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!!! Thanks for sharing this reply with me. I hope you will agree with this very late assessment of an icon that shall remain in memory forever!!

@@carbine090909 My doctors are great too. 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.'

Based on the German play by Curt Goetz, which was made into a movie in Germany (Doktor med. Hiob Prätorius, 1950). I didn't know until today that there was a film version with Cary Grant and only knew the German film version. I am very happy to be able to see this wonderful version now.

[@GrandpasOldMoviesChest]

[@michaelgardner-vn6kn]

Anything written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz is a pure delight. I can't believe I can watch this here free! All About Eve and A Letter to Three Wives are two similar films with sophisticated dialogue like in this gem. In any film written by Mankiewicz, a character will mention "Wilkes-Barre," an homage to the Pennsylvania city where he was born.

[@michaelhuck]

Actually this movie is based on a play by Curt Goetz and the play had a far better ending and also the Cary Grant movie has a very goog beginning, the one of Goetz is even better, in the Goetz version Praetorios and his wife die in a car accident (and yes, Curt Goetz can make even this funny in a nonoffensive way!), Too bad Grant did not another Goetz movie, one of his other plays "Hokuspokus" is even better.

[@veronicacobb8691]

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. Thank you so much for your post ! Hope you have a merry Christmas ! 🎄

Fine fun film. Finlay Currie as "Mr. Shunderson" plays a phenomenal part and his story at the end is told so flat and direct with only the slightest embellishment that it should have been given a best supporting actor Oscar award.

Thank you! 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.

There still actually are physicians who care for rhe whole person and give them the time needed. I worked for one who spent one day each week in a very poor, rural community.

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.

Such a wonderful story with many lessons in humanity to be learned. What a shame people aren't like this anymore. We could all learn a lesson in forgiveness and helping others from this story. As well as learning. I LOVE it when Noah puts John in his place by criticizing farm subsidies after John asks him if he makes a lot of money. It goes to show the hypocrisy in John and his 'holier than thou' lifestyle. Because unlike Noah who actually EARNS his money, John gets paid by the government for NOT working and on top of it, cheats on his income tax!

This movie is a favorite of mine. Both the protagonist and the antagonist parts were played with real gusto. Grant was the heroic dedicated doctor and Cronyn was the dedicated villen the interaction was well done.

Shunderson (Findlay Currie) delivers one of the best soliloquies to shut down The Bad Guy.

[@ollietsb1704]

Hume Cronyn started with three great roles: as a murder mystery fan in Hitchcocks' SHADOW OF A DOUBT; the most evil prison guard boss in BRUTE FORCE (1947 vs. Burt Lancaster, a real battle of little evil man vs. Big Convict Burt), and this in PEOPLE WILL TALK. The COCOONs and BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED are great bookends for his life in film.

How rare is it to see such a healthy depiction of marriage, a real man isn’t afraid of appearances or a fragile ego. He loved this woman and the child would be their child no matter what. During that era even more it was taboo thank god for Cary grant and his characters we can all learn from

It’s a complete and utter fantasy, it’s in no man’s interest to do something like he did, marry a woman after knowing her no time, and take on her child. Utter insanity

Jean Crain had interesting social issues roles in Pinky, Cheaper by the Dozen, Aparyartment for Peggy, Model and the Marriage Broker, and A Letter to Three Wives. Cary Grant advocated for helping foster children in Room for One More and Father Goose.
