The Secret of Dr. Kildare (1939) LIONEL BARRYMORE

[@muniama1]

This movie just simply puts a smile on my face. What sweet entertainment. Mr. Lionel Barrymore, and to the rest of the cast you are a blessing.

[@Syntheonline]

The Secret of Dr. Kildare is one of my favorite oldies! Loved everything about this one.

[@EJLegionHonor]

That doctor or Lionel Barrymore in a wheelchair performance was superb and incredible

[@rg1whiteywins598]

I love these old medical shows. This is excellent.

[@johnhenderson131]

16:04 Me too and I’ve already seen them more times than I care to admit. It was these films that helped me decide to go to med school….many years ago! Barrymore was such a good actor. He had an accident that put him in a wheelchair, it’s not a prop for the movie, he actually needed it.

[@1LSWilliam]

The opening is beyond marvellous, even for Barrymore, may he RIP.

[@jeccawillow3635]

Excellent quality, what a wonderful black and white film , fab cast. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Thank you for sharing.

[@宮内利明-q8g]

I was so absorbed in the story that I felt as if I were there with them even in such an old film of 1939. Thanks.

I have one rule: First come, first served; rich, poor in the middle. This doctor is a man of character, courage, and integrity.

[@Ckom-Tunes]

He then goes on to violate the principle based on how much he can charge the rich...

I love the way the script, the scene and the dialogue setup without any music playing

[@starfighter1972]

Didn't even notice that! Isn't that peculiar? films of today without music seem empty but this film was so complete. I'm astonished.

[@tebelshaw9486]

[@Rubi-ll8ss]

Larraine Day was great as well. Her character should never have been killed off.

[@chynnadoll3277]

When my dad was in the service back in World War II, he was stationed in California briefly. One time when he had a weekend pass, he went to the Hollywood Canteen. Laraine Day was working at the Canteen the evening he went there. He said she was a real sweetheart 😌.

[@walkoffamewednesdayswithto7237]

Wow! Another free film and it has Lionel Barrymore! I just did an episode on him and caught all of his big films and wondered about these. Might just have to give this a full gander after my meeting!

[@patrickreagan6443]

These movies are refreshing

[@Rubi-ll8ss]

Has anybody noticed the great chemistry between Lew Ayers And LaraIne Day? I noticed it in all of the films they made together.

[@Rubi-ll8ss]

Please watch Fingers at the Window.both Lew and LaraIne truly shined in the film. Saw ye

[@rebeccaherschman1635]

What a wonderfu time to live in. I love this series. Thanks for the upload

[@loge10]

I've been a old movie buff for 50 years but I had never seen a Dr Kildare film. I have been seeing some other Lew Ayers movies recently and I'm always impressed with him so I thought I'd give them a try. I'm glad I did. An amazing cast - a roster of MGM stalwarts who almost feel like family - and even Grandmama Addams (Blossom Rock - what a wild name). Wonderful writing - lots of sardonic banter between people who really care for each other. Wonderful entertainment if you don't mind suspending your disbelief a little bit. And Lew Ayers just radiates decency. Has he ever played against type? It would be interesting to see.

[@missannie1942]

loge10 I wish someone would answer your question.

[@ladywisewolf3942]

Well, yes, Lew Ayres did play against "type" in many of his very early films. Just look up his filmography. He played a German soldier in WWI in "All Quiet on the Western Front" , he played a murderous gangster, and a prisoner in a penitentiary. But he was also well known for playing somewhat alcoholic playboys in several films including "Holiday" where he played Katherine Hepburn's brother.

[@loge10]

I was thinking more of the "murderers gangster" type. In AQOTWF and Holiday ( which I own and love), he still plays very decent people-and I just love him in Holiday.

[@Rubi-ll8ss]

The gangster type he played in wás in Gateway to Hell.😊

[@Rubi-ll8ss]

Ayers played an out of work actor in Fingers at the Window, where his character is questionable in his motives towards LaraIne Days character. That movie is an underated gem. Windows is. An early Noir as well.The shots were filmed by Harry Stranding, who was a pioneer in Noir Cinematography

[@CaptainNavman]

Always liked Mr Ayres and that amazing Mr Barrymore

[@shelleymcafee8197]

Great movie, Thank-You!

[@Theywaswrong]

Love old B&W movies. Watched all the Dr. Kildare movies many, many times. It just puts me in some sort of mellow mood. Maybe its the times these movies came from. I don't know. And I have to admit I enjoy the Nancy Drew movies from the same period. Sometimes I imagine what it must have been like to go to a matinee in those days to see Dr. Kildare and Lew Ayers is just the best in these movies. Those times in the late 30's as the economy began to come out of depression and before the damn European/Asian wars came to our shores.

[@mariarooney6262]

[@johnhenderson131]

16:04 That’s funny…Sulphapyridine hasn’t been used to treat humans in years. Antibiotics made it almost obsolete and today only veterinarians used the drug. It’s nostalgic to hear of drugs I learned about such a long time ago when I was in University!

[@Miss65boo]

There are a lot of theories of why Lionel Barrymore was in a wheelchair, but the consensus seems to be that it was a combination of breaking a hip twice over a period of years and serious arthritis, which made walking very painful. He could get about on crutches for a short period of time but it was difficult. He definitely was one of a kind.

[@cristineconnell7803]

I can't even imagine working through that pain! Put put sure, that can actually help you ignore much! But the demands of making a movie, whole different thing!

[@ladywisewolf3942]

A little bit of trivia: In the scene in the Long Island lunch room where Dr. Kildare is waiting for the bus to arrive, he asks the cook if the busses are on time. That cook was Mickey Rooney's father. Mickey was one of the biggest stars at MGM at that time doing the "Andy Hardy" film series, his father was an out of work ex-vaudevillian . So Mickey would find small parts for him in what ever he could around the studio. Also the creepy ex-nanny who convinces the debutante to see the quack "doctor" was played by Sara Haden, also a part of the "Andy Hardy" series where she had a continuing part as Andy's spinster aunt.

[@danielstanwyck2812]

how nice to see another person's mention of alma kruger! she was also great in Craig's Wife where she stands up to Rosalind Russell's awful wife in the title. also as ralph bellamy's mother in His Girl Friday. AND a Nazi society matron in Hitchcock'S Saboteur!

This old movie never seems old-fashioned but rather quite new to me. Why? After multi-sights, I found it implying lots of everlasting and universal concepts in it. Eg. "Nothing is so blind as those who won’t see."
