Thanks. I'll put it in my Netflix queue.

Did you see "A Dangerous Method"? That was another cinematic attempt to deal with the medical history of hysteria. I can't whole-heartedly recommend it: it moved very slowly, and the female characters were pretty stereotyped. But the acting was superb (Keira Knightley can actually act! Who knew?)
