Sensitive drama in the story of a WW II doctor treating the mental scars of his soldier patients, and light comedy in his dealings with army bureaucracy, in the medical pranks that keep the hospital staff sane, and in a little romance, too. Peck manages the balancing act. Adapted from the novel by Leo Rosten, this was the last screenwriting credit for Phoebe and Henry Ephron, parents of writer/directors Nora and Delia.
