Captain Newman, M.D.

Oh, dear.

[upbeat music] Our double feature this week, we have Captain Newman, MD from 1963, starring Gregory Peck, Tony Curtis and Angie Dickinson.

In 1944, an Army doctor is in charge of a neuropsychiatric ward at an Army Air Corps hospital in Arizona, and he must deal with a variety of tough cases.

We've paired that with Oliver Sacks: In His Own Life from 2019.

But then there are these darker bits about how the brain works and about how we deal with trauma that introduced us to that as well.

Yeah.

Tony Curtis was, was stolen by them and in a, in a move that was quite tongue-in-cheek by Gregory Peck, um, who plays Captain Newman, MD.

And Gregory Peck is more serious thespian type actor, and Tony Curtis is all charm and Americanism.
