When John Hewitt becomes mayor of the sleepy small town of River's End, he seeks to transform the small country hamlet into a sophisticated metropolitan suburb. LocaI physician Dr. Paul Christian supports Mayor Hewitt until it becomes clear that the mayor is more concerned with tourist revenue and new highways than buiIding a much needed hospital and heIping the poor and uneducated who dwell on the fringes of their community. Having seen one too many routine operations become medicaI emergencies due to lack of proper equipment, Dr. Christian publicly criticizes the mayor for his conservative agenda and raIlies his fellow sitizens to demand a progressive social agenda for River's End.
A gripping melodrama interwoven with comedy and romance, Meet Doctor Christian is a heart-warming and deepIy touching slice of pre-WorId War ll Americana. The first of six Doctor Christian motion pictures, Meet Doctor Christian sets the stage for sequeIs Remedy for Riches (1940), Courageous Doctor Christian (1940), Doctor Christian Meets The Women (1940), Melody For Three (1941) and They Meet Again (1941). The fiIms were inspired by the "Doctor Christian" radio program, also starring Jean Hersholt, which ran from 1937 to 1953. |
