A gem of a film dealing with the trials and tribulations of being a doctor's wife. Those emergencies can and always shall kick in at any time, and true to the Hippocratic Oath that each doctor takes, he or she is bound by them.

With flu like symptoms Dorothy McGuire goes to see William Lundigan, the doctor and winds up marrying him in no time. Lundigan is a take charge kind of guy, and you can't really blame him for that as he is an M.D.

Then we have the usual jealously of his doctor assistant, and Jesse Royce Landis, the latter plotting with the assistant to destroy the marriage.

By film's end, McGuire comes to appreciate the men and women at the hospital where her husband works, when their twin babies accidentally swallow poison..

The film reunited McGuire with June Havoc. 3 years before, they were in the memorable Oscar-winner "Gentleman's Agreement," and while they had no scenes together in that masterpiece of a film, they sure made up for that in this film.
