Description
Release Date: 23 August 2004
Adapted from Mary Jane Ward's autobiographical novel, Anatole Litvak's The Snake Pit is a vital precursor to Samuel Fuller's Shock Corridor in its concern with issues relating to mental illness.
An Oscar nominated Olivia de Havilland stars as Virginia, an outwardly normal woman whose marriage to a caring husband (Mark Stevens) unravels when her behaviour becomes erratic. On professional advice Virginia is committed to an overcrowded state hospital where she encounters the bullying antics of the resentful matrons and the threat of the fearsome snake pit, an open room where the most deranged cases are held.
A groundbreaking picture in its pleas for a better understanding of mental health and depression, The Snake Pit is a powerful melodrama that still packs a mighty emotional punch.
