Edward Bromberg), a famed surgeon, appears to announce: "Jehovah and Aesculapius-they both demand their human sacrifices." The interne then makes up his mind what he is going to do with his life. Excellent scene, recommendable to those who will want to make a cinema out of Men in White: the operating theatre, with the attendants meticulously scrubbing and rinsing themselves...
