Simmons is magnetic as Charlotte, her lovely, delicate face reflecting the inner turmoil of a woman battling for sanity after she walks out of a mental institution.
A young woman returns home after being institutionalized in a mental hospital. Director Mervyn LeRoy's 1958 drama stars Jean Simmons, Dan O'Herlihy, Rhonda Fleming, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Joanna Barnes, Mabel Albertson, Stephen Dunne, Marjorie Bennett, Kathryn Card, Joan Weldon and Eleanor Audley.
The outdated treatments mentioned that are supposedly used in the mental hospital might frighten some viewers.
The Danvers Mental Hospital building is rather creepy, as is the atmosphere of the film itself.
