Michael Corday has his medical degree from Harvard and is ready to begin his internship at NYC's Bellevue. His proud father (Charles Coburn), a noted surgeon, counsels him to make his own career a priority. "Be impersonal and aloof," he says. "Your patients are merely cases." The advice sticks...for a while. Michael's transition from cold professional to caring physician provides the compassionate core of this tale accented with vivid location filming. Glenn Ford portrays the doctor and Janet Leigh plays the shopgirl who enters his life as one of those "merely cases" and emerges as his bride. Inspired by her, Michael forsakes lucrative opportunities and becomes a neighborhood physician. His choices create a rift with his father - a rift mended when both men face a tragedy involving Michael's sister (Gloria De Haven). Nancy Davis (the future Mrs. Ronald Reagan) plays the other Corday sister.

Sweet romantic drama
Janet Leigh and Glenn Ford make a nice couple in this film. The development of the young doctor into a compassionate physician is very well done story. Good script and acting.

For a friend
An old doctor I met in Italy last year told me that when he was a young boy in 1949 he saw this film and it influenced him to become a doctor. He has not seen it in 64 years so when I returned to the US, I found it on Amazon & sent it to him. He called to thank me for my thoughtfulness and said that he has been enjoying reliving that moment that decided his life's career.

Great cast, solid performances!
Good solid movie with strong casting and performances. Charles Coburn is, as always, a great asset to this movie. Glen Ford was great as always. Not quite a 5-star movie, but one I am happy to have in my collection.
