The Citadel (1938)
7/10
A performance by Robert Dunant that dominates the film.
4 May 2021
A drama directed by King Vidor, tells the story of a promising doctor who exchanges his principles for financial stability. It is interesting how it talks about the medical system seeing the corruptions or abuses that exist within it. It is a persistent and clear script, everything unfolds without much mystery.

Robert Dunant gives an amazing performance. His 'Doctor Manson' went through a human evolution, revealing at first those eyes full of light and passion, how they turn off and the spark that reignites them. His courtroom scene only confirms the reason for his nod to the Oscars for 'Best Actor' in 1939.
