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.
这个跟哈利波特一样都是传奇电影！哥特式家族！
君子于役，不知其期。曷至哉？鸡栖于埘。日之夕矣，羊牛下来。君子于役，如之何勿思！
东木一如既往的稳，整体看完就是扎实，有事就找老牛仔，啥事都是搞定，怪不得女人都想睡他。也不知道这是不是老爷子最后一部，反正导演椅就是他最好的归宿。
哈哈 这才是真Doctor Dolittle的的奇幻冒险
把亞當斯一家的人物特點拍出來，然後瞎扯個劇本
哥特家庭走出家门除了古董车酷炫暗黑作风荡然无存
熬夜看完的2个动画电影，暗黑童话的风格，画风超级可爱ớ ₃ờ。
东木拍一部少一部了，真不该把精力浪费在这样平庸的项目上，与《骡子》和《理查德朱维尔的哀歌》相比创作力是断崖式的下滑。但一些片段还挺感人的，“我不知道怎么治愈老”，“男子气概被高估了，它没什么了不起的”。
咖啡馆投影仪想看91年那部结果点出来是这部只能硬着头皮看了QAQ
漸入佳境，大章魚挺好玩的，本週內第二次看到高領毛衣喬-當boss 模板了
哥特主题电影最后变成巨型八爪鱼大战异型大公鸡，编剧实在是太弱智，照着原来的真人版重拍一遍动画都比这强
剧情是略显俗套的老少配公路片，少年获得温暖与成长，老者散发余热光芒；老牛仔的片子看一部少一部。
“我不知道怎么治愈“老”，但今晚你们也许应该睡在一块儿。” 连稍微复杂的叙事策略都放下了，余下的反而是生命再次面向无限可能性的力量，“老去”的未来并非只剩下死亡。《Cry Macho》——多tough的片名！你看，老牛仔从不直露'soft' 。
在精灵旅社4后面看的，相比于精灵旅社温情的故事，这个暗黑幽默的动画片更加精彩。搞怪可爱的一家子。
我不知道怎么治愈老 但今晚你们也许应该睡一块儿 东木90岁还在拍片出片 我们哪有闲工夫泡妞
和第一部比起来差多了，套用了万能公路片的套路，很多细节差强人意
这部更像是长得奇奇怪怪的一家人一起推一条拍过很多遍的剧情线了，公路旅行家庭关系疯狂科学家。。每个人在这一过程中的反应也都太正常人了。或许是因为我预设的期待值过高吧
看了第一集愛上了Addams Family的人設，今次可能期望太高，沒有了Addams Family的感覺，就是普通的動畫片，有點悶，連笑點都不多。為什麼不好好利用他們有趣的人設？
老爷子终是在这部片子里，步履蹒跚力不从心了。
拆散了伊斯特伍德的老元素，拍得像个儿童喜剧，由于台词需要转译，所以电影以老者的节奏留出了空间供人细嚼慢咽。缺点在于小演员的状态总在可爱与做作（英语台词和反应镜头）间反复横跳。
