Spoilers.. lots of heavy issues being tackled here in this one. Erroll flynn, cedric hardwicke, spring byington star. Faith versus science. Right versus wrong. Pride versus self sacrifice for the greater good. Some deep discussions going on. A patient about to undergo surgery says her faith will get her through. But when she dies, she leaves her money to the hospital that just made an error, causing her death. The accused doctor won't stand up for himself, and goes off to work on a new vaccine for a disease caused by ticks. And almost gives his own life in the process. Everyone seems okay with their own choices, including the old, grumpy doctor who made the mistake, but won't own up to it. It's all intertwined. Throw in a love story, as the daughter of the deceased old lady falls in love with one of the doctors. Co-stars anita louise, margaret lindsay, henry oneill. It's okay. Directed by frank borzage. He had won two oscars in the early days of talkies. Based on the novel by lloyd douglas, who actually was a minister. That explains why faith and religion figure into many of his stories. He had many works made into film. It's not bad, but there are so many issues going on, i'm not sure just what the main lesson is here.
