The Pill

The read

It runs a compact 1h 15m.

Synopsis

Audiences were lured by promises of pill-popping Sixties sexual freedom, but instead got a creepy British lecturer droning about birth control - before plunging viewers into recycled footage from Test Tube Babies (1948), endin in a surreal color sequence where a man develops facial sores and a green hand requiring doctors to extract what appears to be Silly Putty from his chest!
