Giving out free medicine in an American film is rare to see, and I am not even sure I have ever seen that gesture of equality before in what is a medical USA drams. The story is simple; Charlton Heston in one of his rare good roles takes on the ethical problem of discarding his uniform and taking on the medical job ( which he was trained for ) to get money from the rich who want excellent treatment. Irving Rapper surveys this greedy landscape quite objectively and he is far away from the Bette Davis melodrama syndrome. But there are two places in town in this film; one for the rich and one for the miners who risk their lives every day providing for them. Lizabeth Scott pays the bad for each other love interest and Arthur Franz is excellent as a young doctor who believes all people are equal. No spoilers but the ending is good for the film. Well worth seeing.
