Filmed inside a working state mental hospital, with actual patients and staff among the cast, at the superintendent's insistence that it be done there and done honestly. It swept the five top Oscars, the first film in forty years to do so. The hospital was later condemned for its conditions and partly rebuilt. A museum of its history occupies a wing.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
