Newsreel review - "Can Braund Cure Cancer?" (1948) **1/2

Ken G Hall doesn't mention this film in his memoirs, perhaps trying to brush it under the carpet - it's a newsreel on the claims of a quack, John Braund, to have cured 317 people of cancer. There are some live testimonials and Hall's treatment, while not quite an ad, is extremely sympathetic. The talking heads are fascinating, a glimpse of an Australia gone now - but the actual execution wouldn't be out of place on a TV current affairs show today.
