Actress Linda Hunt narrates this outstanding and vivid chronicle of America’s attitude towards physical fitness from the 1890s to the 1960s. The material is thought-provoking, the writing is sharp, and the wealth of archival footage used to illustrate the essay is impressive and very entertaining. Director Laurie Block keenly shows that attitudes toward the body are often a reflection of attitudes toward gender, class and race roles. -Betsy Sherman, The Boston Globe.
