    Lucas Marsh, an intern bent upon becoming a first-class doctor, not merely a successful one. He courts and marries the warm-hearted Kristina, not out of love but because she is highly knowledgeable in the skills of the operating room and because she has frugally put aside her savings through the years. She will be, as he shrewdly knows, a supportive wife in every way. She helps make him the success he wants to be and cheerfully moves with him to the small town in which he starts his practice. But as much as he tries to be a good husband to the undemanding Kristina, Marsh easily falls into the arms of a local siren and the patience of the long-sorrowing Kristina wears thin.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Olivia de Havilland and Robert Mitchum prepared for their roles by attending eight operations. Broderick Crawford attended an autopsy for his autopsy scene and promptly got sick.

This is one of the first films where the beating human heart is portrayed during open-heart surgery.

The first film directed by long-time producer Stanley Kramer.

There was a such a boisterous atmosphere on this shoot that Robert Mitchum described it as "not so much a cast as a brewery !"

Stanley Kramer claimed that Gloria Grahame put a piece of tissue under her upper lip because she was convinced it made her look sexier.

Popular Dialogues

"Dr. Aarons: [Opening lines] Gentlemen, this is a corpse!"

"Dr. Aarons: There is a tradition among medical students that dealing with death humorously makes things easier. It doesn't. There may be a successful Joke about death in the abstract, but l have never heard it. About death in the particular, believe me there is nothing funny at all. I have been a pathologist for over twenty-five years, I haven't been able to get a single laugh out of it yet."
