Mine Own Executioner

In postwar London, clinical psychologist Felix Milne (Burgess Meredith) is close to burnout. He has his own marital difficulties as well as an overloaded schedule. Most of his patients aren't really ill or even neurotic, but just need someone to listen to their ordinary troubles. Milne is faced with more of a challenge when he's asked to treat former P.O.W. Adam Lucian (Kieron Moore). Felix is underqualified to treat complicated conditions like Adam's, but feels almost compelled to try to help.—Molly Malloy
