Le cas du Docteur Laurent (1957)


 

A heartfelt plea for painless childbirth in rural France of the fifties.

Basically a little propaganda piece supporting natural childbirth, this drama shows good local details and is presented with a hint of a feminist message; of course, Jean Gabin is always worth the watch.

Maltin**: "Film was exploited theatrically for its frank birth sequence, only small logical sequence..."
