This film offers George Sanders the opportunity to ham it up atrociously, complete with amateur theatrical foreign accent. It's an incredibly juvenile tale of an unqualified surgeon who cures the crippled daughter of the chairman of the Medical Board! Alas, the dialogue is even more stilted and less realistic than the plot. Apart from Kynaston Reeves, who has only a small part and probably wrote his own lines, the acting is uniformly bad. The direction is as flat as the acting is stiff. Production values are very middling, aside from Gunther Krampf's lustrous close-ups of Miss Maguire, plus film editor Flora Newton's one or two attempts at cross-cutting.
