Screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky’s Academy Award-winning satire is a pitch-black dark comedy about madness, murder, and malpractice in a Manhattan teaching hospital. An Oscar-nominated George C. Scott stars as bitter, suicidal doctor struggling to stay afloat amidst the chaos in his life, both personal and professional, while a series of sudden staff deaths mysteriously plagues his inept medical institution.
“This blisteringly cynical satire, written by Paddy Chayefsky, is one of the darkest movies ever made, a cold-eyed lament for a society torn apart by the upheavals of the Sixties.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
