Movies Watched -- The Snake Pit (1948)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

108 minute running time … I went to 4x fast forward after a full half hour of normal speed and don’t regret it … a mental illness picture from the 1940s … interesting to see the shock treatments and ice baths … Olivia De Havilland was treated better than the other inmates because she was better looking and listened to Brahms. It was probably an impressive picture for its day, but I couldn’t get into it and don’t recommend it, though John Farr does. You can’t win ‘em all, even when you have Farr screening them for you.
