      Audience Member Probably my favorite medical movie of all time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It's an entertaining little melodrama. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member good but no dr. kildare here Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Very great movie. Stellar performances by Ben Gazzara and Fredric March. Music is unbelievable by Elmer Bernstein. Hard to find. Get it from the Video Beat. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member In The Young Doctors, an emotionally affecting medical drama that presents sticky moral dilemmas with characters we care about, decisions (and indecisions) are tough. Every action counts in a LIFE OR DEATH kind of way. The film's character development and relations are so well thought out that it has a seamlessly credible quality. Plus, there's a baby you almost cry about during one operation. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Isabel Quigly The Spectator It's too rich, too plummy a mixture for artistic translation, and although some genius might make us take to heart the agonies and excitements, in the ordinary way they simply provide an enjoyable off-reality, realism at a suspect level. Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Harrowing hospital drama has some medical insights, but is grim and terrifying.
