...just an excuse to give the fall campaign a rousing sendoff, to hold informal clinics on the health of the party, and to coach freshmen candidates in the fine art of campaigning. Harry Truman, the party's oracle of optimism, was unable to attend the meeting (his doctor has ordered him not to do any politicking this fall). But Harry Truman thumped his first tom-tom, with a nostalgic give-em-hell letter to Democratic Chairman Steve Mitchell...
Backstage on opening night, Sidney's white-thatched head was bent over in pain. "I can't go on," he moaned. "It's my stomach. Get a doctor." "But you're on in ten minutes," pleaded the manager. "I'll never make it," cried Sidney. Then the manager noticed a poster, understood the source of the jazzman's distress: Bechet's name was printed in small type, way down on the list of performers.

Beverly Garland heartbreakingly suggested the courage and despair of the doomed wife, while Lee Marvin did remarkably well with the necessarily skimped role of the husband...
...saving of the child became almost unbearably moving as doctors and nurses tried one expedient after another to get it breathing; with each failure, tempers became realistically short, and men seemed helpless before the mystery of birth. The musical background, supplied by Victor Young, was a triumph of unobtrusive mood setting. Medic has the endorsement of the Los Angeles County Medical Association, and most of the film was shot in the rooms and corridors of the County Hospital. The only noticeable divergence from truth came at the show's end, when a nurse asked the doctor: "Shall I tell...
