Plot: Dr. Josiah Newman (Gregory Peck) runs the psychiatric unit of a U.S.
Military Hospital during WWII. Short of help, Newman coerces newly
arrived neurotic orderly Jackson Leibowitz (Tony Curtis) to work in his
ward. Leibowitz's scheming & humor quickly turns life inside the ward
upside down. Newman, while amused, tries to maintain a semblance of
order. Newman's other recruit to the ward is nurse Lt. Francie Corum
(Angie Dickinson). Corum is at first shocked by what she sees in the
ward, but admires the compassionate & effective way in which Newman
deals with each of his patients. Together Newman & Corum help a variety
of patients with war related psychological traumas, while they
themselves struggle with the dilemma of healing these soldiers so they
can be sent back into battle to face possible death.
