The
Doctor’s Dilemma (1958)
Dirk plays the witty, detached, artistic Louis Dubedat whose decline in the grip of TB drives his wife Jennifer (Leslie Caron) to despair. She begs a doctor to try a revolutionary new treatment. The doctor must decide whether or not to administer to a bigamist and scoundrel. Shaw's text does not disappoint.
