Predictably icky tale about caesarean section childbirth. It looks like it was filmed in the 1920s and it really doesn't convince me that it does look all that safe. Loads of blood abound. Also worth noting is the curious crowd of onlookers at the very beginning of the movie. What's the deal with the doctor sitting on the counter?
