I almost, didn’t watch this movie, it started out slow. Like a good book, everything, is important to notice. I’m glad, I watched the full movie. I saved it, to watch again. Charleston Heston, made, it great. Jerry from Anaheim, California USA.❤
Plot- Dr. Tom Owen (Charlton Heston) is an Army doctor on leave to visit his mother, who still lives in the poor Pennsylvania mining town where he grew up. After falling in love with wealthy socialite Helen Curtis (Lizabeth Scott), Tom turns down a position as the local doctor and takes a lucrative job at an elite Pittsburgh clinic. Though he's happy with his newfound success and his recent engagement to Helen, a cave-in at the town mine forces Tom to decide where his heart really lies.
Charlton Heston is one of the greatest stars in cinema history. And he was in three movies that sooner or later people will watch, The Ten Commandments in 1956, Ben Hur in 1959, The Planet of the Apes in 1966. God bless him.
Not much of a Lizabeth Scott fan but Heston brought me here...hope its worth it. Was on a Heston kick recently and revisited POA, Soylent Green, & Omega Man. Need to find Will Penny next.
I can't get those distinctly sharp features out of my mind. Lizabeth Scott played bad so good against Dan Duryea that she had his head spinning in Too Late for Tears. In this movie she's the spoiled socialite whose very touch of money promised doom to a young nieve doctor (Charton Heston) returning from the Korean Conflict. (Note: America didn't involve itself in wars after WWII; just so-called "police actions". Words have meaning and power😮).

gotta love these types of movies when doctors smoke as when "the surgeon general recommends Camel for a smooth lung infecting cigarette"! If you're a Heston fan. It's worth a watch
Well done movie. Not to be too too cynical but with the state of American medicine today (I am Canadian) and the virtual collapse of the coal industry the movie seems rather dated today.
It's so funny that in America we all want to be rich, that exclusive 1%, that top of the heap. But as evidenced even in this vintage scenario presented, we spend so much time HATING the people who are rich. Describing them as vapid hypochondriacs, shallow, useless, and vain, careless to the plight of the less moneyed and comfortable. And the irony is that the less wealthy still clamber after being rich. HAHAHAHA!! If we could just be happy with enough, we could do better. Of course enough varies with individuals, but no one needs more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.
Don't like the atmosphere in this..these actresses are overbearing..i enjoy C H Films, but he seems angry all the way through..doesn't suit him..just my opinion...
Love these old movies, and especially Lizabeth Scott who’s great here, plus there are lots of good supporting actors. The new doctor acted much better than Heston and made his character believable. Heston chews away on the scenery, per usual, which he gets away with when the writing is good, but this one isn’t well written. So many inconsistencies that break the suspension of disbelief. The characters are cookie cutter with overacting having to replace any depth or nuance.. The direction seems lacking and the set design is blah, but Jean Louis’s gowns are gorgeous. These actors made many other much, much better movies.
surgical sludge and the former sergeant had to die so that his former colonel could have a Damascene moment! beautiful gowns though by Jean Louis - nothing else to commend it
What politicising venu, if ur LOP raul vinci is involved in a gotala and now people have died because of lop spending his time with soros and sam uncle rohingyas and other encroachers in waynad will suffer.

Plot-

Thank you
Good looking guy & great actor.
Excellent movie !!!
Terrific movie! I have always loved Heston's films. I;m surprised I've never seen this one before
I come from COALVILLE Leicestershire, England. It looked very similar then.
I liked this. Thank you for posting it.
Excellent film. New for me. Worth watching again some time. Wed. Set. 4, 2024. St. Joseph, MO, USA
I enjoyed this movie well acted, can't beat good old chuck.
The morality of this movie needs to be shown over and over again...
Heston 30 years old in 1953
Charlton Heston is one of the greatest stars in cinema history. And he was in three movies that sooner or later people will watch, The Ten Commandments in 1956, Ben Hur in 1959, The Planet of the Apes in 1966. God bless him.
Apes was 1968 and not a great movie.
Heston was always worth the price of admission.
The Naked Jungle and Touch of Evil.
Omega man 🌟Will Penny 🌟must see movies 👀👀👀👀👀👁
@@jerrybrickley2115 watch it again, it's clearly written copyright 1967.
He was very good in The Big Country also
had a serious crush on him back in the day
Not much of a Lizabeth Scott fan but Heston brought me here...hope its worth it. Was on a Heston kick recently and revisited POA, Soylent Green, & Omega Man. Need to find Will Penny next.
That was some kiss, Heston gave Scott, Wow
New subscriber, thank you for this upload. Cheers from Australia

Soylent Green is people!
Word
❤❤❤❤
So many used him for his God-given talents and Heston said it best at 1:20:44 in how he chooses to use it. Good on him!
Heston was incredible in the 1950' s Bible films
Predictable movie, but well worth watching.
When doctors were doctors.........................
He's from Chicago also
Moses, Moses, Moses
Very enjoyable film , definitely inspired by A J Cronins The Citadel a superb book .

This reminds me of an AJ Cronin novel

I think Chuck's best film was Ben Hur.
Is that the actor from the old superman series?
Not Christopher Reed....Heston was in Soylent Green and Planet of the Apes. A great actor. RIP🙏
That's Moses from the 10 Commandments.
What kind of medical technique is that at 1:18:50 ?
😂 that was an actors special !!!
Successful CPR started about 1900
But nobody has told the actors 🙃
Los médicos se supone que tienen que dar ejemplo qué hacen fumando en la antesala de cirugía
TO MUCH COMMERCIAL
This woman play everybody’s mother. I don’t know her name. I don’t even know if she had kids for real.
whatfuking balls....a hour and 29 minute infomercial stuck right in the middle of the movie
Don't like the atmosphere in this..these actresses are overbearing..i enjoy C H Films, but he seems angry all the way through..doesn't suit him..just my opinion...
I didn't much care for this movie. I am surprised that Heston accepted this role. Elizabeth Scott helped save this movie from dumpster status.
Pretty revolting...

What politicising venu, if ur LOP raul vinci is involved in a gotala and now people have died because of lop spending his time with soros and sam uncle rohingyas and other encroachers in waynad will suffer.
Charleston Heston is over dramatic in this show - but he always overdid the acting.
Great character actors wasted on this mess of a film.
