The legendary Joanne Woodward received her sole Academy Award win for her unforgettable portrayal of a Southern housewife with multiple personalities in The Three Faces of Eve. Adapted from a best-selling book based on a real-life case, Woodward shifts between timid homemaker, mischievous seductress, and independent sophisticate, while her psychiatrist (Lee J. Cobb) tries to untangle the traumatic truth behind her fractured identity.
“It is written, produced and directed by Mr. Johnson with a clean documentary clarity, and played with superlative flexibility and emotional power by Joanne Woodward in the main role.” – Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
