My video “Alcoholism in the Movies” is now available for public viewing on YouTube. It explores medical aspects of alcoholism as seen in popular films of the mid-20th century, including the powerful Billy Wilder film Lost Weekend from 1945.

My review of the film “Bigger Than Life” is now available on YouTube. This medical drama from 1956 deals with a “miracle drug” (still in use today) with terrifying side effects. This is the first in my series “Medicine in the Movies”.
