Once grand shocker is dated now but detached retains the unpleasantness and emotional tugs that must have riveted audiences in 1948. Olivia de Havilland gives an Oscar nominated performance as Virginia, a woman confined to a area mental hospital after a mental breakdown. As she struggles to understand what happened to her and procure her sanity through the kindliness and patience of a very belief doctor, we are treated to the horrors and inhumanity of a place hospital circa 1948. Hissably inferior nurses, shock treatments, unpleasant food, overcrowding, ice baths and finally “the snake pit”—you name it and Virginia goes through it. Luckily, she has a very loving husband who waits for her to “arrive home”. de Havilland is friendly and if the film (and performances) seems dated, this was 1948 and mental illness was a recent frontier being brought out into the begin and frankly explored by Hollywood. It’s possible to imagine a location hospital being this horrific in the behind 40’s. Supporting cast is delicate but Celeste Holm is wasted in a little fragment as a fellow patient and disappears altogether. The finale, station at a dance for the patients, features the musty tearjerker “Goin’ Home” (which, incidentally, is about dying) done to effectively emotional heights about finally being released and “going home”. This film is a classic of it’s kind and is given a stunning DVD treatment and I very noteworthy recommend it for movie buffs and fans of de Havilland. I tranquil net parts of it intense and disturbing, so if it unruffled has that enact after all these years I can only imagine what it must have been like in 1948.
Olivia deHavilland shows her acting chops in “The Snake Pit,” a harrowing ogle at mental illness, circa 1948. Possess me, if you have to go insane, impartial be thankful we’re in the Current Millennium, and not in post-War America! “The Snake Pit” is wonderfully acted by all concerned, but it is deHavilland’s showcase, and she does a well-behaved job. In fact, I was quite impressed with her range and dramatic ability…this is no “Melanie” from “Gone With the Wind!” Alas, “The Snake Pit” is extremely dated, but I recommend it for deHavilland’s startling performance. Really, it’s extremely modern to watch such power in an actress from the “venerable” school of demure acting. Livvy was nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award and certainly deserved to accept, in my humble view. She’s remarkable better in this than in “The Heiress” (though I adore that film, too, for different reasons) . Check this out–you won’t be disappointed!
