A young woman tries to recover her sanity in a corrupt mental institution.

Directed by Anatole Litvak

Starring Olivia de Havilland, Mark Stevens, Leo Genn, Celeste Holm, Beulah Bondi, and Lee Patrick.

A dramatic best-seller, The Snake Pit vividly depicts one woman's plunge into the nightmare world of the mentally ill and her agonizing climb back to health and freedom.

When it was first published, the book claimed attention as a moving study of mental illness based on personal knowledge.

A fictionalized, brilliant, and uncompromising first-person account of madness and life in an insane asylum.
