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.
每次看唐顿，看到所有人都能拥抱充满希望的新生活，迈入柳暗花明的新纪元，每个人都有光明的未来，作为观众特别开心。
从婚礼到葬礼，大幕落下，是观众还舍不得这个戏吧
Downtown lives forever in my heart.
想去南法！小茶杯的发际线啊… 一下没认出来。最喜欢的角色就是奶奶了，想看奶奶年轻的时候的故事。想看 Daisy 的婚礼没看到哼。大家一起拍电影太好玩了。
这久违的亲切感像是时隔三年与因新冠远隔重洋的远房老亲戚们重聚。连巴罗都老了。特别是在今时今日这种什么都不可相信、什么都可崩塌的气氛里，有那么些在时代更替中尚固执不变的保守可靠品质和人事物，格外叫人安心，窝心。
但老夫人的去世却很让我感伤，尤其当我想起今年去世的妈妈，眼泪一下子就止不住了。
以下涉及剧透
9.0
三星感情分，最爱仆人们上镜扮贵族和Maggie Smith所有戏份，不过编剧委实技穷了，副线硬要tie下电影史也是尬到不行。最狗血的非某段旧情，而是前一秒刚“辟谣”伯爵夫人患癌，接着就让老夫人原地领便当，你看这写法多离谱！(明知看✂️版如吃苍蝇还是没忍住，我有罪我悔过
内容上，老爷发现自己有可能是私生子的时候第一反应是自己是个混血私生子有没有继承权？后面还硬圆回来说我很高兴我是我爸的儿子，真下头啊...夫人对老爷的爱还是真是感人啊，I have money and you're in need of it...还有还有托马斯的情节又删了是吗？我不理解...还有玛丽老公演员是没档期吗，怎么两部都不好好参演，给我一种丧偶式婚姻的感觉，我当时就想不如跟这电影导演两个过浪漫生活了，让我很不爽。
以婚礼开始，以葬礼结束，中间以一段拍电影让楼下的仆人跨越阶层，盛装出席，举杯同庆，每个人都真诚对待生活，让爱消弭杂音。
电影版会有第三集吗？我觉得够呛，应该到此为止了。
剧情很平，不过能和自己喜欢的人物告别，是唐顿粉丝的福利。
这一部突然发现老爷和Mary都有了不少岁月的痕迹，开始变老，想起当年追第一个圣诞特辑的种种回忆，这么多年对Mary的欣赏一直未变，她是一个就算独自一人也会永远潇洒优雅扛起全家的那个人，以及Violet / Maggie，我依然无法想象不再有你的那一天。
鲍嘉式的Guy男一号
感觉这个系列已经有些苍白吃力略显疲态了，但这是满洲里在第四次解封后我看的第一部电影，翻遍了“正在上映”列表实在是没有更有吸引力的选项了。但看着最后滚动的字幕条，看着那么多人的努力和心血还是想高呼，电影真棒！能看电影真好！电影万岁！
蛮有趣的，又是皆大欢喜的结局，挺好。一个世代的落幕，又拉开新时代的序幕，生生不息。
唐顿庄园的故事从1912年泰坦尼克号沉船开始，到这一部来到了1928年，电影都从默片到了有声时代，或许这就是“新纪元”
Again情怀分，导演差不多得了哈，确实没啥新花样了，适可而止吧，这已经是最好的结局了。
怕看重复！标记一下！听说是tv11-14集 就不看啦
