Dangerous Remedy is a compelling slice of TV movie history, diving into the life of Dr. Bertram Wainer, who was a real trailblazer in 1960s Melbourne. The film portrays a gritty atmosphere, revealing the intense struggle against police corruption surrounding abortion laws. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each revelation to settle in. Performances are strong, especially the lead, who captures Wainer's blend of passion and desperation. It’s fascinating how it balances a historical narrative with the tension of a thriller, making the stakes feel palpably high. The practical effects used, though subtle, enhance the authenticity of the period. Definitely one for those interested in social issues and historical dramas.
