Description
This is Minnelli’s first film to combine color and CinemaScope in a star-packed ensemble piece based on William Gibson’s popular novel. Rival doctors battle for control over a posh private hospital -- especially its drapes. Co-stars Gloria Graham, Lauren Bacall, John Kerr and Lilian Gish also shine in this network narrative, which explores the neuroses of prosperous postwar America. BFI print. USA, 1955, 35mm, color, 124 min.
