WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

bellino-angelo2014 Always loved Gregory Peck, especially in drama movies like ''Spellbound'' and ''To Kill a Mockingbird'', and this is one of his best, although underrated, roles.It's set in an Arizona military base (in 1944) that functions also as a military psychiatrich ward, and he has to deal with various war veterans suffering from post-war traumas. It's not an easy task, but he succeeds in his own way - even being ostracized by his superiors.Here Peck is surrounded by some greats players of those years: Tony Curtis is his comic sidekick, and Angie Dickinson is the nurse who also falls in love with Peck. Eddie Albert, Bobby Darin and a then-unknown Robert Duvall are the most serious patients. Albert is a crazed Air-Force Colonel angry with Newman that then kills himself: Duvall is a catatonic Army Captain that has problems to re-integrate to normal life even with his wife: and Bobby Darin deserves a special mention, because he was even nominated for an Academy Award. Darin stars as a shell-shocked pilot that has his mind shattered because of his war experiences and his cured by a truth-serum.Also James Gregory, Vito Scotti, Dick Sargent and Larry Storch are good in their roles. It's just a great Hollywood movie that I strongly recommend to everyone,

jochphllpsn This a serious and Harrowing tale of the psychological traumas suffered by American Servicemen .. and Gregory Peck as the struggling Doctor trying to mend damaged minds.. I find it difficult to understand why this Film has been categorised as 'Comedy' when clearly it isn't..!! Especially Bobby Darrin, delivers an outstanding performance as Corporal Jim Tompkins .. I would put this film up there with to 'To Kill a Mocking Bird ' -an outstanding performance from Gregory Peck .. There is NO comedy in this film .. the film deals direcly with the consequences of Horror in Warfare.. especially the Psychological trauma of the soldiers who survive, when they have witnessed the death of their buddies at first hand.. A film way before it's time .. -this is NOT a comedy.. but a deeply moving, serious film..

geoffward42-399-691243 Just watched Captain Newman MD, what a wonderful film.Although a keen movie watcher just nearing my 70th year I've never seen this film at the cinema or on TV before.I was wondering,whilst watching,why I had not seen or heard of this film before and came to the conclusion(wrongly)that maybe because of the subject matter,ie battle fatigue ,which in certain quarters was not recognised,the film was not generally released.I found it sympathetic,tearful,thought provoking and funny with all the characters adding to a great film.I wish I had recorded this so I could watch it again,but did not,so I will have to see where I can buy it.

grossharv From humor to tears, drama to terror. Very few movies have had the lasting impact of Captain Newman, MD. Once you watch this movie, you will want to see it again and again. Gregory Peck is his faultless acting self. Bobby Darin puts on quite a show while on sodium-pentothal. Eddie Albert is about as creepy as possible. Larry Storch and Tony Curtis will have you cracking a rib laughing.The behind-the-lines wartime drama is probably the finest of any movie of its eraThis one easily rates 10 stars.Harv
