The Great Moment
The Great Moment ★★ 1944
Story of the Boston dentist who discovered ether's use as an anesthetic in 1845. Confusing at times, changing from comedy to drama and containing flashbacks that add little to the story. Surprisingly bland result from ordinarily solid cast and director. 87m/B VHS . Joel McCrea, Betty Field, Harry Carey Sr., William Demarest, Franklin Pang-born, Porter Hall; D: Preston Sturges; C: Victor Milner.
