Movie Info

After arriving to his new post in a hospital pathology department, Dr. David Coleman (Ben Gazzara) clashes with the department head, Dr. Pearson (Fredric March). Pearson, who views Coleman as competition, thinks the young doctor is too brash. The older doctor does not agree with Coleman's suggestion to test a pregnant mother for a blood disease. When the baby is born very sick, and it becomes clear that Coleman was correct, Pearson must assess his place in the hospital.

Critic Reviews for The Young Doctors

All Critics (3) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (1)

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.

Isabel Quigly
The Spectator
Harrowing hospital drama has some medical insights, but is grim and terrifying.
