Movie Info

Her Favorite Patient is the TV title for Bedside Manner, an improbable comedy directed by future master of "realism" Andrew L. Stone. Ruth Hussey plays a big-city doctor who travels to a small town to assist her surgeon uncle (Charlie Ruggles). The townsfolk resist the notion of a female physician, but she wins them over by proving to be an expert on all things medical. Test pilot John Carroll, love-struck by Ms. Hussey, fakes a head injury so that he can remain at her side. Despite her high I.Q., Hussey can't see through Carroll's ruse...or perhaps she prefers not to.

Audience Reviews for Her Favorite Patient

  • Nov 28, 2010
    Slight but cute B level comedy with Ruth Hussey sharp in the lead and Charlie Ruggles most amusing as her uncle. This is the kind of quickie that filled the bottom half of the bill during war time to rise spirits and on that basis it's quite effective.
