"The Pharmacist's Mate," written by Budd Schulberg, is an episode of Pulitzer Prize Playhouse.
What an excellent play! Many thanks for the upload. Best wishes Villiago
Thank you for the above video. I have heard of Pulitzer Prize Playhouse, and thought that this would be a kinescope of a live telecast, but is, actually, a filmed episode, a rarity for television in 1950, although programs like The Lone Ranger and The Life of Riley were already shown as filmed programs, developed for the new medium.
Great performances in quietly showing their tension! Could sense it in their muscles as well as emotions. Had me holding my breath when the ship passed over. Thank you for sharing this and blessings for a distraction from these scary times, Dec. 2020.
You're welcome! I was so tickled to finally get my hands on it, and then I was doubly-tickled to see how really well done it was!
It is 10-3-22 and the Republicans are still killing our US citizens with the virus.
thank-you so very much for sharing this Pulitzer Prize Playhouse drama that I have never even heard of before.
You're very welcome! It literally took me 23 years to track it down
As a former independent duty corpsman this play certainly had an effect on me. This was excellent.
Always happy to see the UGA Arch!
As seen on ABC's Friday night schedule at 9pm(et).
This was one of the first filmed hour-long anthology episodes produced specifically for television (although "PULITZER PRIZE PLAYHOUSE" was basically a "live" series, several filmed episodes were presented as well).
LIVE ANNOUNCER AT 59:06- "The Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, its employees, and their families, wish all of you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS....and a HAPPIER NEW YEAR to come. Good night!"
It will be happier if you keep downing the Schlitz...
Funny schlitz is the number one beer back then or so they say not sure if it's even sold anymore
Back when Pulitzer meant something.
Including the Skipper!🌴🏝
OMG!!! The man playing Hanson "Bill" Riggs is none other than Billy Mauch of the Mauch Twin Brothers 🌟💖🤩👬🤩💖🌟
Billy and his brother Bobby have been acting since they were kids 🥰
Their most iconic role was in the 1937 version of The Prince & The Pauper 👑👬👑
Bobby was King Edward (The Prince) & Billy was Tom Canty (The Pauper) 🥰👬🥰
They were SO adorable throughout their movie careers, I wish they could've been just as famous 2 pave the way 4 the many other celebrity twins of the future like the Olsen Sisters 🌟👬👭👫🌟
Billy was great here too🌟💖🌟
#LongLiveTheMauchBros💖👬💖
Thank you for the info! I did read somewhere that he was a twin, but I hadn't yet dug any deeper. He did a really good job as Ensign Riggs!
Ensign Riggs* That's Right*
Thanks 4 The Reply Gotham_Moon*
I almost thought no one would. But it's great 2 know that we still care about the extraordinary legacies of past celebrities too* Just as I care about some of the celebrities of today*
The Mauch Bros will forever remain a household name 2 me 💖👬💖
Am I understanding this correctly? Although this play was fictional, There were three accounts in 1943 over a three month period where Submarine Pharmacists performed Surgeries or similar skills beyond their training and duties, that caught the attention of a Chicago Tribune Reporter who won the Pulitzer Prize for writing about the first account?
Amazing Hero's, these Pharmacist!
Great Story. Thanks for sharing.
Too bad the company that restored the video had to watermark the video with such a large logo.
Yes, you are correct! (And I agree about the watermark - argh. I might reach out to them again one day and see if there's a way to get it without the watermark) There was a bigger nod in this story to the first patient when the captain mentions "a nice kid from Chautauqua, Kansas." The first of the three patients, Darrell Dean Rector, actually was from Chautauqua, Kansas.
Actually in 1 case the executive officer performed the procedure since the pharmacist mate couldn’t or wouldn’t do the procedure. The patient lived!

Has display at Pearl Harbor
From all accounts I've read, Wheeler Lipes was an amazing man. Basically it boiled down to, "If there was one person who could have performed that surgery, it was Lipes."
I was looking at my screen with intense feeling. This makes the current stuff look like total crap. No violence, guns, but real excitement and intelligence.
I'm only 30 seconds in, but does that logo need to be so big? It's distracting, and that's a shame because this looks really good.
I know, I hate that it's there, too. The library that digitized it for me put it on. If it were up to me, it wouldn't be there at all and I'd just have a note in the summary to give credit :(
@@centaurqueen I really appreciate your reply, and I guess what can't be controlled must be accepted, which is a scary way to phrase that, but you know what I mean. It does surprise me, though, that a library archive would disfigure a film this way.
I didn't even see it til I read your comment. Lol, I'm just so engrossed in the story...
that thing in the r-hand corner kinda blows it - take it off so we can see the full picture
I would if i could but I can't
It is not a watermark, it is a ''dog''.
Robert S. Carson is "Dad" in the Schlitz middle commercial.
Passed out already?
They forgot to fill the movie with black people.
