AboutBarbara L. Baker Expertise I am a professor of communication at a midwest university, who has expertise on subjects related to film. I can answer general questions on film comedy (especially in the United States) and comic theory. I have a particular interest in black comedy and political satires, especially of the 1960s and 1970s. I also could answer questions related to specific comic genres, such as comedian comedies, screwball comedies, "stupid" comedies, and so forth. The more specific you can make your question, the better (e.g. main plot details, main characters, possible character names, time periods, how you viewed the show, etc.).
I am less able to answer questions about specific "Our Gang" episodes, TV shows and series, and recent comic films and actors (although I would do my best to find out). I cannot answer questions about anime/magna or about film collectables. I generally cannot provide movie recommendations, since what I find funny others may not. Nor will I answer obvious homework (although I will point you to resources to help answer the question, if asked). I also can't help you find movie stars, or where to buy movie memorabilia, or tell you how to break into the business.

Past/Present clients My students at UCM, I suppose.
Question I saw in the 1980"s early 90"s, and I can't remember the name of the title. It was about a maried couple in the early 1900's that goes to one of those health resorts promising a cure for their illnesses. there were some unusual medical machines and some sex scenes. I think Rob Morrow was in the movie but can't find it in his filmography. It was funny and sexual at the same time. if you can help I would appreciate it. please contact if you need to ask any questions dana
Answer This sounds a lot like the 1994 comedy "The Road to Wellville." It was set in a 1900s health resort that a couple attended. The husband was played by Matthew Broderick. The doctor was played by Anthony Hopkins, and both John Cusak and Dana Carvey were in the cast. It had a lot of sexual activity and nudity in the film.
I hope this is the film you are searching for, as it came the closest to your description. If not, I would need more information to better locate the title.
