I'm a rare contributor to discussions on here, but I am just beginning some
research into film "medical" melodramas - I want to analyse models of melodrama
by focussing on how the "genre" (if it is a genre) has dealt with, eg the
doctor/nurse/patient relationship and how it has constructed disease. Apart
from the obvious, mainly 19thC literary/operatic precedents, can anyone suggest
appropriate films for my list. I haven't far beyond Magnificent Obsession,
Brief Encounter and Magnolia so far...
Thanks in advance..
