Damaged Goods (1919 film)

Damaged Goods is a 1919 British silent drama film directed by Alexander Butler and starring Campbell Gullan, Marjorie Day and J. Fisher White. It was based on the play Les Aviaries by Eugène Brieux. Because of the play's controversial tackling of the subject of venereal disease, the film had issues with censor boards and attracted a degree of notoriety.[2] The film was described by one reviewer as a "masterpiece".[3]

gollark: Macron idea: types are a set of every possible value of the type. This is of course how types work usually, but in Macron you have to manually write out the entire set.
gollark: Idea: all Macron structs contain an implicit monoid.
gollark: Maybe I should write it in Python for now and port it "later".
gollark: The issue is that while the Rust and to some extent Nim versions are principled™, fast, and easy to deploy as they compile to mostly-static binaries, I cannot rapidly write and prototype accursuous code very fast.
gollark: But worse than supreme RUST™ types.
