The film somehow succeeds in depicting the average intern as some kind of a Hippocratic oaf.

[The Interns is an] immature film, wherein everything is so slight and slapdash that it could be a paste-up of several television serial shows.

A bountiful cast of stars pull an otherwise depressing story out of the doldrums.

I saw the movie when it came out in the early 60's. It was a big hit and Columbia's largest grossing movie for the year. This was followed up by the New Interns several years later and then a TV series called the Interns. It was one of the better movies from that era of film production.
