Watch: The Snake Pit 1948 123movies, Full Movie Online – Virginia Cunningham finds herself in a state insane asylum…and can’t remember how she got there. In flashback, her husband Robert relates their courtship, their marriage, and her developing symptoms. The asylum staff are not demonized, but fear, ignorance, and regimentation keep Virginia in a state of misery as pipe-smoking Dr. Mark Kik struggles through wheels within wheels to find the root of her problem. Then a relapse plunges Virginia back into the harrowing ‘Snake Pit.’.
Plot: Virginia Cunningham is confused upon finding herself in a mental hospital, with no memory of her arrival at the institution. Tormented by delusions and unable to even recognize her husband, Robert, she is treated by Dr. Mark Kik, who is determined to get to the root of her mental illness. As her treatment progresses, flashbacks depict events in Virginia’s life that may have contributed to her instability.

Groundbreaking
I think one of the most terrifying things that could happen to a person is to be incarcerated in an institution where you have been judged, but you don’t have the wherewithal to defend yourself. Olivia De Havilland’s character is institutionalized, through her husband’s actions, and doesn’t know why. As she wades through her memories, she begins to come around. Unfortunately, it takes someone to believe in you to get listened to. Let’s face it, the grunt workers here are full of prejudices and suspicions. These are, after all, crazy people. Things get really complicated when De Havilland’s character begins to get close to a handsome doctor. She starts to come into her own a bit, loved by her fellow patients, but a woman who is jealous sets things up to get her put into “the snake pit.” This is the place where the hopeless go. It sounds a good deal like Dante’s circles of hell.
