Captain Newman, M.D.

1963 film directed by David Miller stars Gregory Peck, Tony Curtis, Angie Dickinson, and Bobby Darin.

Comedy/drama about a psychiatrist treating military personnel at an air base here in the U.S. during World War Two. Afflictions range from the silly to the intense. Eddie Albert shines as a mentally ill officer, Robert Duvall is notable, but the scene stealer is singer Bobby Darin as a corporal who relives his most traumatic combat experience.

It will make you laugh, it will make you cry (maybe) but certainly worth a peek.
