Featured review
3 cheers for the osteopaths
As people who have a talent for gardening are said to gave a green thumb so
Robert Beatty is said to have green fingers, a natural talent to heal. Beatty has
helped friends and co-workers, but has a limp himself courtesy of a war wound.
He goes to study under Felix Aylmer, but does not complete the course. Ge cures landlord's daughter Carol Raye and they marry. She proves to be a most forgiving wife especially after a dalliance with haughty society girl Nova Pilbeam.
There are some fine performances in a film with a confusing story. Confusing to this day because we really don't know where osteopathy is in the rankings of the medical profession.
Still the quartet of players mentioned do well and this is a pretty good film.
