The Young Doctors (1961)

This reminded me a lot of Not as a Stranger, both stories focusing on the lives of doctors. This film is a lot more focused in story, centering on a hospital’s old pathologist played by Frederic March who is less than eager to train his replacement, Ben Gazzara. Instead of getting bogged down in the melodrama of the doctors’ personal lives, it keeps the drama close to the hospital, following a couple of different cases that all intersect with the pathology department. The production won’t blow anyone’s mind, but is entertaining and includes some smaller performances from Dick Clark, Eddie Albert, and George Segal all as doctors.
