Review of The Caretakers (1963) by Ashley H — 01 Aug 2012
Decent little melodrama about waring philosophies of how to treat patients at a mental hospital. Joan Crawford is the old school head nurse who wants to lock up and isolate the crazies, while Robert Stack is the young idealistic doctor who sees them as patients and wants to treat them with his radical new ideas around "group therapy".
The script is pretty smart and there are some good performances, but the film feels like a poorly edited TV movie. Not as good as it could have been, but not bad either.
