🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This 1944 feature cleverly uses its medical premise to dissect the prejudices and fears of a small community, blending humor with genuine pathos.
What lingers after the final reel is a sharp, timeless question about who gets to define madness in a world full of its own irrationalities. — MovieFinder Editorial
