About this product

Product Information

Paddy Chayevsky, the scriptwriter of this black comedy, also penned such paranoid classics as NETWORK and ALTERED STATES. He was known for his acerbic work that was often heavy on social commentary. With THE HOSPITAL, Chayevsky is spot on in his satire about modern bureaucracies. As a result, the themes in his films feel very current.Dr. Herb Bock (George C. Scott) is an alcoholic doctor-turned-administrator who tries to manage an overburdened and chaotic hospital with fatal results. In an absurd twist, it appears that they are losing patients left and right; even hospital workers are dying. Bock meets Miss Barbara Drummond (Diana Rigg, of THE AVENGERS), a woman waiting for her father to recover from a coma, and manages to bond with her over the ludicrous situations institutions impose on their patrons. The comedy here attacks the prestige surrounding the medical profession, and this cult favorite still rings true in our HMO age. Luckily, laughter is still the best medicine. THE HOSPITAL earned two Oscar nominations, including one for George C. Scott for Best Actor.

  • The Hospital. 1991

    I have quite a movie collection, and bought The Hospital while browsing in the VHS movies because I saw this movie when it first came out. It stars George C. Scott and Diana Rigg. Scott is the hospital administrator and deals with surgeons doing unneccary surgery for the money, and patients being murdered, and other problems of the hospital. Diana Rigg is a nurse who brings her father, a doctor, from the jungle where he practices medicine. The father is ill. A medicine man from the jungle arrives and does a ceremony over the father and caused quite a stir in the modern hospital. What I like most about this movie is that it points out that doctors and nurses are humans and subject to the same weaknesses and errors as non-medical humans. If you see this movie, you will look at your ...
