式純愛片來說拍的不過不失，前期戀愛好看，後期過於拖拉，導致節奏失衡（日本片通病，導演技法也過於平庸）。倒是櫻花美景真的美不勝收，松本穗香的顏值對的起櫻花妹這個稱號——我的櫻花戀人
在火光中跳舞 在日出时死亡 杜松子酒是我想平静也愿疯狂
演技方面：kento头一次主演，还是电影，这种发挥已经算不错了。做到了电影里没有违和感。看得出有点天分，不过下意识的抿嘴真的需要改改。其余的演员没的说，尤其是望月步和山田杏奈，有几个镜头真的很好。
原来努力去做真的会进步啊～希望岛健以后能接更好的剧本。
爱而不得，转瞬即逝，美丽而早逝，枯萎又错过
Ps、谁说的松本穗香是女版贺来贤人啊啊啊，越看越像啊啊啊我受不了了。
I want one more passionate love affair.
日本描述此类情节的片子也算不少了，这部算是小清新。感觉自己被忽视，被周遭人嫌弃的高二学生选择自杀，在管理员的帮助下给了他100天时间去调查真相，实际是给他一百天时间和一个旁观者的身份去重新审视自己的人生。每个人，都有人爱的……珍惜人生，珍惜眼前人……
最酷的奶奶，看似蛮横不讲理的外表，其实内心有很多的精彩。
校园问题作为题材真的是永远都不会过时怎么挖都可以，这次挖到了个人责任的头上了。
有点失望 做作。结尾的日出死亡是我能想到最美好的离世了，三分给这个结尾和奶奶打枪那一幕
但是但是但是，跟望月步并排的时候完全被压了，望月步情绪几转上扬非常的自然又很能共鸣，完全就是哥哥本人。
在主人公身上看到以前的自己，好细腻的情感，佩服日本人叙事的方法🤔
我想说这是一部关于“生命力”的电影。不可回逆的身体的老去，依然有机会展现自己年轻的心态。
奶奶很酷，角色设定也很酷，可是没拍出来这种酷
电影出来了，原小说我还没看完。小说说实在的写得挺普通的，日式纯爱就像飘在天上的云，看得见摸不着，还得抬头仰望的那种不切实际，拍出来有的地方竟然也有点让我感动。
其实衰老与死亡并不令我害怕 我害怕的只是不能优雅及有尊严的老去和离开！
