Dr. Kildare's Victory 1941  N/R, 92 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: W.S. Van Dyke
Cast: Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore, Anne Ayars, Robert Sterling, Jean Rogers, Alma Kruger, Walter Kingsford, Nell Craig, Edward Gargan, Marie Blake
Two hospitals are feuding, which results in an intern being fired for bringing a patient to the wrong hospital. Dr. Kildare (Lew Ayres) successfully performs surgery on the beautiful patient, Edith (Ann Ayres). She then proceeds to fall in love with Kildare, but he still grieves for his fiancee, who died (in the previous episode). With several members of the cast of the earlier films missing, this was the appropriate time to end the series.

In Jacques Offenbach's beautifully staged opera, university student Hoffmann (Robert Rounseville) experiences doomed love affairs. For example, Hoffmann romances Olympia (Moira Shearer), but she turns out to be a life-sized mechanical doll. His other romances with Giulietta (Ludmilla Tcherina) and Antonia (Anne Ayars) also result in failure, but, in the process, Hoffmann learns to turn those bad experiences into art.
