Thanks for posting. I've been waiting to see this episode for 40 years! Loved seeing the old woody, Clu Galager, Yvette Mimineux, and of course the dashing Richard Chamberlain again. I was just a "tot" when this first aired on TV in the early '60's. I'm involved in medicine today, it's fun to critique these old medical shows. |
