THE YOUNG DOCTORS (1961) has an interesting early scene in which a class of nursing students is given a lesson in endurance (by a wise, kindly, and mordantly humorous Fredric March) at an autopsy. One of the students goes on to become the love interest of a doctor played by Ben Gazzara. The film might be useful as a portrayal of increasingly respectful yet still somewhat patronizing, gender-charged attitudes toward nurses in the evolving early sixties.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
