US (1971): Comedy/Drama
This movie is a black comedy about a bitter, suicidal doctor (George C. Scott) whose hospital is being destroyed by the murders of several staff members, as well as the staff's own ineptness. Eventually, he falls in love with a young woman (Diana Rigg), who just makes his world more confusing. The film is a black satire, and the witty, satirical Academy Award®-winning screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky makes it a very entertaining comedy. Arthur Hiller directs a cast that also features Barnard Hughes, Richard A. Dysart, Stephen Elliott, Andrew Duncan and Nancy Marchand.
