The film starts out realistically as an idealistic Barbara Stanwyck learns the ropes of being a nurse. She is quickly befriended by a somewhat jaded nurse played by Joan Blondell. Ethical considerations become a main theme of the film but they're not always observed in the hospital. Joan and Barbara put in solid performances, and frankly, they do a great of exposing some beautiful flesh in this pre-code production. However, as the film goes on the plot becomes improbable. Nothing seems believable about it. The film is mostly a drama with some absorbing scenes but the specifics of the plot make very little sense.
