Rescued from post-Code censorship, Sinclair Lewis’s critique of medical ethics makes an interesting subject for director John Ford. Ronald Colman and Helen Hayes star; Myrna Loy had a major role until the censors obliterated most of it. But now she’s back: taken from Ronald Colman’s personal print, this 2024 restoration recovers (finally) the original theatrical release, uncut. It raises the entire show to prime quality and reinstates a crucial ‘new’ scene.  The new Blu-ray is a coup for The Warner Archive Collection.
