Three Men in White (1944) Lionel Barrymore, Van Johnson, Ava Gardner

Dr. Leonard Gillespie (Lionel Barrymore) is looking for a new assistant, and his two interns — girl-crazy Dr. Randall “Red“ Adams (Van Johnson) and studious Dr. Lee Wong How (Keye Luke) — both want the job. To decide who gets the position, Gillespie assigns each a test case to solve. For both doctors, the seemingly straightforward assignments turn out to be more complex than they first realized, requiring examinations of the patients’ home lives that go beyond mere medicine.
