Goofs
An establishing shot shows the door to Dr. Gillespie's hospital office is about 6 feet from the corner of two perpendicular hallways with guidance lines painted on the floor, indicating they are primary corridors that typically extend the length or breadth of a building. However, when characters enter the office, they move in the direction of the corner (to the right) into rooms that would have to be in the same space as the perpendicular hallway -- a physical impossibility.

Quotes
Dr. Leonard B. Gillespie: You hypocritical two-headed snake in the grass, what do you mean sneaking around here all morning?

"I feed my stooges vitamin B-1."

It's been three months (and three movies) and Dr. Gillespie still hasn't decided on which of his two interns will become his new assistant. Once again he gives them each a case to decide the matter. Dr. Lee gets a case involving a little girl who gets sick when she eats candy. Dr. Adams helps a troubled young woman whose mother has a debilitating disease.

Fourth entry in the Dr. Gillespie series is pleasant enough but the cracks are starting to show. Lionel Barrymore is especially cantankerous this time around ("Don't smirk at me you nincompoop!"). The longtime regulars are as good as ever. George Reed, as Gillespie's man Conover, gets some particularly funny lines this time. But the production values seem less impressive and the script isn't that great. Keye Luke is still going on about being from Brooklyn. I applaud MGM for trying to show that a Chinese-American is 'just like the rest of us' but enough already. Three movies in and he won't shut up about Brooklyn. He also reuses a line from an earlier film about giving a blood transfusion to a Jap. Still, it's Keye Luke and he's got a very likable and charming appeal. Early role for Ava Gardner ("I never get fat"). She's very pretty but hardly impresses with her acting. Van Johnson is the star of this one. He does well in his scenes with Gardner and sexy Marilyn Maxwell, though he was never convincing as a ladies man. Worth watching for fans of the Kildare & Gillespie films but this isn't one of the best.
