Good Intentions, Awful Execution
boblipton24 February 2014
Edward Ulmer directed some awful movies in his career, including a pornographic film in which his daughter had a role and this one. This was produced with the best of intentions: Hispanic Americans suffered disproportionately from tuberculosis, so the National Tuberculosis Association made this film to convince them to allow medical professionals help them -- it even has a Roman Catholic Priest in it tell the characters to do so.

While the intentions were good, the execution was cheap and awful. On at least two occasions a character leaned against a wall and it moved, revealing it to be a backdrop. The characters read their lines veery badly, speaking them as if memorized without understanding. The layout of the photography looks good, but the terrible print made me uncertain about the competence of the lighting cameraman.

In short, you can and should skip this one.
