I’ve always wanted to see this movie but I also don’t want to ruin the illusion that literally every scene is just James Colburn walking into appointments with patients and slapping the shit out of them.

It's a personal favorite. Has a great soundtrack by Roy Budd. The young James Hong shows he had the chops early on. Based on a novel by Michael Crichton started (iirc) while he was at Harvard Med School. Blake Edwards films always look good as does this. A Just-misses A that feels like a Classy B
I kind of wish this would replace the Batman-slapping-Robin meme.

James Hong has been in everything.
