Seeing how it came out after Patton, it is easy to see why this movie is often overlooked. Scott's performance is equal to any in his career. I wish more people could see this film, to gain a better understanding of how powerful Scott could be as an actor.
shareI like this movie very much, even I don't know those medical phrase in the film. The dialogue is marvelous. The confusing medical system is always a huge bomb in this world.

Yeah, this film is great. My favorite Scott performance.
I think I prefer this over Network too.
One of George C. Scott's many memorable roles – perhaps even better than "Patton." The first scene with Diana Rigg has both humor and heartbreak, and he's wonderful there.
shareI saw this film when it first came out late in 1971. I loved it. It was very well received and Mr. Scott did earn a highly deserved Oscar nomination for this performance.
I think you can be assured that anytime Mr. Scott's career is studied, this film will be on the list for viewing.
Brilliant performance and a great screenplay by Paddy Chayefski.
shareI enjoyed his performance of Patton more because he brought a famous person to life. So it touches my heart more. That might diminish the importance of the film, but it how I feel. If I understand the film "Patton" correctly, that hero thought only of winning. The hero in this movie won by putting others before his happiness. Two sides of strength.
If we can save humanity, we become the caretakers of the world
Agreed - this movie is a very underappreciated gem, and Scott's performance amazing.

Yeah it’s probably the best I’ve seen from him.
