About This Movie
That Mothers Might Live is a 1938 American short drama film directed by Fred Zinnemann. This film presents the story of Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis and his significant discovery regarding cleanliness in maternity wards, which aimed to reduce maternal mortality rates.
This film is relatively scarce, especially in its original format, which adds to its allure for collectors. It’s interesting to note how it reflects the changing attitudes towards maternal care in the early 20th century. Given Zinnemann's later success, it often garners attention in film retrospectives, although not many copies circulate. Collectors might find it a fascinating study of early social commentary in cinema.
