4.0 out of 5 stars A very good performance from Olivia de Havilland, 16 Sep 2004
By Miguel M. Santos "miguelmsantos" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Although Olivia de Havilland is probably best known as Melanie from Gone with the Wind and as the love interest of Errol Flynn in many of his films, she was a quite capable actress as this film shows. Virginia Cunningham (de Havilland) suddenly realises that she is a psychiatric ward of a hospital with no recollection of how or why she got there. We join her as she has her ups and downs in her recovery, trying to figure out why she's there. The film is a good one but is not perfect. It really lives out the performance of its leading lady and a good script - and there are some hidden gems in the dialogue which you can't help laugh at. The DVD shows an impressive copy for a 1948 film, but the sound although ok didn't impress me that much. Still is worth your money if you like classic films, Olivia de Havilland or simply want to enjoy a good film.
