The Citadel

Typhoid. Tuberculosis. Cave-Inx. Young Dr. Andrew Mason fights the ills that beset the overworked and forgotten people in poor Welsh mining towns. He is a resolute healer .until the burdens of his struggle shatter his idealism. To the dismay of his wife, he opens a London practice tending to the pampered rich. Then tragedy forces his to face what he has become, and what he has lost. From A.J. Cronin's acclaimed novel and featuring an extraordinary cast of Robert Donat, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Richardson, Emlyn Williams, and Rex Harrison, this powerful and exhilarating 1938 box-office hit earned four Academy Award nomination, including Best Picture. One of the earliest productions from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's British studios, it also won the New York Film Critics Circle and National Board of Review honors for Best Picture.
