4.1.17

behind the mask (1958)

"I may be old-fashioned but I prefer to think of them as human beings."
Philip Selwood (Tony Britton) is a newly qualified surgeon, under the wing of Sir Arthur Benson Gray (Michael Redgrave), and is set to marry his daughter (Vanessa Redgrave). But then a patient dies, and Philip is disturbed that the Polish anesthetist Dr Romek (Carl Möhner) is being set up as the scape goat, due to his newly discovered drug addiction.
Stiff upper lip Medical drama, that is more interesting for Redgrave's screen debut.
