Don't call her Miss...call her Doctor. The early career of New York's first female hospital intern is the compelling subject of this biopic from the screenwriters of Johnny Belinda based on Emily Dunning Barringer's memoir. june Allyson plays Emily, who struggles to gain access to the male-dominated medical world during the early 2oth century. Blocked from hospital acceptance despite ranking high in her studies, Emily, along with her mentor, uses public opinion to help her gain a residency position. Yet she still faces resistance by male colleagues and superiors, obstacles Emily must overcome. joining Allyson are Mildred Dunnock as the woman who inspires Emily to pursue a medical career, Arthur Kennedy as the doctor who falls in love with her and Gary Merrill as the health-care director who advises her the profession does not want female practitioners - an attitude Emily Dunning Barringer would help change.

Sexism gets a good thrashing
Serious, historical, and June Allyson is, was, a cute lady. Okay, I bought it to see more of her. Big deal. The movie still would be a good lesson on sexism and might get more people to volunteer, which is a good thing. We need more educated doctors and nurses.

COMPELLING AND FAITHFUL BIOPIC OF AN EARLY 20TH CENTURY FEMALE DOCTOR
Don't call her 'Miss', call her 'DOCTOR'. This is a very good and faithful biopic based on Emily Dunning Barringer's memoir about herself as a young female doctor, struggling to make an impression in the male-dominated medical world of the early 20th century. Despite being a top scholar in her field, all sorts of obstacles are put in her way, but the public read about her efforts in the newspapers and are not slow to voice support. She eventually wins through, and marries a fellow doctor, played by Arthur Kennedy. Emily is played beautifully by June Allyson, in a surprisingly serious role - she was a famous wartime sweetheart and girl-next-door type - and I found her riveting. I actually bought the film to see the terrific Broadway actor, Arthur Kennedy, going through his paces on screen as her soon-to-be husband and I wasn't disappointed. Mildred Dunnock, a founder member of the Actor's Studio, also gives a compelling performance as the older female doctor, who helps Emily along the way. My only gripe would be the title, which doesn't convey the serious subject matter at all.
