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.
感觉第二部比第一部好点，主要是剧情更紧凑了。
依然是众星云集，剧情紧凑，但是推理的过程稍微潦草了点。虽然角色隐藏在假面之后，但是演员的气场隐藏不住啊（佳乃姐和久美子）
你们这个酒店真的不去看看风水吗（。虽然不知道凶手是谁，但起码猜到了泽村一树是来干嘛的。笑死了。乱七八糟的线头太多，前十分钟根本都是废的，能理解是为了让明星都露个脸，但在收束叙事上完全不合格。不过木村乱撩人跳探戈结果被对方逼着跳女步（应该？）我笑吐了。
为什么最后要莫名其妙约饭？？？拜托不要有牵强的感情线球球了
看到这觉得这两部电影最大冲突与张力就在于，极度维护隐私的酒店方与探究隐秘的警察间的碰撞。真正的故事藏于隐秘之中，悬疑只是表象。木村的演技还是欣赏不来。
小季评分：6.4
看过原著之后就不太期待了。确实，不是演员的问题。
看过书，只记得手表有玄机，别的忘得干干净净，还跟第一部记混了。这样看起来反而轻松一点。最不明白的是这部的镜头风格，非常怪异。小日向文世真可爱呀！
和前作一样能看，但是总差一口气，结局太磨叽…
大排场的无聊剧，找了很多事做让自己忍住不要中途起身。动机完全站不住脚。中村安挑了半天舞的意义???
原著是续集电影自然也是续集，一切都延续了第一集的阵容又讲了一个故事，本次倒是没那么多与主线无关的内容，推理破案部分有些弱，不过看过原著也知道改了不少，鉴于原著到此为止要不要把《假面前夜》拍成个电视剧？
秋刀鱼出场笑死，又一部👀卡司猜凶手+n
没有上一部好看，但阵容依旧豪华。光看这个系列就得感慨，日本演艺界的美魔女可真多啊，一个个比之年轻时清汤挂面的样子风味都更佳。这一部的鱼叔终于一眼就看见了。
这个系列就是酒店宣传片吧，推理的部分好想吐槽男主都认定凶手了还非要一起跳舞，女主也是命硬的。。。
好无聊的电影，好无语的凶手动机，就是看全明星演员露脸，就看看我麻酱
故事是新的，可主题内核还是前作那些关于酒店文化和警察职责的互文关系。于是《假面之夜》就完全成了《假面饭店》单纯的创作升级。围绕一晚的时间，在明处清晰的酒店和警察两方，以及不断变换的嫌疑人。续集在叙事节奏和故事架构，甚至人物塑造上，都要比前作提升很多。更加清晰也更加工整，但是这部作品的格局就是及格分的体量，即便把最终反转悬疑做到了，可依旧不够精彩，也不够戳人。这种结果其实多少个日本创作理念相关，不是更追求强烈的戏剧冲突，而是有人物内在逻辑作为戏剧基础。但“假面”系列恰恰就是把人文关怀都挂在嘴上，看着好看，实则根本没有充足的笔墨来塑造人物，就更别提内在逻辑了，都是表面尊重的花架式。
也许因为看到恶评有心里准备了，意外觉得还挺好看的？要在2小时里讲十个人物数千万年的历史，其实挺不容易的。也没觉得人物平面，群像做的还是不错的，这些神一般的角色也很人性化，多元化。总之是个爱与家人的故事。
依旧是麻酱跟风被害的结局，也没有拍出麻酱的美
傻逼海报，嫌犯500人，堆了一大堆铁定不是嫌犯的角色，过程比前作还要无聊，麻酱的颜也彻底撑不住了…
比第一部更好看，因为剧情节奏要紧凑很多。上一部正餐是介绍酒店服务，附赠破案。这一部刚好反过来。不过推理依然较为牵强。
