About Young Dr. Kildare
A medical school graduate takes an internship at a big city hospital, only to be subjected to a rigorous (and sometimes embarrassing) testing of his knowledge by the hospital's top dog, Dr. Leonard Gillespie.
Directed by Harold S. Bucquet, Young Dr. Kildare leans on a strong ensemble — Lionel Barrymore, Lew Ayres, Lynne Carver — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1938.
