This docudrama recaps the history of silicone breast implants, beginning in 1962 when idealistic Houston medical resident Kevin Saunders (David Schwimmer) gets an idea after seeing how women pad their bras. After he shares his notion with cosmetic pro Dr. William Larson (Chris Cooper), the two create a prosthetic breast from Dow-Corning's silicone gel. Approaching women on the street fails to bring volunteers, but a classified newspaper ad does the trick. As breast sizes increase, so do the doctors' bank accounts. However, physical problems emerge, followed by lawsuits, and the high life soon turns sour and grim. Filmed in LA, and Texas (Galveston, Houston), this TV movie premiered December 13, 1997 on HBO. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

    This is basically the story of how breast implants came about. It's not pornography, just a documentary sort of. It was interesting and short, nothing wonderful, but worth watching if you have nothing better to do.

    This is a docu-drama (bio-pic) about the first two plastic surgeons who invented and implemented the silicone breast augmentation surgery. It shows how they met, their initial involvement in implant surgeries, their rise to "medical" stardom and the slide down when the lawsuits came in from women who claimed their breast implants were the reason for their illnesses. Not sure how accurate the story is but it was interesting, entertaining, more dramatic than I thought it would be and really showcases the two stars' talents (Cooper and Schwimmer). Warning: bad language, drug use, several topless shots. Also, interesting statements made by women concerning, femininity, appearance, self-image and their breasts. All in all a good film for adults to view.
