The Last Angry Man

The Last Angry Man is a 1959 American drama film that tells the story of a television producer who profiles the life of a physician.

The movie was scripted by Richard Murphy from the novel by Gerald Green (who also adapted it), and was directed by Daniel Mann.

The movie was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor (Paul Muni) and Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black-and-White (Carl Anderson, William Kiernan).

As the fiercely dedicated general practitioner who tries to help the sick, the poor, and the unfortunate in his decrepit neighborhood, Dr. Sam Abelman is a testy old man who faces life without compromise and Woodrow Thrasher is a troubled television executive fighting to preserve his career.

Paul S. Cowan of The Harvard Crimson wrote that the film "combines some of the finest motion picture effects with many of the worst.
