Ulcer at Work (1959)

1959 · Short film · 28 min

Synopsis

Well-crafted film on the health problems caused by emotional stress. The drama follows a white-collar worker with a peptic ulcer through tension-filled scenes at work and at home. Linking emotional stress with physical illness, Ulcer at Work espouses the now-discredited theory that ulcers result from a child’s unsatisfied oral gratification needs. Note: The cast includes real-life doctors.
