"Private Worlds" is a good 1935 film concerning mental health issues. The film stars Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Charles Boyer, Helen Vinson, and Joan Bennett. I confess I didn't recognize Joan Bennett.
The story concerns hard-working, dedicated psychiatrists McCrea and Colbert who have to deal with a new head of the hospital, a man who believes women have no place in psychiatry. The title comes from a quote by McCrea, that there is no difference between sanity and insanity - everyone lives in their own private world.
There is a subplot - the philandering McCrea, fooling around with Boyer's sister (Vinson), and a growing attraction between Colbert and Boyer.
I don't think I have ever seen Boyer so young, and he reminded me of Alain Delon.
Good movie, recommending a humane approach to the mentally ill.
