• Well-intentioned film, merit in the way it shows us what psychiatric institutions were like at the time and the fantastic performance of Olivia De Havilland, in the role of Virginia. However, the film fails in how it "solves" the problem of Virginia's disease. After all, even excessive, sequences of Virginia's forgetfulness and confusion, her "cure" is resolved abruptly, very "in haste," and unconvincing. It was worth the director little ability to give credibility to Virginia's improvement through Dr. Kik's psychoanalysis. It was all very fast, the previous development of the film, sometimes even too slow, did not leave this anticipation so fast and implausible based on 1 or 2 flashbacks from when Virginia was a child. Still, a movie that deserves to be seen by the virudes I mentioned above.
