Featured review
Another scoundrel for Warren William
Back in the 30s whenever you needed a scoundrel portrayed Warren William got
first call. Bedside is a perfect Warren William part.
In Bedside Warren William gave up the study of medicine some time for a life of conning and carousing. But in due course he hits on a brilliant idea after encountering a disgraced former doctor in David Landau. Landau sells him his degree and William moves to New York.
What William has is charm in abundance and maybe if he had decided to just have a neighborhood practice somewhere he might have gotten away with it. But with a press agent in Allen Jenkins to promote him, former girlfriend Jean Muir to be his nurse and an associate in Donald Meek who is a superb diagnostician and researcher content to stay in the background William becomes a known society doctor, but it's all one big front.
Bedside is an almost perfect Warren William vehicle, no one else on the screen at the time could have played the con artist doctor with quite the aplomb William brings to this part. I would also recommend David Landau's performance here as well. Dope addiction was a forbidden topic and this film was on the cusp of the code. But Landau's is a tragic and pitiable figure as a morphine addicted physician whose career went to ruin because of it.
Bedside is a real sleeper of a film, an undiscovered gem from Warner Brothers in the 30s. A must for fans of Warren William.
