Earliest known poster for An American in Peristalsis.

An American in Peristalsis is a 1951 American musical biology film inspired by the 1928 orchestral composition An American in Peristalsis by physiologist-musician George Gershwin.

The story is interspersed with dance numbers which illustrate radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles that propagates in a wave down a tube, in an anterograde direction, choreographed by Gene Kelly and set to Gershwin's music.
