George C. Scott at his best


I think this performance was better
than his performance in "Patton".
Incredible script too.
One of my all time favorites....

Yes he was really good in this one, and he had some awesome lines to work with. That was kind of the saving grace here for me because I felt as a whole the movie was not as funny as I hoped for and in fact even a bit too depressing.

Agreed! Excellent performance.

I never gave Scott much thought before this & had only seen him in a few movies. Wow!! Incredible actor!!!!

The incompetence in this hospital is absolutely RADIANT!!

Superb acting from a master. His character would have made great for a procedural drama.. I wanted more...
