La fosse aux serpents (1948)
Atteinte de schizophrénie, une jeune femme (Olivia) n'a plus aucun souvenir et ne reconnaît même pas son mari, Robert. Après un traitement prolongé, son état s'améliore et son mari décide de la faire passer devant la commission de l'hôpital ou elle est internée, qui décidera si elle peut être ramenée chez elle. Mal préparée, Olivia fait une rechute tragique et le traitement du docteur qui la soigne la conduira dans la salle des fous incurables. Cette épreuve sera salutaire. "Ce film est l'adaptation fidèle d'un roman écrit par une aliénée sortie d'un asile après sa guérison."
