Full Plot Details

Intern Lucas Marsh is intent upon becoming not just a successful doctor but a first-class 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. He shrewdly knows that she will be 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 long-sorrowing Kristina wears thin. She reasons he no longer needs her and asks for a divorce. A calamity now brings Marsh to his senses. Dr. Runkleman, Marsh's gruff and wise employer, is stricken with a heart attack and requires emergency surgery. Marsh is forced to operate.

Movie Reviews

The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Nathan RabinNot As A Stranger taps into the raging fury and animal sexuality lurking underneath Mitchum’s quiet-storm demeanor; the film’s redemptive arc requires him to realize what he has in a good, wholesome woman like de Havilland, but Mitchum’s bedroom eyes and leering swagger suggest that he really belongs to a femme fatale like Grahame, who undoubtedly tumbled out of the womb clutching a cigarette in one hand and a glass of scotch in the other.
Time Out - 7/10 by Tom MilneThe exceptional cast helps to while away the platitudes and pieties, provided you can accept the likes of Mitchum, Sinatra and Marvin as somewhat wrinkly students.
Alexander On Film - 6/10 by Chris AlexanderWhen the final moments of the movie wind down and Marsh finally fully hits the wall and Mitchum finally dissolves, it's startling and heart-wrenching.
Variety - 5/10 by Variety StaffThough some scenes come off fairly well, Mitchum is poker-faced from start to finish.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Bosley CrowtherIt is loaded with hospital lore, coldly realistic and compelling, but also it is creeping with ponderous characters. With so much dissecting in his picture—and so much of it being good—it is too bad that Mr. Kramer couldn't have done a little on his characters.
User Review - 10/10 by Nate TSoap elevated to excellence by the cast and director. The book from which this was adapted, in one way or another, isn't bad either.
User Review - 8/10 by Byron BIntense drama about a young medical student confronting issues of finance and integrity. Well directed by Stanley Kramer.
User Review - 6/10 by Steve SExcellent drama, great cast. Olivia de Havilland is an unusual choice, but she does well. Robert Mitchum is terrific as always. Very interesting, well made, fine score.
User Review - 6/10 by Ilsa LDespite a stellar cast, this is an ordinary melodrama hamstrung by a mediocre script and dreadful Swedish accents.
User Review - 6/10 by Susan PThe exceptional cast helps to while away the platitudes and pieties, provided you can accept the likes of Mitchum, Sinatra and Marvin as somewhat wrinkly students.
