Review of The Hospital (1971) by Martin T — 15 Dec 2009
Nowhere near as good, nor in the same league as the earlier Chayefsky/Hiller collaboration, The Americanization of Emily. The story is a blend of medical thriller and satire, not very satisfying on either front.
The script has a few good lines, but overall it was lackluster. George C. Scott is terrific as always and handles the material with skill... too bad Diana Rigg isn't playing on his level. Not a bad movie by any means, just far from a great one.
