Health is a 1980 film directed by Robert Altman. Generally considered to be one of Altman's more underrated movies, "Health" takes a satirical look behind the scenes at a health-food convention at a Florida luxury hotel, where a powerful political organization is deciding upon its new president. This election, however, is not unscathed by backroom deals and scandal. In the middle of the skullduggery is a no-nonsense hotel cleaning lady (Woodard).
[edit] Trivia
This film marks the first time Robert Altman collaborated with writer Frank Barhydt, who had a minor recurring role in the Altman-produced miniseries Tanner '88 and co-produced Short Cuts and Kansas City.
