The Doctor and the Girl (also known as Bodies and Souls) is a 1949 American drama film directed by Curtis Bernhardt and starring Glenn Ford, Charles Coburn, Gloria DeHaven and Janet Leigh that was inspired by the French novel Corps et Âmes by Maxence van der Meersch.

Michael Corday has recently received his medical degree, and starts an internship at Bellevue Hospital, in New York City.

She must build strength before she can withstand her surgery; during her lengthy time in hospital, Michael falls in love with her.

Fabienne, who has become pregnant to a married man who has deserted her, turns up at Michael's door, suffering major blood loss after a miscarriage.

Prior to The Doctor and the Girl, American films avoided discussion of abortion, which was illegal in most states.
