The disgraced doctor quoted earlier handles medical needs for a gang of criminals.  He often verbally noodles an altered version of the British drinking song that is performed by a chorus of impressive names playing RAF pilots in the film The Dawn Patrol (1938).  The doctor relates the song to a cholera epidemic in India in the 19th century.

Well, then.

1941's The Get-Away (sometimes listed as The Getaway)  has Robert Sterling as the undercover Fed who arranged a prison break to make his way into a gang.  Dan Daily was the gang leader he was after.  Charles Winninger was the besotted MD / comedy relief who handled emergency first aid for the gang.  This film was aired a couple of weeks back on TMC.  I had first seen it some time in the fifties; one of the things I remembered was that it was in that film that I first heard that "Next Man That Dies" song.

 

Open thread.

thanks lavender

 

- despite the successful, eye-pleasing outcome of a challenging shoot, the film was a box office failure that led to Transatlantic's demise, and the director's pleasure at snagging "the biggest star of the day" was quickly overshadowed by the actress' scandalous affair with a foreign director.

 

-film?
