Full Plot Details

In 1944, Capt. Josiah J. Newman is the doctor in charge of Ward 7, the neuropsychiatric ward, at an Army Air Corps hospital in Arizona. The hospital is under-resourced and Newman scrounges what he needs with the help of his inventive staff, especially Cpl. Jake Leibowitz. The military in general is only just coming to accept psychiatric disorders as legitimate and Newman generally has 6 weeks to cure them or send them on to another facility. There are many patients in the ward and his latest include Colonel Norville Bliss who has dissociated from his past; Capt. Paul Winston who is nearly catatonic after spending 13 months hiding in a cellar behind enemy lines; and 20 year-old Cpl. Jim Tompkins who is severely traumatized after his aircraft was shot down. Others come and go, including Italian prisoners of war, but Newman and team all realize that their success means the men will return to their units and combat.

Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyBobby Darin received his first and only Oscar nomination for playing a shell-shocked soldier-patient under the care of Gregory Peck's military psychiatrist.
User Review - 10/10 by Erik WBefore M*A*S*H and Catch-22, there was this little gem of a movie. A great mix of drama, humor and tragedy. Gregory Peck delivers a great performance as he always does and Tony Curtis provides excellent comic relief as the orderly that Peck shang-hi's into his ward who also has interesting medical opinions. Angie Dickinson as the nurse that Peck ends up recruiting to help him, also his love interest. And excellent performances by Eddie Albert as a
User Review - 10/10 by David BOne of only a handful of films that tackles the trauma experienced by servicemen coming back from war using some psychology and quite a bit of heart. Masterful performances by Peck and Curtis, Dickinson plays the "love interest" in an unsatisfying role. A couple of other complex cases are featured including Bobby Darin who was the "soup de jour" at that time and delivers a pretty good Academy Award nominated performance. An anti war film which no doubt the Bush Family did not have in their collection and many other politicians/leaders should watch to see what happens when they decide to "do" war. Recommended.
User Review - 10/10 by Diana WI consider this a Dark Christmas Movie! Xtra Special Holiday Treats...Tony Curtis...Bobby Darin...Larry Storch...and perhaps my first introduction to Robert Duvall.
User Review - 10/10 by Donnie MThis was one of those movies where I couldn't tell if it was a drama or a comedy. And by the time to movie ended I didn't care cause it was FANTASTIC! Gregory Peck gave an awesome performance! And Tony Curtis was hilarious! This is a great movie and if you like Gregory Peck or classic films this is a must watch!
User Review - 8/10 by Ryan GThis is the story of a military doctor working at a mental hospital in Arizona catering to soldiers during World War II, and all of the various tuff he has to deal with, from suffering patients, to an oddball new orderly, and a relationship with one of the nurses. The thing that immediately caught my attention was the cast: Gregory Peck, Tony Curtis, Angie Dickinson, Eddie Albert. Dick Sargenym and supporting roles by Bobby Darin and Robert Duvall. The cast alone makes this a hell of a picture. It's not just the cast, though. There's a good story here. It's a nice little melodrama typical of the times filled with humor, romance, and sadness, but the cast holds it together. I was really happy with how they were able to blend the laughs with some of the more serious stuff and keep it from being too corny. The cast are great, and so are their performances. Peck is in typical Peck mode, but that's just fine. Curtis is a real scene stealer, providing some of the best laugh moments, a lot of which are caused just because of goofy faces he makes. The real drama is brought by Darin, Albert, and Duvall who all have some terrific moments of real, moving acting. This is just a nice good old fashioned film, but that's okay. I liked it. It's entertaining, yet it tries to do a little more.
User Review - 8/10 by K SFresh off his Academy Award for To Kill a Mockingbird, Gregory Peck jumps into a comedy drama and surrounds himself with some very capable players: Tony Curtis, Angie Dickinson, Eddie Albert, Dick Sargent and a young Robert Duvall. This isn't a perfect movie by any means but it delivers on the laughs and at no point did I feel the story arch was being lost behind the occasional comic spot of Curtis. Peck isn't given much to work with in terms of character however he reveals his extraordinary ability to be convincing in reacting and observing the other patients. One of the better scenes is one where Bobby Darin is dreaming and explaining his problems to Peck and Dickinson in a hospital room. This is a very well constructed war, drama-comedy and is full of strong players and performances. About as interesting as a military hospital film can be.
User Review - 6/10 by Rob NEnjoyable comic drama. Peck is a tower of strength, Angie stalwart, and Tony Curtis most amusing which is welcome when it gets to be heavy going at times. Rest of the cast full of familiar faces perform well. Only problem is that it's overlong.
User Review - 6/10 by Jim LPretty good, if this is your genre of movie. Not exactly my kind, but I'm a big Tony Curtis fan, and he has a fun part. Gregory Peck has that enjoyable sort of straight-man personality that he does so well. Overall, a bit long and just not very compelling, but an interesting look into a wartime psychiatric ward, not the first thing you'd think about in a war movie.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DFlirts between comedy and drama, but makes some good points about wartime mental health before it finishes. It's isn't however a stand-out performance film.
