I so thoroughly enjoyed this movie that I'm telling everyone I know about it. Sad that it got so little attention when it actually came out because it is the most delightful little story of a small piece of history to ever grace the movie screen. I personally had no idea that women ever went to doctors to get a little sexual satisfaction right there in the office.

The actors were all superb without exception, the costume (wow!) and set design were incredible (Rupert Everett's little office was amazing!), but the screenplay should have gotten an Oscar nod. Brilliant! I only wish (for the producers' sake) that perhaps the title were more descriptive. Based on the word "hysteria" alone, some people might shy away thinking it more of a thriller, when in fact, it's an absolutely delightful and humorous look at one small but lasting invention and the story behind it.
