Test Tube Babies (1948)

Test Tube Babies: Directed by W. Merle Connell. With Dorothy Duke, William Thomason, Timothy Farrell, John Michael. A happily-married couple having no luck with starting their family finally discover that the husband is sterile. Their family doctor suggests that they think about artificial insemination, which at the time was considered to be quite scandalous.

“Oh man what a terrible film! But it can be funny as all get outs! This is the type of film they passed as education on adult topics like this one about being sterile and artificial insemination. I found the part with the doctor being blunt with the man really funny… especially after he was being blunt then told the man (husband) u0026quot;let me be blunt… deadu0026quot; — I fell out laughing!! He was already about as blunt as he could get by actually saying the word u0026quot;spermu0026quot; and then suddenly wanted to be blunt about the sperm being u0026quot;deadu0026quot;. That was too funny!! If you havenu0026#39;t seen this film, then youu0026#39;d have to see it to understand why it was so funny… and if you have seen the film then you know what I mean already!! Haha! OH It took about 30 minutes before the husband to find out the he was sterile… before that it was all about a swingers party and it even had a stripper insulting the u0026quot;nice ladiesu0026quot;. One of the u0026quot;nice ladiesu0026quot; and the stripper ended up in a cat-fight and get got a chance to see a the top nude half of the blonde stripper – just for a few seconds! LOL.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eReally the film was NOT very educational about sterility and artificial insemination – it was an exploitation film of some kind and you really canu0026#39;t tell what – maybe just swinging adults?!! OH and the camera man wanted a peek at a couple of womenu0026#39;s breasts so they made sure we, the viewers, got a quick glimpse of them too. ONE MORE THING: This movie really has zero to do with test tube babies, really it doesnu0026#39;t.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a 1/10 film — but I got some giggles out of this one so it gets an extra point for making me laugh!! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e2/10”
