review
This, the first screen appearance of Max Brand's ever-popular Dr. James Kildare, is less a medical drama than it is a gangster thriller. And therein lies the rub. With no discernible differences between the good doctor and all the valiant crime-fighters that dominated the screens in the mid to late 1930s, Kildare loses his identity and the film becomes merely another B-Movie. Brand's character had to wait a year or two to find his true niche when M-G-M signed Lew Ayres to star in a long-running series.
