Synopsis
The wealthy, caustic Argan is convinced he is chronically and deathly ill. His greedy doctors concur, of course. They prescribe all sorts of cures: leeches, tonics, poultices and enemas. As a way of saving money on medical bills, Argan has conspired to marry his daughter off to an up and coming medical student. Unfortunately, his daughter has her heart set on someone else and comedic chaos ensues.
Reviews
“…Delivers a surprisingly bittersweet ending that resolves relationships and symbolism more satisfyingly than in the original.”
