The Road to Wellville
Directed by Alan Parker
A staunch advocate of healthy living, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg
(Anthony Hopkins) opens a sanitarium that promotes his progressive,
if eccentric, ideas about optimal well-being. Among the clients who
arrive at the facility are the opportunistic Charles Ossining (John
Cusack), who is keen on marketing Kellogg's cereal, and the wealthy
Will Lightbody (Matthew Broderick) and his wife, Eleanor (Bridget
Fonda). This comedy is inspired by an actual spa run by Dr. Kellogg
at the turn of the century.
