9/10
Lovely medical farce

I got my copy of this film from archive.org, 9:53 minutes, no sound. The image quality was rather bad in the first minute or so, hence I planned to delete it.. but watch it once. Boy, was I surprised.

This little gem describes an obesity cure, performed by a doctor and two assistants who act very competent in the increasingly grisly therapy. A hole is drilled into the patient's tummy, and a kind of liposuction done, first manually, then with a large pump. After that, he is brushed by a steam-driven rotary brush device, pummeled by a 4-cylinder engine, and finally put in a steam sauna, which ultimately explodes. The bits and pieces are competently reassembled, and out walks a slim, happy customer. To make it even more like a commercial, two short scenes in the end show "Before" and "After".

Big fun, with lots of surprises. 9/10.
