DVD : People Will Talk [1951]

Rating: - Beware of Shunderson "The Bat."
Dr. Noah Praetorius (Cary Grant) a doctor and teacher believes in holistic medicine and uses unconventional ways. A fellow doctor and teacher (Hume Cronyn) has a nasty attitude and is jealous, so he plans to take Praetorius down a notch. Mean while back at the ranch Dr. Praetorious is getting romanticlay involved with a young student that has a problem that she can not reveal to her father.

Mr. Shunderson is a mysterious person from Noah’s past. You may think that Shunderson "the bat" is scary.

This movie is a remake of "Frauenarzt Dr. Prätorius" (1950). Luckily it is much better than the original. Watching the train scene made me want to go "beep beep" or was that "beep beep beep?" This is one of those movies that just works. You can not pull it apart as each actor was excellent for his or her character. The music they played was Brahms’ "Academic festival overture" what else would you play for this sort of movie?

See Julia Dean "Old Woman" (who tell the tale of Doc Praetorious) again as Julia Farren in "The Curse of the Cat People"
