Station IV is an interesting piece from 1948 that dives into the rather taboo topic of sexually transmitted diseases. Groschopp's direction feels almost clinical, yet there's a rawness to the presentation that makes it stand out. The pacing is methodical, which might test some viewers' patience, but you can't deny it serves the educational purpose. The practical effects used to illustrate the consequences of STDs are surprisingly effective for the era, eliciting a real visceral reaction. The performances are straightforward, yet they carry a weight of seriousness that's hard to ignore. It’s a film that reflects its time, a snapshot of post-war attitudes towards health education. Definitely a unique find for those interested in the evolution of educational documentaries.
