Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day marked the exit of Laraine Day from the series and out of James Kildare's love life. She felt she had enough of being the all American good girl nurse Mary Lamont and wanted some meatier parts. She got MGM to write her out of the Kildare series very permanently.
The usual medical problems are taking a backstage to the wedding preparations for Lew Ayres and Laraine Day. The lovebirds are finally going to tie the knot. Lionel Barrymore can barely keep Ayres's attention to business as he seeks a cure for the growing deafness of orchestra leader Nils Asther.
However when MGM wrote Day out of the series they gave her a dramatic ending, being hit by a truck the day before the nuptials. In doing so they gave the cast the finest dramatic moments in the entire series. I rate Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day right at the top.
