Glenn Ford plays Michael Corday, | who starts out his internship with' the advantage of being the son of one of the country’s most brilliant and eminent neurologists. | Dr. John Corday (Charles Coburn) | paints a glowing picture of his son’s | future if he can remain impersonal | to anything but his knowledge as a | doctor. Michael's cold detachment, how- | ever, breaks down during his train- ing period at a general hospital where he comes face to face with the tragedies of the underprivileged. When he falls in love with and marries one of his patients, Evelyn Heldon (Janet Jeigh), a girl of no| family or position, the break be- tween father and son is complete.

After a fair start in musical- comedy roles, she achieved fame over-night ‘with her first dramatic performance as Joan Crawford's daughter in “Mildred Pierce,” for ! which she won an Academy Award nomination. On the heels of that success, however, came misfortune—a broken | back suffered while skiing. After nearly two years of inactivity, she bounced back to prove her ability in steller roles. ¢ In “Killer McCoy,” dramatic prize- | fight story, she plays the daughter { of Brian Donlevy, and falls in Xnve‘ with Rooney against her fathei wishes. As a result of her romance ! with the boxer, she becomes in- | volved in a gangland war as gmnb-‘ lers seek to “fix” a big fight. i {Ship, Eafi(, Shutfer {Makes Weekend frip To fracy Arm Twenty-four members of the “Ship, Shank and Shutter” club went by boat to Tracy Arm last weekend.
