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.

Martin B Apr 15 A lot of good actors and the script could have been good. Unfortunately they cast Muni in the lead and as is his custom he tried to steal every scene and over acted the movie into a corny mess that was laughable by his characters death scene. See more steve d 07/20/2020 The script is just ok but the actors are great. See more s r @ScottR 01/11/2018 Sentimental and interesting, but a let down of an ending. See more 11/20/2013 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. See more 09/26/2012 this is also the last film of the great actor paul muni See more 03/03/2010 good stuff early billy dee!
