Impossibly thin, porcelain-skinned Joanne Woodward exuded the perfect blend of vulnerability and confusion -- and sassiness and sex appeal -- in her demanding lead role (make that roles) in Nunnally Johnson's The Three Faces of Eve. [24 Oct 2004]
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.
Shallow, but the gimmick is appealing, and Woodward's showmanship is very likable.
What seemed steamy in 1957 — a reasonably frank look at mental disorder and repressed sexuality — is today the stuff of Oprah.
The film is basically a two-character piece featuring Woodward and Cobb and probably would have made a very good play. Cinematically, it's lacking on several levels.
Based on a true case history of a schizophrenic - here a woman with three personalities: a slatternly housewife, a seductive flirt, and a smart, articulate woman - this is worthy but somewhat turgid and facile, a typically Hollywoodian account of mental illness.
Joanne Woodward won an Oscar for her title performance in The Three Faces of Eve, but what she’s doing here feels like an exercise you’d see at theater camp.
