Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz | Dr. Praetorius spent several years in a rural area not as an ordinary butcher pretending to be a healer, but as a healer pretending to be an ordinary butcher. He worked not only with scientific skill but with the human soul and its capacity for hope against hope.
What a marvelous film. So many precious and improbable events, hinting at the most improbable thing of all: this humanity lived together.
