The Great Stars: The Citadel

BBC One
on BBC One London

The Great Stars of yesterday and today in a season of their most memorable films
[Starring] Robert Donat, Rosalind Russell
with Ralph Richardson, Rex Harrison, Emlyn Williams

A brilliant and idealistic young doctor struggles against squalor and ignorance in a small Welsh mining community.
Robert Donat gives a brilliant performance in this film - a year later he was to win an Academy Award for his performance in Goodbye Mr. Chips. Asthma was always a blight on his career, however, and in 1958 he died at the early age of fifty-three.
