Fresh-faced lovely Joanne is lovely and dynamic in this rather implausible story. Even if this mental illness existed and could be so neatly managed as Lee J. Cobb summoning one of the personalities with an instant verbal command, what kind of medical treatment would involve allowing the impulsive, seductive second character named Eve Black go about exposing herself to danger, rape, pregnancy, or venereal disease? She's portrayed as simply wanting a good time, not illicit sex, but the smoldering G.I.s at the canteen are pushed to their limits at the tease. Still, I suppose that's the spice of the story and when you see the wicked grin emerging after the pitiful Eve White "goes to sleep", the fun on screen begins. Her merciless teasing of boorish husband David Wayne is entertaining and a good comeuppance to his unsympathetic treatment of the dominated wife.
