The Three Faces of Eve (1957)

In the quiet, unassuming world of Eve White, a mousy wife and mother, unsettling blackouts and memory lapses punctuate an otherwise ordinary life. These alarming interruptions drive her to seek help from the enigmatic psychiatrist, Dr. Curtis Luther. As Luther delves into Eve's disjointed psyche, a wholly different persona surfaces during their intense sessions - the vivacious and uninhibited Eve Black. Eve Black, a wild spirit who revels in dance, drinks, and the allure of men, is a stark contrast to the demure and soft-spoken Eve White. Uniquely, while Eve Black holds an omniscient view of Eve White's actions, the latter remains oblivious to her counterpart's reckless exploits. This intriguing imbalance of awareness begins to strain Eve's marriage, leading her through a labyrinth of hospital stays and therapeutic interventions. As Eve's life becomes a kaleidoscope of shifting identities, the two personalities tentatively find a way to coexist. However, the tranquility is short-lived. The emergence of a third persona, the level-headed Jane, adds another complex layer to Eve's already tangled existence. This captivating tale, inspired by a real-life case of multiple personalities, chronicles Dr. Luther's relentless journey to reconcile the three faces of Eve. It is a riveting exploration of a fragmented mind and the childhood trauma that lurks in its shadowy corners.

The Three Faces of Eve is a drama movie featuring Joanne Woodward and directed by Nunnally Johnson.
