Once a Doctor

Donald Woods and Gordon Oliver are doctors. "foster" brothers, as they carefully point out at the very beginning of the film. It's a warner brothers shortie, at only 57 minutes. the brothers play hanky panky with the paperwork, and it comes back to bite them later. they break so many rules and laws, I wouldn't want either one as a doctor. Jean Muir is Paula, the focal point in our story, as the brothers fight over her. Directed by William Clemens. he directed some very okay films... some Falcon mysteries, Torchy Blane, and Philo Vance in the 1930s and 1940s. All very lightweight stuff. THIS one is also no biggie. not much meat on the bones, made in between wars. it shows now and then on Turner Classics, but as we can tell by the cast and the director, this ain't no shakespeare.
