Marvelous film dealing with the medical profession and its effects on those who serve it along with their loved ones.

Clark Gable is great as the terrific doctor with a future, ready to cast much of it aside for love of the wealthy snob played wonderfully by Myrna Loy. Dr. Gable stands up to a head doctor in treating a patient, a young girl, he later saves.

In the year before she tackled the role of Lucie Manette in the memorable "A Tale of 2 Cities," Elizabeth Allan is superb in the supporting role of a nurse who loved Gable, before tragedy strikes.

Gene Hershholt is memorable as Dr. Hochberg, the 1930s answer to Raymond Massey in the Dr. Kildare series on television in the 1960s.

This is a story of dedication, ethics, and those committed to medicine, no matter the cost.
