Bad for Each Other

Bad for Each Other is a 1953 film directed by Irving Rapper, and starring Charlton Heston and Lizabeth Scott. Its genre has been characterized as a medical melodrama with a film noir bad girl.

It mirrored the plot of the 1938 British film The Citadel closely enough for one reference work to call it the poor mans version of that film.The films trailer promoted it as an expos of ghost surgeons in the contemporary medical profession, the practice of a doctor misrepresenting himself to a patient and taking credit for surgery performed by someone else. The practice was a topic much discussed and condemned at the time. The American College of Surgeons condemned the practice in 1951. ........
