Great movie highlighting the injustices that occur in mental institutions in the early days. Great performance by Olivia De havilland. A great watch.

I'll tell you where it's gonna end, Miss Somerville... When there are more sick ones than well ones, the sick ones will lock the well ones up.

The Snake Pit is directed by Anatole Litvak and adapted to screenplay by Frank Partos, Millen Brand and Arthur Laurents from the novel written by Mary Jan More
