Dr. Sam Abelman (Paul Muni) is a Jewish doctor contentedly spending his autumn years serving his own Brooklyn neighborhood. But when his nephew, would-be journalist Myron (Joby Baker), writes an article about him, it draws the attention of a producer, Woodrow Thrasher (David Wayne), who believes Abelman a good candidate for a TV show. The doctor, however, is suspicious of the whole enterprise, thinking both Myron and Thrasher are simply out to make a fast buck.

steve d The script is just ok but the actors are great. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review s r Sentimental and interesting, but a let down of an ending. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member While it is interesting to see the elderly Muni out and about in a late 50s film, it is of note only because it was his last film. This tale of an idealistic doctor is only passable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member this is also the last film of the great actor paul muni Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member good stuff early billy dee! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good film starring Paul Muni (in his final film) as a doctor who treats poor people in the poor neighborhood he lives in. His story catches the eye of a TV producer who wants to turn his life into a television show. Though the story isn't that great, Muni gives a very fine performance and the supporting cast do a nice job as well. Worth watching if you get the chance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
