    The subtle genius and forward thinking of this movie almost makes it hard to believe it was filmed in 1951. When Dr. Praetorious responded to a judgemental if not bigotted comment by his nurse by saying "you're a woman and a nurse and I'm ashamed of both of you". was silver screen magic and would hold just as true if said today.
