Hinds, Emma Dunn, Grant Mitchell, Walter Kingsford, Alma Kruger, Nell Craig, Marie Blake, Martha O'Driscoll, Donald Barry. The good doctor tries to cure a young woman of psychosomatic blindness while working equally hard to get stubborn Dr. Gillespie to take a vacation in this tidy episode.

D: Harold S. Bucquet. Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore, Laraine Day, Shepperd Strudwick, Samuel S. Hinds, Emma Dunn, Nat Pendleton, Walter Kingsford, Alma Kruger, Nell Craig, Horace McMahon, Marie Blake, Frank Orth. Kildare utilizes shock therapy and other ``modern'' techniques to help cure a mental patient. Arresting entry with numerous subplots.

D: Harold S. Bucquet. Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore, Laraine Day, Robert Young, Emma Dunn, Nat Pendleton, Bobs Watson, Walter Kingsford, Alma Kruger, Nell Craig, Frank Orth, Marie Blake, Horace MacMahon. Kildare's impending nuptials are jeopardized by a diagnosis of possible epilepsy in his fiancee's brother (Young). Sleek entry with good production.

D: Harold S. Bucquet. Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore, Laraine Day, Bonita Granville, Alma Kruger, Red Skelton, Tom Conway, Walter Kingsford, Chick Chandler, Diana Lewis, Marie Blake, Nell Craig, Frank Orth. Verbose Kildare entry finds the medic being sued for malpractice after operating on ice skater Granville's leg. Skelton's comic relief is more annoying than amusing.

D: Harold S. Bucquet. Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore, Laraine Day, Red Skelton, Fay Holden, Walter Kingsford, Alma Kruger, Samuel S. Hinds, Emma Dunn, Nils Asther, Miles Mander, Nell Craig, Frank Orth. Tragedy strikes Kildare's fiancee (Day, whom MGM was grooming for bigger roles) in this surprisingly somber episode leavened with comic relief by Skelton. Erstwhile ``Dick Tracy'' Ralph Byrd plays a cop.

D: W.S. Van Dyke II. Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore, Ann Ayars, Robert Sterling, Jean Rogers, Alma Kruger, Walter Kingsford, Nell Craig, Marie Blake, Frank Orth, Barry Nelson. Kildare, still heartsick over ``Mary Lamont,'' falls for a socialite patient while fighting a hospital zoning problem in this busy episode. Ayres' last appearance in the series.

LEONARD
MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Ernst Lubitsch. Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas, Ina Claire, Bela Lugosi, Sig Ruman, Felix Bressart, Alexander Granach, Richard Carle. Amid much outdated sociological banter, a lighthearted Garbo still shines. Lubitsch's comedy pegged on tale of cold Russian agent Garbo coming to Paris, falling in love with gay-blade Douglas. Supporting cast shows fine comedy flair. Script by Billy Wilder, Charles Brackett, and Walter Reisch was basis for Broadway musical and film SILK STOCKINGS.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Ernst Lubitsch. Jack Benny, Carole Lombard, Robert Stack, Lionel Atwill, Felix Bressart, Sig Ruman, Tom Dugan, Helmut Dantine, Stanley Ridges. Benny has the role of a lifetime as "that great, great actor'' Joseph Tura, whose Polish theater troupe is put out of business by invading Nazis--until they become involved in espionage and find their thespian skills being put to the ultimate test. Superb black comedy scripted by Edwin Justus Mayer; the opening gag with Dugan is a gem. Lombard's final film, released after her death. Remade in 1983.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Ernst Lubitsch. Betty Grable, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Cesar Romero, Walter Abel, Reginald Gardiner, Harry Davenport. Entertaining if overblown musical of mythical European kingdom where Grable is a just-married princess; her ancestors magically come to life as Fairbanks' conquering army descends on her castle. Lubitsch died during production, which was completed by Otto Preminger. Script by Samson Raphaelson.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Ernst Lubitsch. Merle Oberon, Melvyn Douglas, Burgess Meredith, Alan Mowbray, Olive Blakeney, Harry Davenport, Sig Rumann, Eve Arden. Chic little Lubitsch comedy about married couple with problems, and their absurd pianist friend. Stolen hands down by Meredith as the musical malcontent. Filmed before (in 1925) by Lubitsch as KISS ME AGAIN.
