StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #1330 [Bethune (1977) Winner: FredBurroughs]


I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.

For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.

Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Click on Feature Film and TV Movie. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.

- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints, the point goes to the OP, after 15 incorrect guesses. He/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint. No documentaries.

FredBurroughs wins with Bethune (1977). Based on a true story, Donald Sutherland plays as Canadian doctor Norman Bethune, a dedicated socialist and member of the Communist Party of Canada who advocated free universal healthcare and served as a doctor in the Spanish Civil War and then in the Sino-Japanese War. His service in China, treating peasants for free who were too poor to pay for medical care, made enough of an impression that after his death he was personally eulogized by Mao Zedong, who cited him as a model of socialist internationalism*. Though little known in his home country of Canada, he remains famous in China to this day, where there are multiple medical schools named after him. The movie is very low-budget but Donald Sutherland gave a good performance worthy of a man whose story deserves to be known.
