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.
舞蹈场面的调度超级棒，满满的青春荷尔蒙迸发感，但是没有舞蹈的部分（尤其是最后一段）显得十分乏味，舞台剧痕迹掩盖了电影蒙太奇的光芒，男女主的演技甚至比不上几个配角。抢枪那段舞蹈让我想起了“你们不要再打了啦”～
★★★★★十颗星送给Mike Faist绝妙的歌舞和表演！两极交战的痛苦观感，精妙绝伦的调度、摄影、服装、编舞，舞台布景彻底转为cinema的催眠，只有复杂微妙深不可测的视觉技巧才能做到，旧好莱坞的回魂仪式徐徐掀起幕布。但是魔法师执着推移造梦轨道，星尘却荡然无存，驱动咒语失声在任何精确到毫厘的浪漫方程式都无法补救的男女主角化学反应的先天厄运，消音在顶级制作亦难以遮掩的致命唱跳短板，而翻新期许被不可抗力导致的错误选角和保守的种族性别的多重隐语移植再造所扑灭。不同于音乐优先的默认语法，肢体碰撞之间汹涌的爱恨世仇和喷溅的荷尔蒙成为叙事行进的鼓点和层次，瓦砾和盐尘破败颓废却生机灼热的美学表达呼之欲出。几段载入影史级别的典范配合回想起来只是因为有Mike Faist在其中。很遗憾，这本可以是一部杰作。
女主演得不行，男主全都不行，其他部分就还挺好。
小哥俩抢枪的那段明明是大晴天，为什么有一种倾盆大雨的既视感。6
他/她们在对话的同时在歌唱，他/她们在斗争的同时在舞蹈，他/她们在享受激情的同时在承受苦难，多么的理所当然却又难以置信！正如歌舞片的《西区故事》是电影的同时是一首音乐，是一场舞蹈一样。斯皮尔伯格让观众重回古典好莱坞，并让人们再一次确信，电影必须是关于爱的艺术。
用导演过往作品作为评判标准的心理有失偏颇，其实没有那么不堪，但在视觉和叙述之间产生了一种割裂感。大部分人诟病它是因为其过时而理想化的剧情，不可否认的是视觉语言的炉火纯青。只能说适合放松自己无脑欣赏歌舞，不适合深究人物动机及行为。一旦接受了本片享受视听盛宴的设定，几场重头戏可谓目不暇接，人物和情节的张力也都大多拿捏得当，抛却男女主演技舞蹈歌喉外还是有许多可圈可点之处
再也不相信豆瓣评分了，真的很好看啊！！！
There's no right or wrong
156分钟全程无法入戏，或许是电影的歌舞升平与现实的悲惨世界格格不入，或许是电影的主旋律zz正确与现实的种族撕裂相去甚远，又或许单纯是作为歌舞片缺乏入耳的旋律和养眼的俊男美女，女主的颜值只要close-up马上有fast-forward的冲动。作为没有看过经典老版作对比的观众只能欣赏史匹堡在大场面舞蹈中的镜头和调度，这样的欣赏价值似乎远远不够。
喜欢编舞，是我心目中西区故事的模样。男主啥东西，这里还可以通过唱唱歌掩盖一下拙劣的演技，tokyo vice里面就完全不能看了。
很爱1961年那版电影，但不妨碍我享受新版的乐趣。新版也做到了更大更亮更美，同时承载着同样的精神。镜头从一开始就让纽约的贫民窟与舞者一起活络起来。每个镜头、编舞、调度和灯光，都能感受到斯皮尔伯格对好莱坞黄金时代、音乐剧&歌舞片的爱与尊重，尤其是场面调度没得说，伦纳德·伯恩斯坦的音乐旋律也焕发了新生。而且导演把女性主义、种族主义等做了大融合。但它还是无法与老版相比拟，没有那种魔力。我觉得男主的选角是失败的，艾尔高特缺乏自我表达，更缺乏声乐能力，他演唱的古典歌曲听起来迟钝，缺乏个性。基于此，他与瑞秋·泽格勒的“化学反应”也受到了影响。btw: 和原版一样，我仍然爱女二。
这些年轻人真是用实力演绎“不作不死”。。还行，年轻演员们表现的还不错，斯皮尔伯格拍的也不错，但是整体给人的观感也就是还行。原版的没看过，无法对比，有时间看看。
不要插手你妹妹的闲事，否则你会被人捅死。你被捅死当晚你妹妹还会跟杀死你的凶手啪啪啪，再被你老婆抓到。你老婆抓到以后还会被你妹妹劝去给凶手传信，顺便差点被凶手的同伙们轮奸。天要下雨，娘要嫁人，为难别人就是害自己。阿弥陀佛。
精致但无法被打动。舞蹈编排精彩。另外感觉安塞尔演技再好点，外形上比奥斯汀适合演猫王。
太尴尬了，这是什么幼稚又过时的剧情，连带的所有角色都跟白痴一样，理解不能，音乐也就那样，真的是期望越高失望越大。
d+这个nc subtitle，我是因为听不懂说的西语还是啥语言才看字幕。结果呢，英配字幕出的是那种语言依旧看不懂，中文字幕直接跳过，专挑英文的出翻译，我寻思你这字幕配的相关人员是不是该去喂猪啊？！仗着西语第二语言以为人人比英语还都会呗？？而且说真的，前面这一言不合就打架，打不了就斗舞，喂喂你们这样是死不了人的吧，后面cliche Romeo Juliet，no big deal。男主有点点眼熟，还有点好感，女主就不太符合我审美但是也不是很难看，就是emmmm耗子这pc为了pc而pc有点太没限度了，令人反感
技术没毛病 故事有大病 动机不自洽 逻辑wtf
除了两段大型男女混舞场面基本都是中二垃圾
如果忽略这个老成的故事，整部电影最大缺陷就是男女主了，两人的感情在故事中本身就是一见钟情的设定，但被两人演绎的像是强扭的西瓜，看着很拧巴。
而片中波多黎各移民对于彼时生活在美国多好多好的歌颂，也早已经早已经过了时，现在恐怕再也没人能把那些唱词夸的出口了。
