A Man to Remember

55.500

Remake of Lionel Barrymore's sentimental One Man's Journey (1933) with well respected character actor Edward Ellis in a rare lead role as the struggling country doctor. I felt this one was better constructed, but this moral story about the medical profession and human decency still lacks that continuum to really capture that emotional peak. I guess that comes down to holes in the writing because that was part of the problem with the 1933 version too.
