S5E7: Arrowsmith, 1931
Manage episode 421874179 series 3496550
In our fifth regular film review of the season, we cover director John Ford's Arrowsmith, adapted from Sinclair Lewis's Pulitzer Prize winning novel. No, this is not the origin story of a 20th Century rock band, but it is the story of a young doctor who is determined to follow the scientific method no matter the cost. The story also has some unsettling implications for us now in the 21st century, as it grapples with an outbreak of plague and the uncertainty of using an untested vaccine. The film stars Ronald Colman and Helen Hayes.
Of course we have our history timeline (it takes a dark turn in this episode), and top song of the day!
