Bing Crosby, with beautiful silver hair and a new goatee to make him look old, stars as the title character in this entertaining tv flick Dr. Cook's Garden. He's a lovable country doctor connected to everyone in the town; perfect casting, right? I love how Bing makes everything better. If he were my doctor, I'd actually look forward to going!
Frank Converse returns to town after a five year absence while being in medical school, and he completely ruins the movie. It's not really his fault as an actor; his character is written to be a suspicious, mean, disloyal creep. He's supposed to be completely devoted to Bing, who treated like a father, but as soon as he gets back in town, he starts getting suspicious as to Bing's medical methods. Who does he think he is?
Frank aside, this is an enjoyable movie that will make you talk with your friends afterwards about morality, loyalty, and justice. Bing is excellent, with a multi-faceted performance combined with the charm he's had for decades. It's rare to catch him in a drama, so check this one out if you like him.
