Dr. Gillespies New Assistant (1942) 720p Lionel Barrymore, Van Johnson, Susan Peters, Stephen Mc Nally

Dr. Gillespie s health is failing, and the hospital is urging him to get a new assistant that he doesn t want. So, he poses a stumper in class to discourage all the bright young students. Unfortunately, he gets three smartalecky youngsters who all know the answer: Randall Adams (cleancut American type), Lee Wong How (from Brooklyn), and Dennis LIndsey (Aussie). In typical Gillespie fashion, he sets about showing them there s more to doctoring than booklearning, and assigns each intern to an impossible case of diagnosis, saying that whoever gets it right will become his new assistant.
