    As the wife of a retired Family Doctor, this movie reminded me of the times my husband fought insurance companies and bureaucracies on behalf of his patients. Also, the times he missed school plays or recitals because he was holding a patient’s hand while delivering bad news or watching them pass. People don’t understand how much of their patients doctors carry with them, day after day, year after year. The secrets and fears they shared with him are with him even now. Most folks leave the office and don’t give it another thought until they return in the morning. Doctors don’t have that luxury. Their patients become part of them. Their lives are forever inextricably intertwined. Their pain, his pain. Their fears, his fears. Their secrets, his secrets. Even though he now suffers from dementia, I’ll make sure he watches this movie later today. I know it will bring him joy.

      Say what you will about the credits of famous actresses. Margaret Hamilton earned hers with her portrayal of the witch in The Wizard of Oz, overshadowed of course by Judy Garland. However, Ms. Hamilton in this movie, professes the highest example of an entertainer that I have EVER witnessed in Hollywood's history!
      She has, thru these many years, so underestimated, that she truly belongs among the greatest!!!
      May she rest in peace as she has left an indelible mark in Hollywood!!!

Its just that for certain ones, my GP for instance, he sold his practice to a big corporation like so many doctors are being forced to do today because of all the paperwork both government and insurance. He is still excellent. Its GETTING to him that's the problem
      You deal with staff who are not medically minded but corporate minded and never bear in mind they are dealing with sick people. They max out the appointments for profit so if you have an emergent need, you cannot get in. Case in point. I caught a breakthrough case of Covid last week. I have numerous preexisting conditions so I called my GP. The ignorant corporate staff member said 'if you have Covid they DO recommended you come in and be seen. The next available is January 23rd!' I said 'my good woman, one of TWO things will happen by then. I will either be better, or I will be dead!' She then said 'then we recommended you go to the emergency room.' I said 'so instead of spending fifteen dollars for a copay for my doctor, I can spend three hundred dollars in deductibles for the emergency room to get the exact same advice. Lovely.'

      Oh my gosh, I was leaving this comment to thank you for educating us about Mankiewicz. Then you mention Wilkes-Barre PA I was born and raised in Wilkes-Barre. There was a time in Wilkes-Barre’s history where it was wonderful to live there. I loved growing up in that old town. There were a lot of kind people. I have the sweetest memories of adults (strangers actually) being kind to me. When I was around five years old. I would get the bus at the corner where the firehouse was. And I remember there was this one man and he used to hold me up in his arms and we would watch out the window for the bus to come so I wouldn’t have to be outside cold all by myself. What a sweet man! My father wasn’t around & that man made me feel so special. It was loving and innocent and pure. It’s sad to think today that the same situation. they’d be so worried about the guy being a perv. Sadly you do need to be that way, so super careful, but I believe because of the way I am that there are still some good kind adults that love children and it’s natural for them to be loving and kind to kids in general.

His parting words to Hume Cronyn as Prof. Rodney Elwell are so well said with both the strangest bit of grace and humility that I just can't describe how magnificent Elwell's well deserved comeuppance was given.

    This is a favorite movie of mine. It's rare to see it. This is quite unique. Cary Grant plays a doctor who is frankly ahead of his day, practicing holistic medicine. Our American doctors have become even worse than they were back in this movie, with MacDonald's fast food medicine 15 minute in/out, impersonal HMO medicine. The profession has devolved. American medical profession is devoid of soul. Doctors gripe about being rushed and not making enough money. Nobody put a gun to their heads to force them into this line of work. They need to care about individuals, and they need to have heart and compassion. They also need to stop investing in Big Pharma on the side. Our physicians were complicit with Big Pharma and pushed opioids on their patients without shame. Bring back humanity to American medicine.

    An unusual, thoughtful film. Cary Grant is always a joy to watch, so good looking too.

Much of the film could be called light comedy, but it is quite philosophical too and would have seemed unusual in its day and thought-provoking.

    Perhaps one of the characteristics of a great movie is whether it can still stand over time - which , for me , this movie represents such.
    it seems a light comedy but has certain circumstances and dialogue which make it much more . For instance , I loved the part after the train wreck incident Deborah is crying - " ...I put all those candles on your cake and you're really only 9 years old" - very funny!!
    Yet, the comment of Mr. Shaughnessy to the professor , who instigated the "trial " , ( You're a little man...} was priceless.... and touchingly loyal to Dr. Pretorius. Cary Grant and Jeanne Crain were great, as usual - in fact the whole cast did a great job to make this movie very entertaining. Thank you

      The opening titles for this film clearly indicate that the screenplay was written by the director, based on the stage play by Curt Goetz. So its a play adapted for film and the "System" at the time didn't care if different production companies from different countries did the same IP. In some ways, there's cultural artifacts which probably won't translate well directly. This is also why there were so many foreign films being "rebooted" in 1960s Hollywood.

    Love this movie every time I see it. Got something else out of it this time. Nothing new under the sun. All doctors, et al, should have this perspective. It's not about business, but all about the patient and getting him/her well. Bravo!

    Superb film. I've watched it a number of times. And I'll watch it a number of times again. Cary Grant is just great in this film as he is in every film.

    An unusual, but great film. Empathy is what is lacking in modern medicine.

    Seeing this for the first time (I am 66) it`s was good, better than 85% of what I see in the last few decades.

    Thank you so very much for uploading this film. So witty,elegant and wise in every way - and still so very much current in every way. I longed for a film with Cary Grant, but I never heard about this one.
