Hospital drama features Craig as a new surgeon plugging an experimental heart-lung machine he has brought to England from America. The other surgeons are wary about the new device, especially after it fails on an older patient. But when a young boy with a hole in his heart needs emergency
surgery, the device is put to good use and Craig proves himself. In between are vignettes involving other patients, including a woman expecting quadruplets, as well as the usual doctor-nurse romances. A lot of this is just standard hospital-film follies but it's told in an intriguing and fresh
manner. The acting has sincerity, and the comedy and drama of the situations are nicely ...
