 Review: Desperate Remedies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
About 30 minutes into Desperate Remedies, I finally asked myself the question: "What am I watching?" Defying categorization, this movie is just plain weird, and unlike anything else currently playing in theaters.
Desperate Remedies is a grand melodrama that's completely aware of its over-the-top tendencies (in fact, it revels in them).
In general, however, all the perks in Desperate Remedies are gimmicky.

 Desperate Remedies - Thomas Hardy - Penguin Group (USA)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Hardy described Desperate Remedies as a tale of 'mystery, entanglement, surprise and moral obliquity'.
Blackmail, murder and romance are among the ingredients of Hardy's first published novel, and in it he draws blithely on the 'sensation novel' perfected by Wilkie Collins.
Several perceptive critics praised the author as a novelist with a future when Desperate Remedies appeared anonymously in 1871.

 Desperate Remedies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Desperate Remedies, Hardy's first published nove, had a somewhat desperate beginning after he finished the book in March 1870.
The novel was not serialized, but was published anonymously after Hardy made revisions requested by his publisher Tinsley Brothers.
Hardy, discouraged by the reviews, initially recouped only about 60 of the 75 pounds he contributed to the expense of Desperate Remedies' publication.

All food served at the Sanatorium is human flesh, either that of patients (their extremities surgically removed over a period of time to grace the Doctor’s table) or from corpses from the old gaol cemetery.
The ‘stalkers’ are a group of patients who escaped through the ghouls’ tunnels: half-demented and hideous, they are desperate to rescue fellow-sufferers from the Doctor, but are in terror of ‘regular’ humans and ghouls alike.
The sick character is in the last stages of transformation, but may be saved in the nick of time.

 Wellington Film Society - DESPERATE REMEDIES
After a decade as collaborators on documentaries and shorts, writer-directors Wells and Stewart Main have loosened their corsets with a sexy, queer spoof costume melodrama that's better off without such stale self-justifications.
That DESPERATE REMEDIES succeeds as something more than overblown camp spectacle is due to its exact understanding not just of genre conventions but of the ideology they represent.
But DESPERATE REMEDIES' self-conscious reinvention of the genre's pleasures is also its shortcoming: for all its verve and visual excess, it's ultimately a one-joke parody which never makes the imaginistic transgression into, say, the deep cod-historical weirdness of Canada's Guy Maddin.

 Managed Care Matters - Desperate Remedies?
One knows, of course, that pharmaceutical costs are managed care's No. 1 concern and that the trend of the drug spend is upward and accelerating.
But one did not know -- or at least I didn't -- the precise degree of desperation some health plans are evidently experiencing as they calculate their Rx outlays.
A window into that mind-set was recently thrown open by a story in the Las Vegas Sun (October 25, 1999) that reported a controversy surrounding the "pill-splitting" strategies of a couple of Nevada health insurers.

 Desperate Remedies Review (1993)
Dorothea spies Lawrence Hayes (Kevin Smith) in the crowd and knows that he is the man for her; what she plans is for Lawrence to marry Rose to spare her the shame of her predicament, but matters are not going to work themselves out as easily as that, as she soon discovers.
Written by the directors Stewart Main and Peter Wells, Desperate Remedies is a passionate, way over the top melodrama that might remind you of an old Margaret Lockwood movie, only with more blatant sex and added homosexuality.
Filmed on claustrophobic sets that heighten the atmosphere of delirium, the cast have obviously been encouraged to overact as much as they please, which is a bonus to the excessively heated plotting and unbridled emotions on display.

 Desperate Remedies
Hardy's first published novel--in the popular Victorian "sensation" genre--involves flmail and murder, as it tells the story of an innocent young woman and the man she loves (and lusts after).
Published in 1871, DESPERATE REMEDIES was met with scornful reviews, and Hardy actually lost money on the book.
However, modern readers find in the novel a groundbreaking look at the position of women, female sexuality, and the constraints of the English class system.
