A
doctor still dealing with the aftermath of war discovers the toll
the war has taken at home in this miniseries based on the novel
by A.J. Cronin. Dr. John Finlay (David Rintoul) is a physician
who returns to the small Scottish town of Tannochbrae after serving
in the Army as a medical officer during World War II. Finlay is
still attempting to readjust to civilian life after witnessing
the horrors of war as he goes back to his medical practice with
his elderly colleague Dr. Alexander Cameron (Ian Bannen). While
the irascible Cameron is the same as he's always been, Finlay
soon discovers Tannochbrae is a very different place, as poverty
and the hardships of the war have left their mark, and his fiancée
opted to break off their engagement while he was away. As Finlay
attempts to put his life back together, he also struggles to help
rebuild his hometown while he treats the physical end emotional
maladies of the people of Tannochbrae. Originally produced for
British television, Dr. Finlay was first seen in America as part
of the acclaimed PBS anthology series Masterpiece Theatre; Cronin's
novel was also the basis of a British television series in the
mid-'60s. Mark Deming
