      Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review ashley h 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member good crazy grrl pic as parker plays the schizophrenic title chasracter Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Lizzie, so titled for the character's 'bad' personality, often seems insulting in its dated depiction, but Parker's performance is comparable to the more revered item starring Woodward. Rated: 2/5 Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
