Highbrow Lowbrow: Olivia de Havilland Special

The latest episode of Highbrow Lowbrow is an Olivia de Havilland Special. We look at two of the most intense and powerful films de Havilland made in her long, illustrious career. Dan’s highbrow pick is The Snake Pit, a gruelling portrayal of mental health that was generations ahead of its time.

My lowbrow choice is Lady in a Cage. One of the first home invasion films, this little-seen horror gem is proof that de Havilland could turn her hand to anything.
