Out of True is a 1951 British second feature ('B')[1] short drama-documentary film, directed by Philip Leacock and starring Jane Hylton and Muriel Pavlow.[2] 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".[3] The film received a nomination in the category Best Documentary Film at the 1951 British Academy Film Awards.[4] Its production was motivated, in part, by the U.S. film Snake Pit, which some critics in the UK feared would cast all psychiatric hospitals in a negative light.[5]
