Sinopsis:
The eccentric Dr. John Harvey Kellog (A. Hopkins), a staunch defender of natural life, runs a luxurious spa in Battle Creek.  According to him, the conditions to obtain an immaculate organism are: to outlaw meat, to eradicate sex and to practice hydrotherapy.
With this panorama, a marriage about to separate will reach the peculiar clinic, where they will live absolutely incredible experiences, with therapies of electric discharge and other methods more than doubtful.


I have chosen this film because it's  directly related with hot  springs because the film is about a Spa,  which is a set of different types of hot springs. It also talks about the different types of therapies and medicinal uses that can be applied by hot springs for the human well-being.

I think that this was the right film for the English section because it's a film recorded in Battle Creek, a town of the United States, and the full cast and the director are English speakers. This article helped me to improve my knowledges of the English cinematography.
