Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Lilith is about a mysterious young woman in an elite Maryland sanitarium who seems to weave a magical spell all around her. A restless but sincere young man with an equally-obscure past is drawn into her web. As time passes, their relationship deepens and intensifies, and the differences between them begin to blur, leading to a shocking but oddly logical conclusion.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | According to Kim Hunter: "The tensions on the set contributed to his [Rossen's] death. I don't think I want to talk about it. Since then, Warren has grown so; at that time, he wasn't ready to be a star. He knew it and was scared! In rehearsal, he'd be great. The closer he got to the camera, the more he'd retreat. He'd cut half his lines, which made Warren interesting and the rest of us talky as hell! He gave Jean no help whatsoever. She was damn good in a demanding role. At the wrap party, a group of people threw Warren into a stream". See more » |
| Goofs | When the staff and patients are loading up to go on their picnic, two of the cars are 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood 75's. When they arrive at their destination, the cars have changed into 1958 and 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood 75's. The station wagon has changed from a 1959 Ford Country Squire to a 1960 Ford Country Squire.
