Overview

People Will Talk was less a movie than a conduit for the genteel liberalism of screenwriter/director Joseph M. Mankiewicz. Cary Grant plays Dr. Praetorius, an unorthodox medical professor at a sedate midwestern college who seems more interested in the human soul than in the cold facts of the human body. Praetorius' nemesis is a conservative rival doctor Hume Cronyn who presses for an investigation of our hero's clouded past--with special emphasis given the mysterious old man Finlay Currie who lives with Praetorius and waits on him hand and foot.

Overview

People Will Talk was less a movie than a conduit for the genteel liberalism of screenwriter/director Joseph M. Mankiewicz. Cary Grant plays Dr. Praetorius, an unorthodox medical professor at a sedate midwestern college who seems more interested in the human soul than in the cold facts of the human body. Praetorius' nemesis is a conservative rival doctor Hume Cronyn who presses for an investigation of our hero's clouded past--with special emphasis given the mysterious old man Finlay Currie who lives with Praetorius and waits on him hand and foot. In the course of the film, Praetorius falls in love with one of his students, an unmarried pregnant girl Jeanne Crain. At the climactic hearing concerning Praetorius' fitness, the presiding judge Basil Ruysdael decides that Praetorius' "modern" methods are more worthwhile than the pragmatic, cut-and-dried theories of his enemies. Based on a German play by Curt Goetz, People Will Talk is a bit too proud of its own cleverness, with Mankiewicz' political planks being wedged in at all the inappropriate times while conversing with the father of the pregnant girl, Praetorius launches on a gratuitous attack against farm subsidies! Still, the film is ten times more intelligent than most of Hollywood's 1951 output, and contains one of Cary Grant's best and subtlest seriocomic performances. Bonus: In the first scene of People Will Talk, the snoopy lady who brings Praetorius' "shady" past to the attention of Hume Cronyn is played by an uncredited Margaret "Wicked Witch of the West" Hamilton. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I love this movie

    Though I can see some of the points made in the synopsis, I feel that this movie is more clever than first thought. The movie is quite risque. It was made in the mid forties when certain social issues were not discussed openly such as unwed pregnancy, and suicide. On other planes, the fact that when Grant and Crain are discussing her pregnancy towards the end of the movie, they are in their bedroom. The room had only one bed. That in itself was not a common practice in movies or later in television. However, beyond the social issues, this movie speaks to my inner romantic. I liked that Grant's character was accepting of Crain's character's past, and also accepted the baby as his own. The relationship between Shunderson and Praetorius is sweet, and Hume Cronyn was great as the sniveling professor.

    A Doctor You Can Trust

    People Will Talk is one of my favorite movies. I really wish there was a doctor like Grant's character middle aged Dr. Praetorius. He is kind, level headed, and always listens to the patient. The movie is set up around his practice at the local college, where a rival professor is trying to dig up some dirt to discredit Praetorius' practice. During this time, Praetorius comes to the aid of a pregnant college girl who doesn't want to add the burden to her father by having an illegitimate child. In coming to her aid, Praetorius falls in love for the first time. While I agree with the other review on this title, I found it enjoyable and let the ideas of the past stay in the past.
