Hsyteria

An amusing, factually based, risqué, star-dotted (Ashley Jensen, Gemma Jones, Sheridan Smith, et al.), 2011 romantic film in which forward-thinking Dr. Mortimer Granville (Hugh Dancy) finds himself attracted to two smart, very different sisters (Maggie Gyllenhaal and Felicity Jones) when he joins the successful London practice of prominent physician Dr. Robert Dalrymple (Jonathan Pryce), who is treating his repressed, melancholy, frustrated, allegedly hysterical female patients (Kim Criswell, Catherine Meunier, Kate Linder, Corinna Marlowe, et al.) with sexual massage therapy to their delight, and by chance ends up inventing the first electric massage vibrator with his wealthy, eccentric friend (Rupert Everett) in 1880 after developing severely cramped muscles in his hand while treating his growing list of satisfied patients.
