Did You Know?
| Trivia | This movie is a somewhat continuation of "Calling Dr. Gillespie" (1942). Donna Reed played Marcia in both movies, but the character of Roy was played by Phil Brown in the first movie. See more » |
| Goofs | In the scene with the little girl in a febrile coma and the interns working hard to get it down, Dr. Gillespie is seen looking at an oral thermometer that was supposedly used to check her temp. In this sort of situation that is highly unlikely. Even in this era oral and rectal thermometers were different shapes so no mistakes could be made. See more » |
