Virginia Cunningham is confused upon finding herself in a mental hospital, with no memory of her arrival at the institution.

As her treatment progresses, flashbacks depict events in Virginia's life that may have contributed to her instability.
Directed by Anatole Litvak. Starring Olivia de Havilland, Mark Stevens, Leo Genn, Celeste Holm and Glenn Langan.
Lyradrift plots The Snake Pit as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
