Review by Pat Corroo (posted on 4-Feb-2008)

This is a movie I had always wanted to see after hearing about George C. Scott's performance and the script from the magical pen of Paddy Chayefsky. It did not disappoint, as Mr. Scott was mesmerizing and Barnard Hughes is hilarious as a doctor/patient. There are other stars such as Diana Rigg, Nancy Marchand and Frances Sternhagen and all are wonderful in their roles. The heart of the movie is Mr. Scott, futilely trying to keep his Manhattan hospital going as people die all around him through mismanagement and plain stupidity. He has a couple of great through-his-teeth diatribes ala Patton at various staff members, which is worth the price of admission! If you have a chance to see it as I did on TCM this last Friday night, don't miss it.
