Description:
Virginia Cunningham (de havilland) appeared to have had an idyllic life - a nice home, a loving husband and prospects for a sriting career. But, something just wasn't right. Confusion, doubts about her husband's love, even violent outbursts led Virginia to be confined in a mental institution. She is put through a series of brutal treatments, including being forced into close quarters with patients whose disorders far exceed her own. The belief - the shock of the experience will return her to sanity.

Rating:  - de Havilland is Superb
I would recommend this film for classic film fans only--and even then, I was disappointed.
The film opens in an amazing scene: the beautiful, yet tormented looking, Virginia seems to awaken from some sleep or haze on a park bench. She hears a voice. She is not quite sure where she is, or what she is doing...The mystery of it all draws you into this truly amazing story.
We learn where Virginia is, but not why she is there just yet. She is in a state mental hospital. ... Read More
Rating:  - Movie: SnakePit
I saw this movie in the early 60's and was amazed at it's intensity! Unbelievable film so far ahead of its time in 1948.
Rating: - Welcome to hell!
The Snake Pit starring Olivia de Havilland is a seething and shocking film of its time. de Havilland carries this film from beginning to end, she brings kindness but built-up tension to the film. Her character suffers from mental illness and the title says it all, I wouldn't want to go down in the snake pit either! Creepy but profound film, give it a chance.
Rating:  - Great for Psych. class !
A great movie for your high school psychology class. Lots of Freud stuff along with Erickson and Maslow. Kids even liked it !
