Schwanger! Es geschah unter Narkose

Very interesting story which we can certainly relate to in our times.

Connie, who is married with 2 children, finds herself pregnant. Tests indicate that her husband is not the father and naturally his suspicions are aroused. This is so since he had a vasectomy and the couple had briefly separated for 3 weeks.

Suspicion soon falls on the dentist who had put her to sleep during a dental procedure. The dentists surprises all by admitting that he is the father but claiming that the 2 had an affair so the sex was consensual.

Interestingly, Joe Penny plays the evil dentist and you really come to hate him. Joe has become like Richard Chamberlain and Perry King, the macho guy of television movies.

Both parties bring charges against each other and it is very interesting to see how Penny is trapped at the end.

The film depicts an almost end to a marriage, before the husband realizes that his wife is a victim. The film shows the intricacies of the court system and how you have to maneuver around it.

Well acted and quite interesting. Makes you shutter when you have to go under for any procedure.

Add Joe Penny to the cast and you will get a great movie worth watching. Joe plays a dentist whose patients trust him before, during and after treatment. When one patient questions a visit to this doctor and added to that the doctor tries to discredit her makes for a movie with twists and turns. Joe always makes the characters he plays very believable. Whether good or bad, Joe adds his talent to this movie once again. Bringing a character to life is what an actor is trying for and Joe delivers on this and more. If there is someone who can play a bad guy it is Joe Penny. Whether his character wins or loses, is nice or not so Joe always gives his best. One of the best actors who really knows his craft.

The movie is concerning one of those important issues rape,no matter what degree it's still a crime that should be punished and this movie states both. Joe Penny is that actor who is well known for the guy you want to get to know because hes kind and talented, he's amazing in any role and this movie strengthens that belief. He plays the swath,evil dentist to perfection. You get to the point where you want him to get caught because of he's crime but you can not help loving him, he's amazing! The other actors are good but I recorded this movie for Joe's perfect talent he does every role with perfection. Well worth watching.

The only part I really remember were two lines: the husband going "There is no sperm in my semen!" and the dentist licking the woman's forehead saying "Your perfume smells so beautiful". This was a pretty bad movie.

I enjoyed this bleary-eyed melodrama, with a title as tabloidy as any 1950s science fiction B-picture (which this is most certainly not) and a pair of lead performances that hold you through the sometimes dull predictabilities of the story. Wronged, made-for-television women don't come any more emotionally vulnerable than Michele Greene, who, after learning of a mysterious pregnancy, accuses her dentist of raping her while she lay under sedation. Looking like Paige Davis just out of rehab, Ms. Greene doles out her character's screaming and crying judiciously, as if she were rebelling against the teleplay's original directives. With eyes that can gaze wistfully past the grey Toronto horizon as well as stare down various male tormentors (be it the villanous doctor Joe Penny or her disloyal, mistrustful husband William R. Moses) with equal woundedness, Ms. Greene offers the audience a veritable graduate-school course in Lifetime histrionics, without ever succumbing to silliness. As the bad doctor who just can't keep his hands to himself (notably so in the third act!), personification of evil Mr. Penny represents yuppie scum in its most rabid left-wing perception: not only is he a cocky, middle-aged, physically imposing rapist with a comb-over and a dated sports car, but he occupies a profession as bland and emasculating as dentist. One gets the subtextual impression that he's still resentful that he's not a "real" doctor, and with this rage, Mr. Penny icily delivers lines like "You can't beat me" or "You'll never prove anything, because I'm the man and you're the woman" and sends moderate shivers up your spine, if only for the actor's bracing commitment to such a throwaway movie.

As it grows more and more plausible that the final 50 pages of the script were written in a pizza & cocaine-fueled hurry (with Ms. Greene's character musing like Adam West on how to attain a young, beautiful undercover policewoman who also needs a great deal of dental work for a sting operation), one can begin to ask themselves honestly how much better this film would have been starring Ashley Judd and Alec Baldwin, and then, inevitably, one may begin to wonder about what's stopping those actors' careers from being completely replaced, like pod people, with the more obscure but equally competent talents of She Woke Up Pregnant's leads.
