H.M. Pulham, Esq.
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

Robert Young is the New England businessman looking back at his youth in King Vidor's 1941 adaptation of John P. Marquand's best-seller. Vidor was always anxious to try out the new techniques that came his way; here he uses a flashback and voice-over structure that may have been inspired by Citizen Kane. With Hedy Lamarr, Ruth Hussey, Charles Coburn, and Van Heflin; screenplay by Vidor and his wife, Elizabeth Hill.
