One of the 10 commandments of modern ethics for medical doctors is they must not become involved with their patients--taking advantage of their superior position to fan the flames of romance in the patient.
Stanwyck could have won a big lawsuit in today's feminist world.
That romantic angle out of it, this movie takes a lot of material from Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. From the importance of the thermometers to the patients disappearing at night (dead down the service elevator).
As some other reviewer stated Stanwyck can turn any role into something watchable....this silly movie taxed her talents to the limit.
Is she going to die??? I am not sure that was a given as others stated... but after all the silly iconic fluff of Monte Carlo and race car drivers you really don't care.
Not a memorable performance.
It gets a 5
