Fredric March Drama Collection

"SYNOPSIS:
The story represents an idealistic clash between two pathologists, one (Fredric March) the veteran department head whose ideals and perspective have been mellowed and blunted somewhat by years of red tape and day-to-day frustration, the other (Ben Gazzara), his new assistant, young, aggressive, up-to-date and meticulous in his approach to the job. The conflict is dramatically illustrated via two critical cases in which both are pretty intimately involved."
Synopsis from: www.rarefilmm.com/

Love F. March, he was so good looking, but he still never bores me. The older he got, the better his acting.

[@kathleenharris3403]

I love watching March in anything...he is a wonder.

[@nobodyaskedbut]

Basically March and Paul Muni created the film acting art form in the early 1930s. The performance by March as Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1932) is one of the greatest in film history.

[@juliavalevska5677]

The great film, the excellent actor Frederick March! Thank you so much for posting this

[@AstralPixie]

Wow, this took me through the ringer. Great movie, what a cast. I cried.... several times. Thank you for posting.

[@vajee5]

Frederick March, top drawer performer

[@sunflowerdreamer]

Thank you so much for putting this great movie here! One of my favorites and one of the "stark reality" movies in that era. Later on I worked in pathology at a hospital, which made me realize how much this movie was so authentic. A lot of changes in medicine in the last 50 years!

[@kakadoodoo3000]

+Donna Polockow My pleasure. :) So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for saying this movie was authentic. :)

Full term baby's weigh is about 7 lbs, this movie reminds me what my older brother told me about his first baby's weigh at brith wasen't full term, 3 pounds had to spend along time in an incubator. She's about 45 yrs old and and about 160 now. Thanks KZbin great dramatic medical movie and actors Fredric March and Eddie Albert.

[@KuznVinny]

Wow! One of the very tops I've been wanting. SO WONDERFUL. A huge cast of wonderful actors in an even better movie. Thank you!

[@kakadoodoo3000]

+KuznVinny My pleasure. :) I love Mr. March. I do what I can to preserve his memory. People need to remember how all-around awesome he was.

[@KuznVinny]

+kakadoodoo3000 Yes, I agree. He is the highlight. I do also love many of the others, e.g. Aline MacMahon, Ina Balin, Edward Andrews, Ben Gazzara, and Eddie Albert. Truly a great cast!

[@JohnPMitten]

Another great Fre dric March movie. Thanks.

[@surferpam1]

The 1961 film is titled, "The Young Doctors" and features, possibly, the finest acting performance Dick Clark ever gave.

[@mistofoles]

In the book, Pearson resigned because the baby died. (He was indirectly responsible for its death by failing to act on a recommendation of a further blood test.)

[@raymondcancel7011]

They don't make actors like F. March anymore!

[@kakadoodoo3000]

Indeed not. He was one of a kind. 🥰

[@j7286]

Worth it for Gazzara doing his Brando imitation.

[@AstralPixie]

That was funny.

[@peasblossom1973]

It was movies like this that made me want to become a nurse when I was a kid. In addition, the baby in this movie has to be the all-time cutest baby ever born. Seriously.

[@KuznVinny]

+peasblossom1973 I believe I have seen this same baby used in other medical shows - even the same footage.

[@peasblossom1973]

Lol! I wish we could find this baby now KuznVinny.

[@kakadoodoo3000]

+KuznVinny Wonder who said "Baby, I'm gonna make you a star!" :D Very observant! Thank you for your comment. :)

[@kakadoodoo3000]

+peasblossom1973 Me too. :) Hope it's not haunted. I wonder if it's in a museum, somewhere.

[@peasblossom1973]

I'm not sure if they used a real hospital for this movie, but check out "The Interns" and "The New Interns" - they used the old L.A. County General for those, and it's still there.

[@mistofoles]

This movie is based on the 1959 novel THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS by Arthur Hailey, a very good book.

[@sunflowerdreamer]

Arthur Hailey also wrote AIRPORT and HOTEL but I still think THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS was his best!!@

[@reneeblair7593]

Very good movie! Watch it and you will enjoy it too....

[@kathyflorcruz552]

"Nothing like living" says the wise old doc, as he blows smoke in the nurses face! Of course, smoking WAS recommended BY docs back then.

[@kakadoodoo3000]

You're absolutely right about that. Mr. March even had a Lucky Strikes print ad, with the words " Just what the doctor ordered." :D

[@seglora7219]

English subtitles available on open subtitles org

[@janiswhitford5891]

Great movie

[@kyahstewart1135]

This was very nice to watch, thank you 'could you possibly arrange a Frederic March movie, called--"One Foot In Heaven?' Please

[@valpurves45]

fredric march absolutely consummate actor and sooo handsome!

[@Hal09i]

Interesting how society and its views have changed. In that era, it was natural that the young people coming up would replace the old hands. The idea of making room and the old giving way to the new was accepted really without question. If this movie were made today, you would have March staying on, and the young doctor apologizing, realizing he had a lot to learn. Not saying either is *right*, just how things have changed.

[@mistofoles]

Bizarrely, Ben Gazzara, later turned up in ROAD HOUSE with Patrick Swayze.

[@girlonfire981]

Best Fredric March film of all time, except maybe THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

[@johnnybrighton9156]

Give Seven Days in May and Executive Suite a try.

[@hellokitty777able]

Les miserable

[@wk1810]

Middle of the Night 1959 w/Kim Novak and Fredric March - check it out, great film!

[@paulaskeete1243]

The best Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

[@mistofoles]

A youthful George Segal @22:23 !

[@cathycartee4180]

Not the best quality and the film is cropped but it's watchable.

[@kakadoodoo3000]

Only copy I could find. We all have to make do.

[@girlonfire981]

if you're interested in a copy I got one off thevideobeat

[@KathrynPieta]

If you have chromecast etc. you can watch I Married A Witch free on archive.org. Google watch IMAW & it will go directly to movie. archive.org will be listed as a site choice.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

Hey, that's Ronnie Reagan making that opening speech!

[@KathrynPieta]

I thought it was Tyrone P.

[@mistofoles]

Did you know that's Ronald Reagan who does the opening voice-over?

[@kakadoodoo3000]

+mistofoles Wow, thanks for that info! :)

[@easilyamuzed2190]

wow! you are right! my husband was walking by while I was watching this movie and he asked me who that was speaking? I Said Fredric March? then later I read your comment and he said " oh yeah I thought so!"

[@kakadoodoo3000]

Thank you Catherine Caster :)

[@csfan65]

WHY isn't this movie available on dvd??? Why Why Why? One of my all time favorites and I can't even get a copy of it. TCM rarely show it anymore. Can anyone get me a copy of this movie?

[@KuznVinny]

+Johnny Buck Try www.keepvid.com

[@csfan65]

+KuznVinny Thank you. Will check it out.

[@kakadoodoo3000]

+Johnny Buck Hello. Were you already able to get a copy? :) If not, you could try downloading it, through Mozilla Firefox's Download Helper.

[@csfan65]

No, still haven't been able to obtain a copy. Don't understand why someone will not put this out on dvd. This is one of a few of my favorites that I can't get on dvd, but can watch them here on youtube. Thanks for posting, kakadoodoo3000.

[@kakadoodoo3000]

My pleasure. :) So glad that people enjoy it. I love Mr. March so much. :) I do what I can to preserve his memory, and hopefully, attract new fans.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

That was the easiest removal of a brain since The Man With Two Brains. Nyuk,nyuk😉!

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

A very good Movie!

[@joan6187]

Doctors performing abortions hardened their hearts to the opening words to do no harm to their patients. May each doctor and worker in these killing clinics be shamed by these words.

[@circumnavigatehzimmermanbr3213]

JoAn Karkos itty and get

[@kathyflorcruz552]

JoAn Karkos Oh, hell, for so MUCH more than that.

[@joan6187]

A high risk that can be avoided is breast cancer. It was once an old women's disease. The ABC link is blacked out. Mother's are not fairly given an INFORMED choice and too many women battle the horror of breast cancer. Plan Parenthood fears to even show mother's the baby in the womb with ultrasound equipment. Their business is killing babies. Mothers once again RISK their own lives. Too many mothers aborting THEIR BABIES die! Health care for mothers aborting their child is EXTREMELY NEGLIGIBLE in Planned Parenthood murdering centers. www.rtl.org/prolife_issues/LifeNotes/AbortionsLinktoBreastCancer.html

[@joan6187]

Many mothers die opting to destroy their child in the womb. See "Life Dynamics" website. Mark Crutcher has a list of mothers who were murdered byabortion doctors. Abortion is a very dangerous surgery. Grievously you are obviously in defense of innocent babies slaughtered while in the womb of their mothers to experience a horribly, excruciatingly painful death. Think about it. Who will defend you when you are in need of defense?

[@joan6187]

You do not want an argument....however, your justification of abortion and birth controlling are not rooted on safe ground and leads to many other atrocities against humanity. Did you know birth controlling is a satanic practice and violates the Commandment of God as does abortion. He sends the life and only He can take life away.

[@roblavigne1822]

terrible actor ben gazarra.

[@charliewest1221]

Yes, havta agree.
