My edited and enhanced version of "The Relaxed Wife" -  a 1957 Pfizer sponsored infomercial film that was made in Princeton NJ by Made On Film, Inc.  Created from a script written by Suzanne "Coni" Johnston,  who wrote many screenplays for Made On Film and along with her husband Hugh, also made dozens of documentary films from the 1950's up through the 80's,  but The Relaxed Wife remains Coni's most notable creation with its combination of surrealism, 1950's paranoia, a very animated  acting performance, and interesting camerawork and cinematography.

Ah, all you have to do is take one of our pills! Ya, that worked didn't it?

I want a bumper sticker that says "Be Ataraxic"

Was that crack cocaine in that glass vial? Looked like shattered safety glass. I'm sure the pills were more attractive and "your mind on drugs" flasks on that table would no doubt stop bubbling if you just dropped another pill into them. Where would they play that optical migraine? Maybe between two Three Stooges shorts before the real movie started playing at the local drive-in theater? Did the Greeks or Romans have a name for "Phenobarbital"? Maybe "Maxus Relaxus"? There's nothing like a constant flow of barbiturates to get through a day of housewife "duties" and physical paper file folders and one telephone at work. Ahh, the good ole' days days of the acceptable nightmarish descent into pills and booze! Phizer, sign me up!

The most interesting bit was at the end when they slowed down the scene at the office and you could actually understand the nonsense being said over the phone!

Benzodiazepines?

Back when this was made, probably less than 1 in 100 Americans took any kind of anti-anxiety medication. Now it's estimated that 1 in 6 do. Interestingly, the video spends a lot more time offering physical methods to combat stress and anxiety than it does offering chemical options, but since Pfizer now makes the #1 anxiety drug in the US (Zoloft), it would appear that they learned that humans would rather take a pill than exercise or meditate or use relaxation techniques. I'd go as far as to say that modern day Americans need this film more than they did back then!

Not the most interesting, imho but a nice touch!
