What Young Dr. Kildare Is About

A young doctor has just finished medical school. His name is Kildare. He starts his training in a big city. The place is a hospital in New York. It is large and crowded. A hard regime is waiting for him. Leonard Gillespie runs things there. Gillespie is the most listened to doctor in the hospital. His manner is severe. He tests the young man constantly. He goes through his knowledge in detail, and the questions are humiliating at times. Kildare tries to come through each one, and the story stays in the hospital corridors. Lew Ayres and Lionel Barrymore appear in the eighty two minute film, an American production Harold S. Bucquet finished in 1938.
