Interesting facts

Out of True is a 1951 British second feature ('B') short drama-documentary film, directed by Philip Leacock and starring Jane Hylton and Muriel Pavlow. It was made by the Crown Film Unit with sponsorship from the Ministry of Health, and was promoted as a "fictional account of a nervous breakdown which conforms to the pattern of much of the mental illness occurring today". The film received a nomination in the category Best Documentary Film at the 1951 British Academy Film Awards. Its production was motivated, in part, by the U.S. film The Snake Pit, which some critics in the UK feared would cast all psychiatric hospitals in a negative light.
