Directed by
Arthur Hiller from the second of three Academy Award-winning screenplays by
Paddy Chayefsky,
The Hospital is a
black comedy centering on
Dr. Herbert Bock (
George C. Scott), a bitter, suicidal surgeon. While patients at the hospital die left and right due to the extreme carelessness and ineptness of the staff that surrounds him, the lonely
Bock finds himself falling for
Barbara (
Diana Rigg), the daughter of
Edmund (
Barnard Hughes), a patient. Meanwhile, a mysterious killer has begun stalking the hospital, taking out the patients who don't die from poor treatment first. In addition to
Chayefsky's Oscar win,
The Hospital garnered a Best Actor nomination for
Scott, who lost to
Gene Hackman for
The French Connection.
