纽曼军医

Captain Josiah Newman runs the neuro-psychiatric ward of an Arizona desert hospital during World War II. He often uses unconventional means and people to match, including his new orderly, Jackson Leibowitz.


　　Among the patients in their ward is the suicidal Colonel Bliss, who eventually climbs atop a water tower, and a battle-scarred corporal named Tompkins who reveals under the spell of sodium pentothal the source of his distress. Newman also assists in the marital love life of Captain Winston while enjoying a flirtation or two with his own chief nurse, Lieutenant Corum.

别扭的基调，不知道为什么标签里有喜剧。主题太过沉重，普通喜剧不成立；又不敢放开去荒诞，黑色喜剧也不成立。Curtis的人设跟Operation Petticoat一样，但在此片里不讨喜得多。

严肃而不沉闷的电影，而且阵容强大。Peck饰演一位很有责任心的军医，Curtis的角色非常讨喜，Albert也很出色，Duvall当年真年轻，看演员表才认出来，Bobby的角色让人心碎，他是这部电影里当年唯一获奥斯卡提名的演员，可惜最后并无获奖。

有一些荒诞，也有一些悲哀。正如纽曼医生纠结的悖论：他，治好他们，然后让他们重上战场送死。

Jackson Leibowitz配角很抢戏。

格利高里·派克主演的反映战争精神创伤的战地精神病院影片，如片中人物所说“我们给他们治病，帮他们恢复健康，然后再让他们上战场去送死”，有些反战情绪。
