07/05/2021 Overlooked film due to "The 3 Faces of Eve" that was released at the same time. Eleanor Parker's Oscar-worthy performance is much more fun to watch than Joanne Woodward's Oscar-winning role. Johnny Mathis sings hit "It's Not for Me to Say" in bar scene. See more 04/30/2017 An overlooked and very worthwhile alternative to "The Three Faces of Eve", which came out just a few months before, this film is also about a woman dealing with a triple-pronged multiple personality disorder. Overshadowed by Joanne Woodward's Oscar-winning performance in the higher-profiled "Three Faces," Eleanor Parker delivers a captivating and compelling portrayal of her own as Elizabeth, Beth, and the titular Lizzie. I actually prefer "Lizzie" to "Three Faces" in many respects. For one thing, I think it's more interesting to look at -- with a deeper, more shadowy contrast to the film's appearance as well as some camera shots from distinctive angles, the cinematography here is notably film noir-like. Also, I find the ensemble of ancillary characters, led by Richard Boone's psychiatrist, to be more entertaining and intriguing (there's even a young Johnny Mathis crooning two of his songs as a piano player/singer at a local club frequented by Lizzie). Give "Lizzie" a chance. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 04/23/2017 Lizzie is an excellent film. It is about a Los Angeles psychiatrist who uses hypnosis to treat a 25 year old woman who's suffering from multiple personality disorder. Eleanor Parker and Joan Blondell give fantastic performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Hugo Haas did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. Lizzie is a must see. See more 01/14/2014 Effective drama shows some of the horrors of psychosis while justifying Borden's actions (i.e. making the audience feel for her in her living situation). See more 06/20/2013 Simplistic but earnest exploration of multiple personality disorder. Not quite as good as Three Faces of Eve but a decent effort with excellent work from Eleanor Parker and Joan Blondell. An early role for an astonishingly young Marion Ross.
