Review of The Three Faces of Eve

I expect that this film was fascinating back in the Fifties. I only just saw it for the first time, even though I'm middle-aged. I remember reading the book Sybill in the Seventies, (can't remember if I saw the movie) and that sort of forms my basis for Multiple Personality Disorder. I don't know if it really exists or not, and I've never encountered anyone with it (as should be expected, as it is very rare). As for the movie, I think it fails to really evoke the horror that must be felt by Eve White, the waking self, as she comes to in places and situations she knows nothing of. I must say that Joanne Woodward was outstanding. She could go from mousy to sexy in fifteen seconds. And she really was beautiful. I'd say that this is worth seeing as a classic, and for Woodward fans, but other more modern films are probably better on the subject matter. One can't have expectations that are unrealistic for the times that this movie is from.
