Internes Can't Take Money is a 1937 American drama film directed by Alfred Santell and starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea, Lloyd Nolan and Stanley Ridges.
At New York's Mountview General Hospital, widow Janet Haley faints from exhaustion and malnutrition after intern Dr. Jimmie Kildare treats her for a burn from a pleating machine.
He takes an armload of food, stopping at the bar for a coule of bottles of beer before hitching a ride downtown with an ambulance.
To repay Jimmie's favor, Hanlon deploys his huge organization all over the city and stops Innes and Janet before they leave town.
The operation is successful but Innes refuses to talk until Hanlon and Jimmie frighten him into telling the truth.
In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic John T. McManus called the film "[a] nicely performed, well ordered and fairly rational reshuffle of the cinema verities (the chief of which are love, frustration, pathos, suspense, action and ambrosia)" and praised the lead actors: "Miss Stanwyck's work is pleasantly subdued, in contrast to the stormy time she has had in her last picture or so.
