Based on Mary Jane Ward's best-selling novel, the film "The Snake Pit", which follows the story of a woman grappling with mental illness, broke cinematic ground with its unflinching portrayal of the sometimes inhumane practices of psychiatric care. Olivia de Havilland is superb in the lead and was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar. The film was nominated for five other Oscars including Picture, Director and Writing. Good supporting cast includes Mark Stevens, Leo Genn and Celeste Holm.
