When I first saw the set up for this one, I thought, “Oh, no! It's Angel Face all over again." But it's not. It just bears an odd resemblance to it..
Robert Mitchum plays Dr. Jeff Cameron with his usual "don't give a damn" casual manner. And one of the nurses, Julie (played by Maureen O'Sullivan) is his girlfriend. Then—at the very last minute before he leaves work—he's told he must treat a woman who's tried to kill herself..
Why is it so important that this doctor treat her? Is he the only doctor in the house? I don't know. Who knows?
Anyway, he brings her around, assures her she'll be fine, she clutches his hand, while Julie looks on. So, yeah… It reminded me of the love triangle in Angel Face. But that's where the resemblance ends. Thank God.
