Shiroi Kyoto (1966)

Synopsis of Shiroi Kyoto

Director Satsuo Yamamoto wields his sarcastic scalpel in this message movie that takes jabs at the practices of the medical profession. The film begins with a surgeon cutting a patient from his sternum to his navel before revealing the stomach and bowels. A noted surgeon is more interested in publicity photos and press releases than his oath to heal. Another jealous doctor sabotages the career of a gifted young physician to advance his own career. The theme of the film was used once again in the 1970 black comedy The Hospital. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
