Michael Corday (Glenn Ford) is an arrogant medical school graduate. His father is a highly successful doctor in New York City. He fights with his sister who wants to move out with her boyfriend. He begins an internship at Bellevue Hospital. He dislikes the chaos and dismisses the patients. He is reprimanded for his bad bedside manners. He tries to be nice to candy store girl Evelyn (Janet Leigh) and starts to fall in love with his patient. His father disapproves of the budding relationship and threatens to pull his support.
This movie feels rather dated and I'm not complaining about it. She's Janet Leigh and his father is bent out of shape. Just look at her. Have you got eyes? Quite frankly, she's a grounded character. Her greatest sin is poverty. The father's argument should be that she's a gold-digger. It shouldn't be a matter of professional advancement. If they want to marry, she can dress up to be a doctor's wife. His advancement should be a separate issue after he starts up the clinic for the poor. The dated morality actually holds a bit of interest for me. On the other hand, the drama isn't that high.
