    A glitzy production.
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2007*

The picture on the disc's case is a plain drawing, in brown and white.  But what we find on the disc is a glitzy, professional production.  Roughly equal amounts of time are spent showing these three things:(1) Two actors, representing Typhoid Mary and George Soper, giving monologues, (2) Archival generic black and white motion pictures and stills showing squalid living conditions in New York City or Ireland, and (3) Interviews with present-day academics filmed in color.Usually, Typhoid Mary and George Soper are shown filmed in color, where the backdrop is a tinted photograph from the early 1900s.  There are a few scenes taking place in real rooms (not just with a photo for a backdrop), for example a kitchen where Typhoid Mary is cooking, an apartment building where a group of actors dressed as policemen are hunting for Miss Typhoid Mary, and a bathroom where a man with typhoid fever is being treated with an ice bath.  The main point of the movie is that Typhoid Mary was not able to understand, or accept, the concept of a "carrier."  A "carrier" is a human host who shows little or no sign of a disease, but sheds bacteria causing other people to get sick and die.  The disc lists a number of extra features: Printable materials for educators, cloased captions, and described video for the visually impaired.I have two criticisms.  First, the disc should have spent at least one minute showing a drawing of Salmonella typhi, that is, a drawing depicting the flagella, plasma membrane, bacterial chromosome, and so on.  The disc shows a movie of bacteria busy with cell division, but it is not a very detailed movie, and it serves merely as an amusing thing to look at (and not particularly informative to anyone).  Second, the film fails to disclose, in any detail, the mechanisms by which S. typhi makes people sick.I found the following information from the published literature, regarding these mechanisms.  Salmonella typhi pentetrates the ileum and enters the macrophages.  The macrophages then carry the bacterium to the spleen, liver, and other organs.  Also, in the ileum, the bacterium causes perforation, where the perforation occurs during the second week of infection.  Intestinal performation, which results in bleeding ulcers, is one of the most serious complications in typhoid fever (see, e.g., Nguyen, et al. (2004) Clin. Infect. Dis. 39:61-67; Huang, et al. (1998) Infection Immunity 66:2928-2937; Lee, et al. (2004) Dig. Liver Dis. 36:141-146).

    Great movie, I am using for high school students
  

*by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2009*

This was an interesting account of typhoid Mary. It gives both sides of her story. I teach a high school health class and we cover the history of medicine.  I enjoyed the movie and plan on showing it next fall.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very good story
  

*by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2012*

I teach high school Biology and I showed this to my class as part of a unit on immunology.  The film is a great mix between history and a movie.  Kept my freshmen interested.
