| Description: | THE WEIGH OF ALL FLESH (ELIMINATOR!) Steam heating invention makes it possible to have your own Turkish Bath at home. Fantastic film showing a woman having a Turkish Bath in her own bathroom! United Kingdom Shot of plain-looking bathroom with white porcelain tub and sink. Woman enters wearing bathrobe, carrying pillow & folded sheet. She takes off bathrobe and hangs it up, underneath it she is wearing a dark shorts and tank-top set. She picks up sort of big nearly flat thing c. 4' tall x 2' wide, with coils on one side - which is identified as a "steam apparatus", and carries it to the tub. MS woman stands by tub holding the steam apparatu. She bends over and lays it in the tub, coils side down. MS she takes the short hose connected to one end and fits it over the nozzle of the tub. MLS she puts pillow in tub, unfolds the sheet, gets in and lies down putting the sheet over her. MS woman lying in tub covered with sheet; some steam starts escaping from under pillow. She goes through a series of bizarre facial contortions - puffing out her cheeks and blowing, grinning and giggling, rolling her eyes, then sucking in her cheeks. MCU same, but now the steam is rising all around her and she is grinning and sort of squirming around in delight. | |
