Histerija

Slovenski opis filma:

Posneto po resnični zgodbi. Viktorijanski London. Mortimer Granville je mladi in napredni zdravnik, ki se zaposli pri zasebnemu zdravniku Dalrympleu. Ta zdravi ženske s pomočjo tako imenovane medenične masaže in tako poskrbi za njihovo spolno zadovoljitev. Granville postane pri takšnem »zdravljenju« žensk pravi strokovnjak, ko si zaradi opravljanja enih in istih gibov poškoduje zapestje, pa ga to pripelje do novega izuma: električnega vibratorja.

Originalni opis filma:

In 1880 pioneering doctor Mortimer Granville,sacked from various hospitals for challenging his superiors' out-moded methods,gets a job with Dr Dalrymple,who relieves female patients' frustrations - or hysteria - with pelvic massages which allow orgasm. The handsome young doctor attracts a large female clientele and gets engaged to Dalrymple's studious younger daughter Emily but after the constant massaging brings on a carpal injury he is sacked. Fortunately an enterprising inventor friend has come up with a power operated feather duster which will soon be transformed into a vibrator and make Mortimer a fortune. Along the way he also realises that his heart really lies with Emily's older sister Charlotte,an outspoken suffragette who runs a home for disadvantaged women in London's East End.
