A Man to Remember (1938) (original) (raw)
In an innovative flashback structure, A MAN TO REMEMBER recounts the life of small-town doctor John Abbott (Edward Ellis) -- a selfless hero who readily sacrifices his own career for the welfare of his patients. At the expense of his own well-being, Abbott not only succeeds in building a much-needed county hospital, but also combats a polio epidemic, fighting a corrupt county Board of Supervisors at every turn. Though a "B" movie made in a mere 15 days, A MAN TO REMEMBER garnered extraordinary critical praise!
