When Alistair Cooke shows up to introduce Three Faces of Eve, we know that the fact-based story will bear more than a little fidelity to truth. Joanne Woodward won an Academy Award for her portrayal o...( read more  read more... )f Eve, a young Georgia housewife suffering from multiple personalities. Eve's husband (David Wayne), confused by his wife's aberrant behavior when assuming her two other selves, seeks out help from a psychiatrist (Lee J. Cobb). Carefully probing Eve's subconscious via hypnosis, the doctor finds out that, though each of Eve's personalities is aware of the other's existence, none are related. After months of therapy, Eve is purged of her negative selves and is totally cured. Ironically, Joanne Woodward would herself play a psychologist confronted with a multiple-personality case in the Emmy-winning 1976 TV movie Sybil.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    It would be difficult to imagine a more demanding role than a character with three completely different personalities, and it would be equally difficult to imagine anyone rising to the challenge better than the lovely and gifted Joanne Woodward. Her performance is jaw dropping, ...( read more)utterly believable, and oscar worthy.

    Joanne Woodward won the academy award for this movie and deservedly so. Woodward plays Eve, and not just Eve White but Eve Black and Jane too. Trouble is young housewife Eve has a multiple personality disorder. Woodward shifts with ease through each persona and it's just a joy to...( read more) watch the encounters with the mediacal personal aswel as her husband, who are all perplexed by the situation. To makes matters more enjoyable it's apparently based on a true story too, but who knows how loosely. So treat yourself to this early cinematic piece.

    The movie the Three Faces of Eve is a true story about a southern wife in the 1950's. Her name was Eve White. She is taken by her husband to see the psychiatrist Dr. Luther. After hyptonitizing her, he discovers that she has two disctnictive personalties. One is EVe White, a rat...( read more)her depressed housewife. The other is Eve Black a very flirty southern gal. Later a third personality is discovered, named Jane who has no memory.
    I found this movie to be very entertaining througout. Joanee Woodward does a fantastic job as Eve(she won a academy award for the role). I was fastinayed with her portral of the three personalties. For those of you who dont like movies because they are old, please give this film a chance. There are times when I have been bored by the old cinema, I'll admit. However with this one I was impressed. Just about every scene in this movie there is something that catches your eye. I found several of the scenes to be humourous. When she transforms into Eve Black she flirts with everyone! Even her psychiatrist, who was double her age! What the hell!?
    So overall I found this movie quite a surprise. People who are interested in psychology will surely find this enjoyable along with anyone who enjoys great cinema.


    advertisementEve Black: Don't you want to get me one?
    Ralph White: Well, I've never seen you take a drink before.
    Eve Black: Honey, there are a lot of things you've never seen me do before. That's no sign I don't do 'em.

    A complex and emotionally impactful analysis on one of the most complex psychiatric cases ever recorded. Joanne Woodward is exceptional at such hard character.

    79/100

    A little long winded in parts, but Joanne Woodward is spectacular as Eve, or Eve's rather.
