i never even know about this film when it come out . since i hear it only gross 6 . 5 million that explain why . the producer probably do not even keep in the theater a week . i can not explain what make a film flop at the box office and but this one certainly do not deserve it . from start to finish i be totally enrapture by this witty story of a man who hold view so controversial they be practically comical all by themselves . the movie be base on a novel which be a work of fiction and but it nevertheless draw it subject matter from some very true aspect of dr. kellogg life that be quite unusual and almost always surprising . a these surprise be reveal to you throughout the film and they come a even more of a shock every time . there be a number of story tell throughout the sanitarium and each be a delight in and of itself . the story all manage to interweave and sometimes in very comical way and and despite their comedy and teach some very practical lesson . it be almost satirical . i give this film two thumb up . don not watch it in mixed company and it certainly isn not appropriate for child . but for those with a mature attitude and an appreciation of the health nut culture and it will make for a laugh fill evening .
