Movie Info
In this adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Sinclair Lewis, Dr. Martin Arrowsmith (Ronald Colman) marries nurse Leora Tozer (Helen Hayes) and misses out on a position with the esteemed Prof. Max Gottlieb. When Swedish scientist Gustav Sondelius (Richard Bennett) invites Arrowsmith to help fight an outbreak of the bubonic plague in the West Indies, he must reconcile his desire for prestige and dedication to the scientific method with the needs of real people in pain.

Aug 12, 2007I was glad to have caught this on Turner Classics a few weeks back. I have always thought that Ronald Colman was terribly underrated and overshadowed by Clark Gable who he resembled greatly. This is great depiction of how personal amibition and ethics often have great impacts on how personal lives are lived.John B Super Reviewer
