MGM's 9-film Dr. Kildare Series Ranked from Best to Worst
I watched this entire series over the past summer, mainly because I'm such a big fan of Lionel Barrymore, but as I watched the series I came to like Lew Ayers as well. I just decided to compile this list for fun, to see if I could fairly rank the films from best to worst. I'll make a second list later on, ranking the Gillespie films, made after Lew Ayres left the series.
