Dr. Jim on AllMovie

The solid production (courtesy of director William Worthington) made this Universal programmer an above-average offering. Dr. Jim Keene (Frank Mayo) is a devoted surgeon -- too devoted for his wife, Helen (beautiful Claire Windsor, who was then still known in certain circles under her homely real name, Olga Cronk). Just about every social function she wants to attend is ruined because one important case or another interferes. But things change when Keene suffers a nervous breakdown and he and Helen go on a sea voyage for his health. The ship is manned by a brutal captain whose machismo sparks Helen's interest. But when the captain falls ill, Keene helps saves his life. The captain, however, fakes his death and later returns to do battle with Keene, who was recovered Keene is victorious, and Helen finally learns to appreciate him.
