Men in White is a 1934 Pre-Code film starring Clark Gable and Myrna Loy, and directed by Ryszard Bolesławski. Because of the suggested illicit romance and the suggested abortion in the movie, it was frequently cut. The Legion of Decency cited the movie as unfit for public exhibition.
Loosely based on the Sidney Kingsley play of the same name: a dedicated young doctor places his patients above everyone else in his life. Unfortunately, his Social Register fianceé can't accept the fact that he considers an appointment in the operating room more important than attending a cocktail party. He soon drifts into an affair with a pretty nurse who shares his passion for healing.
One thread of the story involves diabetic hypoglycemia:
The film was very successful at the box office. According to MGM records it earned $890,000 in the US and Canada and $565,000 elsewhere resulting in a profit of $784,000.
Men in White was presented on the Lady Esther Screen Guild Theatre on CBS July 19, 1943. The 30-minute adaptation starred Jean Hersholt, James Craig, and Louise Allbritton.
