Bedlam (1946) is a film starring Boris Karloff and Anna Lee, and was the last in a series of stylish horror B films produced by Val Lewton for RKO Radio Pictures. The film was inspired by William Hogarth's A Rake's Progress, and Hogarth was given a writing credit.
Set in 1761 in London, the film focuses on events at St. Mary's of Bethlehem Asylum, a fictionalized version of Bethlem Royal Hospital, also known as "Bedlam." After an acquaintance of aristocrat Lord Mortimer dies in an attempt to escape from the asylum, apothecary general Master George Sims (played by Karloff, a fictionalized version of an infamous head physician at Bethlem, John Monro) appeases Mortimer by having his "loonies" put on a show for him. Mortified by the treatment of the patients, Mortimer's protégé Nell Bowen (Lee) seeks the help of Whig politician John Wilkes to reform the asylum. Mortimer and Sims conspire to commit Nell to the asylum, where her initial fears of the fellow inmates do not sway her sympathetic commitment to improving their conditions. Frustrated by Nell's progress with the inmates, Sims threatens her with his strongest "cure" but his attempt is thwarted by the very inmates that Nell helped. Ultimately, Sims is literally "deposed" and Nell is rescued by her Quaker friend who had counselled her through the whole process.

The movie "Bedlam" (starring Boris Karloff, Anna Lee and Billy House) is about the treatment of patients at an 18th century insane asylum. The argument in the clip can easily double for the argument between the 1% and the 99% with a little 47% thrown in for good measure.

Gene Tierney and Vincent Price star in an adaptation of Anya Seton's bestselling novel. Both the novel and film are excellent guilty pleasures for fans of Gothic romance and historical fiction.
London’s Bethel Royal Hospital, commonly known as Bedlam, was an asylum founded in 1247. An exhibition of its history explores how the experience of mental illness and notions of madness have been shaped over centuries, and imagines what the future might hold. http://multimedia.telesurtv.net/v/rear-window-613894/
As the tides of your love, keeps turning. As the sea still runs to the sand. And the fingers of fear, will be stirring. Trying to prove to myself I'm a man. In the night when the silence, surrounds you. Well do you feel so cold and alone? And the soul of the poet, deep inside you. Leaves a mark that needs to be shown.
The days seem much longer. But my time feels cut short. The people all around me, they were so easily bought.
If someone ever tries to mistreat you, I will never be too far away. It means more to me to be needed, than the air that I breathe every day. Even now as I think of tomorrow, oh the pain inside gets worse every day. I feel the doors of my room they are closing, looks as though I can't get away.
